    Comparisons were drawn between the development of television in the 20th century and the diffusion of printing in the 15th and 16th centuries. Yet much had happened between. As was discussed before, it was not until the 19th century that the newspaper became the dominant pre- electronic【C1】______, following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the company of the periodical. It was during the same time that the communications revolution【C2】______, beginning with transport, the railway, and leading on through the telegraph, the telephone, radio, and motion pictures【C3】______ the 20th-century world of the motor car and the airplane. Not everyone sees that process in perspective. It is important to do so.
    It is generally recognized,【C4】______, that the introduction of the computer in the early 20th century, followed by the invention of the integrated circuit during the 1960s, radically changed the process, although its impact on the media was not immediately【C5】______. As time went by, computers became smaller and more powerful, and they became "personal" too, as well as 【C6】______, with display becoming sharper and storage capacity【C7】______. They were thought of, like people, in terms of generations, with the distance between generations much smaller.
    It was within the computer age that the term "information society" began to be widely used to describe the【C8】______ within which we now live. The communications revolution has【C9】______ both work and leisure and how we think and feel both about place and time, but there have been 【C10】______ views about its economic, political, social and cultural implications. "Benefits" have been weighed against "harmful" outcomes. And generalizations have proved difficult.
【C10】
选项
答案O
解析 空格应填入形容词修饰views。转折词but表明此处应为否定或负面的看法；后文两个加引号的词benefits和harmful进一步印证了这种看法应该是褒贬不一的，故选择O项controversial“有争议的”。
