问题 This book is about the future of technology. In it we will examine some of the many recent developments in a few key fields and try, in a【S1】way, to predict where they will take us in the next fifteen years or so.
If that sounds like a modest goal, it’s not. Technology is the【S2】force of our time and probably of all time to come. It appears in more【S3】than we can count.

A century after America’s founders【S9】their agrarian(耕地的)democracy, nearly all their descendents still lived on farming. Since World War I, technology has【S10】us from behind horse-drawn plows and plugged us into assembly lines and offices. Today it is removing many of us from offices and letting us work at home or forcing us to work on the road.
