    Comparisons were drawn between the development of television in the 20th century and the diffusion of printing in the 15th and 16th centuries. Yet much had happened【31】. As was discussed before, it was not【32】the 19th century that the newspaper became the dominant pre-electronic【33】, following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the【34】of the periodical. It was during the same time that the communications revolution【35】up, beginning with transport, the railway, and leading【36】through the telegraph, the telephone, radio, and motion pictures【37】the 20th-century world of the motor car and the airplane. Not everyone sees that process in【38】. It is important to do so.
    It is generally recognized,【39】, that the introduction of the computer in the early 20th century,【40】by the invention of the integrated circuit during the 1960s, radically changed the process,【41】its impact on the media was not immediately【42】.

The communications revolution has【48】both work and leisure and how we think and feel both about place and time, but there have been【49】views about its economic, political, social and cultural implications. "Benefits" have been weighed【50】"harmful" outcomes. And generalizations have proved difficult.
选项 A、indeed
B、hence
C、however
D、therefore
答案C
解析 上文的not everyone sees... (不是所有人都认识到……)和本句的It is generally recognized... (大家普遍承认……)之间显然是一种转折关系，故C项however符合题意。
