听力原文：W: Today people are hearing about information superhighways and the internet. The

y're wondering where this is going to go.

M: I often think about it, too. How will it develop？ How will it affect different areas？ Is this change going to be beneficial for me personally？

W: I have a friend who is a businessman and is very non-technical. Last year, when he found out he could play cards with friends all over the country on a computer, ho bought a portable computer. At first he used it mostly to play cards wherever he went, but now he's learned how to do other things on the Internet and he's fascinated by how the world changes and what that means from a business point of view.

M: There's no doubt the Internet will be a powerful commercial medium. It'll connect hundreds of millions of customers and open up huge markets for all kinds of products and services.

W: That's true. I can imagine companies sending advertisements directly to customers over the net. Customers, in turn, can examine and compare whatever goods they want to buy and tell their computers to find them at the best price offered.

M: Yeah. Your computer will be your representative and will spare no efforts in bargaining with the computers of various sellers. It'll be a shopper's heaven.
