11、tered the 21st century, people could not help looking back to the past 20 years when they managed to cope with a new threat the computer. By the year of 1980, computers had become a fact of life. They were, the magazine DISCOVER noted that December, “in cars, offices, schools and homes, toys and wat

13、e, observed the writer John Leo, a large number of Americans were “computerphobes” (电脑恐惧者) and “techno-peasants”, who feared that computers were “designed to destroy privacy, eliminate jobs, carry the TV generation even further away from literacy, read few words on food boxes so that the grocer can

They worried that they would lose status and their assistants if they were seen at keyboard. Publishers and journalists, he continued, were f

15、rightened that the printed word would be eliminated. “True, the newspaper travels wellyou can not put a computer under your arm while rushing for a train,” he wrote, “Not now, but a more advanced and complicated portable version, about the size of a hand-held electronic game, may not be far off.”Tod

19、orn clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intel

20、ligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reached those limits will depend on his environment. This view,

21、 now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random f

Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and

We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developi

24、ng, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence. 2.2.1 The writer is in favor of the view that
