The traditional way to define the difference between rural and urban lifestyles is geographically. But with the impact of communications technology it makes more sense to draw the distinction in informational terms. People who rarely communicate electronically with anyone are living rural lifestyles, irrespective of where they live, while people who communicate daily with dozens of people via fax or modem are living urban lifestyles, even if they live in the country. The situation described above most closely illustrates which one of the following propositions?
A: Many people who use electronic technology find urban lifestyles more satisfying than they find rural lifestyles.
B: We are unable to foresee the magnitude of the changes that the information revolution may have in defining our lives.
C: People are choosing to live in different regions of the nation than previously because of the impact of electronic communications technology.
D: Frequency of electronic communication with others is superseding geographical considerations in defining our lifestyles.
Choose A, B, C or D as your solution.
