THE INTERNET AND GUTEMBERG 
In our self-absorbed age, everything is the newest NewThing or the 
and even extend your life, according to research. As one study at Cleveland 
Clinic showed, covering two flights of stairs daily can result in a loss of up to 
10 pounds in a year. Other findings indicate that using the stairs 10 minutes 
per day can add one to two years to your life. 
From Seattle Times, August 13, 2000 
7) The main purpose of this passage is to: 
(A) present an efficient substitute for a low-fat diet. 
biggest Big Thing. This spirit inevitably invests the Internet with transcendent 
significance. Steve Case of America Online already calls the new century "the 
Internet Century," and some authorities whisper that the Internet rivals the 
importance of Gutemberg's invention of the printing press in the 15th century. 
We suffer from historical amnesia. Suppose you were born in 1900. You 
wouldn't yet watch movies, let alone global TV. The airplane hadn't been 
invented, and Henry Ford wouldn't produce the first Model T until 1908. 
Fewer than 10 percent of U.S. homes had phones, and fewer than 8 
percent had electricity. Antibiotics hadn't been discovered. As yet the Internet 
isn't in the same league with these developments. Each changed lifestyles 
and popular beliefs. The automobile suburbanized America and inaugurated 
mass travel. 
Antibiotics, vaccines and public-health advances helped raise life 
expectancy from 46 in 1900 to 77 today. The explosion of prosperity - a 
consequence of electricity, other technologies and modern management - 
shortened working hours and expanded leisure. Movies and TV transformed 
popular culture. As a matter of fact, the Internet is too young for anyone to 
foretell its ultimate significance. Our historical amnesia could benefit from the 
words of a Tennessee farmer at a church meeting in the 1940s. "Brothers and 
sisters, I want to tell you this," he said. "The greatest thing on earth is to have 
the love of God in your heart, and the next greatest is to have electricity in 
your home." Can the Internet really top that? 
From Newsweek, January 24, 2000
