And then,later in the century,the Internet came along,erasing all symbolic borders.If the interstate highways had allowed physical freedom,the Internet allowed a different kind of freedom,one unprecedented(空前的)in human experience.It was no coincidence that it was initially referred to as the information superhighway:Seemingly overnight,the knowledge of the world was available to anyone with a keyboard and a modem;people who had never met and would never meet could communicate as if they were lifelong friends.Now the individual at his or her computer terminal was given the power to decide how he or she would be informed of entertained at a given moment.No one else had the absolute authority to arrange the individual’s life;he or she made that decision,moment by moment.What in the past might have taken a person a lifetimesearching for mankind’s recorded wisdom in distant and magnificent libraries-now,in theory,was available with a series of key taps from one’s room.What had once seemed unbelievable had,very quickly,become routine.
The three developments ended up changing our daily world greatly;largely because of them,it is a world that would be almost unrecognizable to our grandparents and greatgrandparents.
