Passage 7
学霸导读 5G 时代的到来，到底会给我们带来什么？
With the unprecedented growth of advanced technology， humanity is now entering the telecommunication era （ 时代 ） of 5G， which has the p 1 of triggering （ 引发 ） radical （ 彻底的 ） social changes. Some wonder how fast 5G can actually be， while others question the importance of its function and whether it will help us build a better future. In my view， 5G will not only mean an increase in network speed， but will also help to further integrate the world’s people to some e 2 .
According to a video directed by a student at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications， many of us have the same doubt about 5G just as we had f ive years ago， when 4G was set to replace 3G. Few of us had predicted some products 4G generated， such as mobile payment programs which have allowed us to have purchasing power （ 购买力 ） without having to c 3 cash， the concept of the sharing economy， as well as short videos that go viral （ 走红 ） on the Internet.
As a matter of fact， the acceleration （ 加速 ） in wireless traff ic has been a predictable change in our daily lives. What we can’t i 4 about 5G， however， is that it may have the possibility of constructing a more transparent world that conveys （ 传输 ） information more freely. Our world may thus become more integrated and people are expected to start showing more r 5 and understanding towards other cultures because of 5G. So let’s jump out of our current vision （ 视野 ） and embrace the prospect （ 前景 ） that 5G is going to bring us.
Despite the fact that indicates a b 6 future of better mobile networks， we should also ponder （ 深思 ） the side effects it may produce on every individual. A 7 all， we should make good use of 5G to explore our potential rather than let it control us.
