Restaurants in Europe，the United States and Japan are testing technology to let diners older their food direct from a semen at their table instead of depending on a fellow human being to note their choice．
Besides cutting costs，companies that sell the “e-menu” argue the bytes-for-bites approach has a novelty(有新意的)value that can lure younger customers，and various photographs of steaks and gooey desserts tempt diners to order more．It also could extend the TV dinner．How about a computer-game dinner?

At one of the e-menu tables，information technology worker Gil Uriel and his young family were enthusiastic as they checked out pictures of the dishes on offer and squabbled over desserts．“It's more visual．” said Uriel，as his children clicked away furiously on a games function between courses．“We can still choose，we con still argue—but it's much easier when you call all see it．”

Living an Adventurous Life
Neatly ten years ago，I was told that I had a brain tumor(瘤)，and this experience changed my
attitude about adventure forever．I thought that I was going to die and that all my adventures were
over．I did not have a brain tumor，it turned out，but rather multiple sclerosis，which meant that，
although they were not over，the nature of my adventures could have to change．
Each morning that I wake up is a fresh event，something that I might not have had Each gesture that I make carries the weight of uncertainty and demands significant attention；buttoning my shirt，changing a light bulb，walking down stairs．I might not be able to do it this time．If I could not delight in them，they would likely drown me in anger and in self-pity．
I admire the grand adventures of others．I read about them with interest．With Peter Matthiessen I have hiked across the Himalayas to the Crystal Mountain．I have walked with Annie Dillard up，down，into，and across Tinker Creek in all Seasons．David Bain has gone with me along 110 miles of Philippine coast，and Ed Abbey has rowed me down the Colorado River，I enjoy the adventures of these courageous figures，who can strike out on difficult trips——2 miles，250 miles，3000 miles——ready to bear cold and tiredness——indeed not just to bear but to celebrate．
But as for me，I can no longer walk very far from the armchair in which I read Some days I
don't even make it to the backyard．And yet I'm unwilling to give up the adventurous life; the difficulty of it，even the pain，the anxiety and fear，and the sudden brief lift of spirit that makes a hard journey more attractive．
I refine adventure，make it smaller and smaller And now，whether I am moving on my hands
and knees across the dining room to help my cat，lying wide-eyed in the dark battling another period of sadness，gathering flowers from the garden，meeting a friend for lunch，I am always having the adventures that are mine to have
