ReadthepassagecarefullyandtranslatetheunderlinedsentencesintoChinese

【答案】（1）当你设法弄清消费信息技术将向何处发展以及这对社会意味着什么时，要记住这个重要的核心事实：人们只是想看更多的电视节目。

（2）就像其他每个消费电子产品公司做的那样，索尼公司在最近的消费类电子产品展会上推出大量产品，这些产品是用来把网络视频放到电视上。在同时举行的麦客世界展会上，苹果公司总栽史蒂夫•乔布斯推出具有同样功能的苹果电视。

（3）从那时到现在，基本而明显的事实是处理器的功能不断提高和带宽的不断增大，而预言家们已经自信地预测了这一天。正如他们自信地预言它的含义：传统的电视节目会被替代。

（4）实际情况却正好相反。尽管网络时代有其他多种选择，我们美国人如今看的无聊电视却比以往任何时候都多，这就说明了问题。

（5）关于电视，没有人比著名的《纽约人》杂志评论家E.B.怀特的评价更恰当。他在1938年写道：“我们的好坏将取决于电视,这一点我敢肯定。”
