【正文】 ees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals (終端 ) in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people they‘re dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid will change. Workers‘ salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts, making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts. Many panies and consumers have already changed the way they sell or buy products. Emerce, or business done on the Inter, is being more and more popular. This, therefore, makes it possible for people to do shopping without going out of their homes. Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for example, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their livingrooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing as well. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own livingrooms. 61.
