问答题 Newspaper publishers make money mainly from subscribers and advertisers. It's been that way for centuries. But in the last few years an important new income stream has opened up for newspapers Among the pioneers is The Gazette Company in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which since 1993 has been providing information to its readers delivered by both paper and, increasingly, the Web. "If a newspaper views itself as ink on paper, I don't think it will survive," says Steve Hannah, vice president of information technology. 46){{U}} Online newspapers are a look into the future, and just pondering it raises the question of whether it isn't nicer getting our daily news curled up in your favorite chair with your ballpoint pen handy to circle items of interests, or scissors ready to snip out articles you want to save{{/U}}. The Gazette Company is betting its subscribers want both electronic and paper options, and so far it seems to be right. The rest of the world is moving into cyberspace more slowly than the United States, and, in the developing world, the Internet has hardly penetrated at all. 47) {{U}}U. N. Secretary General Kofi Annan is determined to change this through the United Nations Information Technology Service, which will train large numbers of people to tap into the income-enhancing power of the Internet{{/U}}. Annan is also proposing an Internet health network that will provide state-of-the-art medical knowledge to 10, 000 clinics and hospitals in poor countries. The onrushing Cyber Age has given newfound power to us all, as seen in Jody Williams's one-woman organization using e-mail to promote a global ban on land mines. Yet, this is but a glimpse of what's ahead in the minds of those immersed in this great and accelerating transformation. 48){{U}} At Microsoft, Bill Gates predicts that by 2018 major newspapers will "publish their last paper editions and move solely to electronic distribution", and that by 2020 dictionaries will redefine books as "e-Book titles read on screen" .{{/U}} 49){{U}} Computers have metamorphosed from the University of Pennsylvania's 1946 ENIAC--whose more than 17, 000 vacuum tubes had less number-crunching power than today's laptop--into thumbnail-sized computer chips containing 42 million transistors{{/U}}. William Van Dusen Wishard, president of World Trends Research, is concerned. 50) {{U}}In a speech to the Issue Management Council in Washington, D. C, he noted that "researchers at Carnegie Mellon University cite a two-year stud! showing depression and loneliness appearing at greater levels in ep.e.2ple using the Internet than in others not using it, or not using it as much{{/U}}. Extensive exposure to the wider world via the Net appears to make people less satisfied with their personal lives."

问答题 Exactly where we will stand in the long war against disease by the year 2050 is impossible to say. (46){{U}} But if developments in research maintain their current pace, it seems likely that a combination of improved attention to dietary and environmental factors, along with advances in gene therapy and protein targeted drugs, will have virtually eliminated most major classes of disease{{/U}}. From an economic standpoint, the best news may be that these accomplishments .could be accompanied by a drop in health-care costs. (47) {{U}}Costs may even fall as diseases 'are brought under control using pinpointed, short-term therapies now being developed. {{/U}}By 2050 there will be fewer hospitals, and surgical procedures will be largely restricted to the treatment of accidents and other forms of trauma. Spending on nonacute care, both in nursing facilities and in homes, will also fall sharply as more elderly people lead healthy lives until close to death. One result of medicine's success in controlling disease will be a dramatic increase in life expectancy. (48) {{U}}The extent of that increase is a highly speculative matter, but it is worth noting that medical science has already helped to make the very old (currently defined as those over 85 years of age) the fastest growing segment of the population. {{/U}}Between 1960 and 1995, the U.S. population as a whole increased by about 45%, while the segment over 85 years of age grew by almost 300%. (49) {{U}}There has been a similar explosion in the population of centenarians, with the result that survival to the age of 100 is no longer the newsworthy feat that it was only a few decades ago{{/U}}. U.S. Census Bureau projections already forecast dramatic increase in the number of centenarians in the next 50 years: 4 million in 2050, compared with 37, 000 in 1990. (50) {{U}}Although Census Bureau calculations project an increase in average life span of only eight years by the year 2050, some experts believe that the human life span should not begin to encounter any theoretical natural limits before 120. years{{/U}}.
