Read the texts from a magazine article in which five business leaders talked about their predictions for high-tech developments in the 21st century. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person ( 1 to 5 ) to one of the statements ( [A] to[G]) given be-low. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET 1.
Maguel de Icaza:
Free software benefits people, countries and companies by giving them complete controls of the software on which they depend. This is helping close the digital divide between developed countries. People who previously might never have had access to this sort of technology are already leading the efforts to bring it to the developing world. Free software is the foundation on which a fairer future and a more efficient economy is being built.
Austin Hill:
Welcome to the future. Your mobile phone tracks your location, your interactive TV records your viewing habits. Privacy is to the information age what environmentalism was to the industrial age. Businesses will protect themselves, and their customers, by introducing privacy-promoting technologies and building better data controls into every aspect of their operation. A leading class of privacy protectors will emerge in every industry, and both they and their customers will reap the rewards of the ethical privacy brand.
Ng Ede Phang:
This will be the year that plain old text e-mail sits up and starts talking—and talking a lot. The human voice is a powerful weapon. An e-mail doesn’t tell me whether you’re happy, sad or excited, whereas Internet voice services provide all these key emotional characteristics. The human voice adds a very powerful element to business relationships that e-mail just cannot match.
Murray Goldman:
For those of us who live on airplanes, a key decision is which electronic devices to carry ona trip. The future is in the appropriate combination of communications and computing dcvices. Many business travelers will require the full computing power of a personal computer, with a screen large enough to do intensive work. As a result, lightweight notebooks have been introduced to the market with innovative options such as built-in DVDs, cameras and wireless capabilities.
Christine Karman:
We’ll see agents on portals and community websites helping people trade goods and information. Venture capitalists are shifting from dotcoms to software and hardware companies. In Europe, that shift is hard to make because we don’t have a Silicon Valley from which lots of companies are conquering the world. As a consequence, the slowly emerging Internet and software industry in Europe may not survive. If I were starting a new software company now, I’d go to california or Boston.
Now match each of the persons ( 61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
[A] Business travelers will set the trend of future computer market.
[B] Europe will catch up with America in the hitech industry.
[C] Privacy needs special protection in the information age.
[D] Voice e-mail adds a human touch to online communication.
[E] Compactness and multifunction will be a trend in the future market.
[F] Free software helps bring about digital equality.
[G] The digital divide between Europe and the US may widen.
