We…re living through a period of dynamic change. America is ahead just now，with over 50 percent of the population on-line；Britain is next，then Scandinavia and Japan，with the rest of Europe lagging surprisingly behind. But it won‟t be long before everyone catches up. In the third world especially，the internet will be a revolutionary force that will promote democracy and economic growth.The lightning speech of American decision-making in today…s business world is rooted in the technology. In the 1980s，American companies，desperate to compete with Japanese and German companies，shed their bureaucratic（官僚的）aspects and returned to the knife-edge of the market. Companies began to be run much more aggressively in the interests of shareholders，and that powered the adoption of new technology. The pay of CEOs （首席执行官）was tied to stock-market performance and businessmen got rich in a way they never previously imagined.On the knife-edge of the market some are going to bleed. One big invention here is “frictionless selling” for cars—buying on-line rather than through a salesman at a car dealership （汽车专卖行）。
