Introduction to Letters to Sam

Dear Reader,

Please allow me to tell you something before you read this book. When my 21 , Sam, was born, my heart was filled with joy. I had been sitting in a wheelchair for 20 years before then, and I have been 22 ill many times. So I wondered if I would have the 23 to tell Sam what I had 24 .

For years I have been hosting a program on the 25 and writing articles for a magazine.  Being 26 to move freely, I have learned to sit still and keep my heart 27 , exchanging thoughts with thousands of listeners and 28 . So when Sam was born, I 29 to tell him about school and friendship, romance and work, love and everything else. That’s how I started to write these 30 . I hope that Sam would 31 them sooner or later.

However, that expectation 32 when Sam showed signs of autism (自闭症) at the age of two. He had actually stopped talking before the discovery of the signs. He 33 to communicate with others, even the family members. That was 34 for me but didn’t stop me writing on. I realized that I had even 35 now to tell him. I wanted him to 36 what it means to be “different” from others, and learn how to fight against the misfortune he’ll 37 as I myself, his grandfather, did. I just 38 if I could write all that I wanted to say in the rest of my life.

Now, 39 the book has been published, I have been given the chance. Every chapter in the book is a letter to Sam: some about my life, and all about what it means to be a 40 .

Smart phones that react to your moods and televisions that can tell it’s you who’s watching are in your future as Intel Corporation’s top technology expert sets his sights on context-aware computing.

Chief technology officer Justin Rattner showed how personal devices will one day offer advice. “How can we change the relationship so we think of these devices not as devices but as assistants or even companions?” he asked.

Handheld devices could combine already common geographic location technology with data from microphones, cameras, heart and body monitors and even brain scans to offer their owners advice that today only a friend or relative could give.

“Imagine a device that uses a variety of sensors to determine what you are doing at an instant, from being asleep in your bed to being out for a run with a friend, ” Rattner said, “Future devices will constantly learn about who you are, how you live, work and play.’’

Rattner also demonstrated a television remote control that figures out who is holding it based on how it is held, and then learns the viewer’s entertainment preferences.

As the world leader for decades in microchips for servers and desktop computers, Intel is hurrying to catch up in the profitable market for smart phones like Apple’s iPhone and Research in Motion’s Blackberry.

Telephones with e-mail, global positioning and media players are pointing the way to a future where ever more functions are packed into ever smaller mobile devices.

The smart phone industry, including technology giants like LG and Samsung, is likely to sell 270 million phones this year and grow 25 percent in 2011, according to market research company IDC.

“I think you can expect to see features that support context-aware computing starting to appear in Intel products in the near future,” Rattner said.

But analysts say Intel faces an uphill battle getting its microchips into new phones as Nvidia, Marvell and Qualcomm have already made headway with cheap, lower-power processors based on designs by ARM Holdings.

Rattner recognized that questions about privacy and people’s willingness to be intimate with their computers will have to be settled before the future generation of smart phones he described takes off.

“If you think identity threat is a problem today, imagine when your whole context is readily available on the Net.”, he said.

1.The future smart phones can do all of the following except _______.

2.Which of the following are smart phones according to the passage?

3.From the passage we can infer that _______.

4.The best title for the passage is likely to be _______.
