From email to online shopping； you may think you’ve heard everything there to know about the electronic frontier（新领域）。 But with hundreds of thousands of Web pages being added weekly； there are plenty of surprises out there。 Here are some of the most intriguing （有迷惑力的）。
…
Put your kid on a greeting card。 Here is how： simply take some pictures with a regular camera； and then ask the photo service to develop them digitally （数字化）。 For a small fee； you’ll receive your photos on a desk。 Put that into your computer and； with a few clicks of the mouse； you can view your photos on the screen。 With a few more keystrokes； you can attach the photos to email and send them to friends and relatives worldwide。
Sign on to one or several greeting card’s Websites （cardcentral is an index of more than 1200 electronic card sites） and create an electronic birthday or holiday card。 Using your digital photos； you can paste your grandchildren onto the cover。
If you don’t want to use your own photos； go to cards。amazon to browse （浏览） hundreds of images in over 30 categories…all of which you can attach to an electronic greeting card for free。 For a nominal fee you can choose from a library of 75；000 images as photodisc。 com。
Call Australia for free。 To have a telephone conversation over the Internet； the person you want to talk to no longer needs a computer。 Now all you need to talk to someone in Sydney is one computer with speakers； a microphone； a sound card and some software（available at vocaltec。 com or Microsoft。 com）。 Typically； you’ll pay a monthly fee （usually under ＄20） to a service provider； but after that； the calls themselves are local。 Sound quality is the same as that of a cell phone。
Even if you don’t have a computer； you can still use the Web to reduce your long distance phone costs。 Some companies offer a service that lets you use an ordinary phone to call another ordinary phone； but charge only a few cents per minute for US calls； because they send them through the Internet。
Today 48 percent of American homes have computers…a figure that is expected to climb to 60 percent by 2005。 And by the end of the next decade； Americans will likely be spending more time shopping； banking； investing and learning on the Internet than in the real world。 If you can’t do or find something on the net today； you probably can tomorrow。

Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room？ In 2040 it will not matter。 They will turn themselves off； and on again when you return。You will choose the temperature for each room； the lighting and the humidity。 A sensor will detect the presence of a human （and； with luck； ignore the dog！） and turn the systems on； and when the humans leave it will turn them off again。
The sensors will work through the central home computer； and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you。 They will detect faulty electrical appliances； plugs or switches； isolate（隔断） them so that they cannot harm anyone； and then warn you that they need repair。 They will detect fire and if you are out of the house； the computer will call the fire brigade（消防队）。 It will also call the police if the sensors detect an intruder（不速之客）。 This will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic。 You will open them using your personal card—the one you use for shopping—maybe using a number known only to you。
It will be impossible to lose the key； and a housebreaker will have to tamper（拨弄） with the lock or with a window。 It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer。
The computer will be more than a fireman； policeman； and servant。 It will be an entertainer； and most of your entertainment（娱乐） will come right into your home。 It does now； of course； but by 2040 “entertainment” will mean much more。 For one thing； you will be able to take part actively； rather than just watching。
