16、ind. But it wont be long before everyone catches up. In the third world especially, the internet will be a revolutionary force that will promote democracy and economic growth. The lightning speech of American decision-making in todays business world is rooted in the technology. In the 1980s, America
17、n companies, desperate to compete with Japanese and German companies, shed their bureaucratic（官僚的） aspects and returned to the knife-edge of the market. Companies began to be run much more aggressively in the interests of shareholders, and that powered the adoption of new technology. The pay of CEOs
18、 （首席执行官） was tied to stock-market performance and businessmen got rich in a way they never previously imagined.On the knife-edge of the market some are going to bleed. One big invention here is “frictionless selling” for carsbuying on-line rather than through a salesman at a car dealership （汽车专卖行）.
19、I just bought my new car this way. I arranged finance and got just what I wantedcolor, interior, engine sizein half an hour. Thats great for me. But there are 25000most family owned car dealerships in the United States, and in the next century most will die. Its a transition that will surely be repe
20、ated many times over. Telecom （电信） costs are falling towards zero, and computer costs arent far behind.

26、w peoples communication patterns differ: the way people converse. Some foreigners have observed that when Americans carry on a conversation, it seems as if they are having a Ping-Pong game. One person has the ball and then hits it to the other side of the table. The other player hits the ball back a
27、nd the game continues. If one person doesnt return the ball, then the conversation stops. Each part of the conversation follows this pattern: the greeting and the opening, the discussion of a topic, and the closing and farewell.
