to you. You will get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the
TV. An electronic voice will distribute (散布) stories about the latest events, guided
by a program that selects the type of news you want. You’ll even get to choose the
kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story? A simple
