Read the following paragraph and then answer each question.(ตอบข้อ 13-16)
(1) Before the 1950s, computing devices processed data into information, and communications devices communicated information over distances. (2) The two streams of technology developed pretty much independently, likes rails on a railroad track that never merge. (3) Now we have a new story – a revolution. (4) For us, the new story has been digital convergence -- the gradual merger of computing and communications into a new information environment, in which the same information is exchanged, among many kinds of equipment using the language of computers at the same time: telecommunications, consumer electronics, entertainment, mass media-producing new electronic products that perform multiple functions.
