Local businessmen are increasingly facing competition from online retailers. Larry Pollock, owner of Camera Co/Op on South Congress, said he has been dealing with this kind of problem for years, even before the Internet. The struggle began with mail-order catalogues(目录), which are similar to online retailers in that they have few employees to pay, no sales tax fees and no business venue to lease and manage.

“Their overhead is lower, but they don’t offer a service like we do,” Pollock said.

Pollock, however, said providing a valuable service to customers does not always guarantee continued sales.

“We spend 30 minutes to an hour with somebody and they go home and buy it on line,” he said.

According to the state comptroller’s office, online shopping is developing at a more rapid rate than traditional businesses.

In spite of how fair or unfair online shopping may be to the local businessmen, consumers will continue to turn to the Internet for its variety and accessibility, said Mitch Wilson, an online shopper. “You have a larger selection and it's easier to compare prices.”

Wilson said he built his personal computer and paid a third of the price by shopping on line.

“Before the Internet, I would have had to go and buy an assembled computer from somebody like Dell,” he said. “Before I started shopping on line I could never find all the pieces I wanted. No single store had everything needed, so shopping on line saved me from having to buy from Dell.”

Janny Brazeal, a psychology freshman, said online shopping is too impersonal.

“’d rather see it in person, touch it, know that I’m getting it,” she said.

Brazeal also said she would not give out her credit card number or other personal information on line no matter how safe the site claims it is.

When Gretchen Baxter gets home from work as a New York City book editor, she checks her Blackberry at the door. “I think we are attached to these devices in a way that is not always positive,” says Baxter, who’d rather focus at home on her husband and 12-year-old daughter. “It’s there and it beckons(召唤). That’s human nature (but)…we kind of get crazy sometimes and we don’t know where it should stop.”

Americans are connected at unprecedented(前所未有的) levels—93% now use cell phones or wireless devices; one third of those are “smart phones” that allow users to browse the web and check e-mails, among other things. The benefits are obvious: checking messages on the road, staying in touch with friends and family, efficiently using time once spent waiting around. The downside: often, we’re effectively disconnecting from those in the same room.

That’s why, despite all the technology that makes communicating easier than ever, 2010 was the year we stopped talking to one another. From texting at dinner to posting on Facebook from work or checking e-mails while on a date, the connectivity revolution is creating a lot of divided attention, not to mention social anxiety. Many analysts say it’s time to step back and reassess (再评价).

“What we’re going to see in the future is new opportunities for people to be plugged in and connected like never before,” says Scott Campbell. “It can be a good thing, but I also see new ways the traditional social construction is getting somewhat torn apart.”

Our days are filled with beeps and pings—many of which pull us away from tasks at hand or face-to-face conversations. We may feel that the distractions(干扰) are too much, but we can’t seem to stop posting, texting or surfing. “We’re going through a period of adjustment and rebalancing, ” says Sherry Turkle and she wants to remind people that technology can be turned off. “Our human purposes are to really have connections with people,” she says. “We have to reclaim it. It’s not going to take place by itself.”

1.According to Paragraph 1, Gretchen Baxter thinks _____.

A. the new technology always influences people’s life in a positive way

B. the new technology always influences people’s life in a negative way

C. the family isn’t that important compared to the new technology

D. people are too dependent on the new technology to let go

3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The wide use of mobile devices has nothing to do with the traditional social construction.

B. Mobile devices play a less important part in American life.

C. Mobile devices create a lot of divided attention and social anxiety.

D. Many analysts speak highly of the wide popularity of mobile devices.

4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Something must be done to get connection with people in reality again.

B. Using mobile services can help people get con- nection with each other.

C. Mobile services have a strong impact on people’s life.

D. The connection with people can happen naturally.
