12. Read the text “In the world of information and communication”. 12 баллов Введите ответ в предложенные ниже поля. Рисунок8.png Mass media play an important role in the modern world.

The Internet has become the dominant type of mass media nowadays, though TV is still very popular. The advantage of the Internet is that it reacts swiftly to all the changes and events in the modern world. Read and write only from 1–3 missing words in these gaps where necessary. 1.
