17.《必然》The inevitable

And today, through any window on the Internet, we have access to a wide range of music and videos, a comprehensive and thorough encyclopaedia, the ability to check the weather forecast, view satellite photos of every corner of the planet and follow the most up-to-date information on the planet. There are also: TV guides, map navigation, stock information, phone numbers, property information, photos of everything in the world, sports scores, e-commerce for buying almost anything, archives of important newspapers, and so on and so forth. And the time it takes us to access them is almost nil.
