B. Most people’s lives are completely disconnected from the World Wide Web; they almost never share information; and the Web is an outdated technology with no future potential.

C. Only a few people use the World Wide Web; it is not a place for exchanging information; and its possibilities have already been fully explored.

D. The World Wide Web plays no role in modern life; people avoid receiving or sharing information there; and it is a finished technology with nothing new to offer.
