What has the telephone done to us, or for us, in the hundred years of its existence? A few effects suggest themselves at once. It has saved lives by getting rapid word of illness, injury, or fire from remote places. By joining with the elevator to make possible the multi-story residence or office building, it has made possible for better or worse — the modem city. By bringing about a great leap in the speed and ease with which information moves from place to place, it hasg reatly accelerated the rate of scientific and technological changes and growth in industry. Beyond doubt it has seriously weakened if not killed the ancient art of letter writing. It has made living alone possible for persons with normal social impulses (冲动) ; by so doing, it has played a role in one of the greatest social changes of this century, the breakup of the multi-generational household. It has made the war chillingly more efficient than formerly.Perhaps, though not provably, it has prevented wars that might have arisen out of intemational misunderstanding caused by written communication. Or perhaps―again not provably―by magnifying (扩大) and extending irrational personal conflicts based on voice contact, it has caused wars.Certainly it has extended the scope of human conflicts, since it impartially (不偏不倚) disseminates (传播)the useful knowledge of scientists and the nonsense of the ignorant, the affection of the affectionate and the malice (恶意) of the malicious.

It is a rare sch奥鹏华中师范大学平时在线作业ool that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well.
