When I opened my E - mail the other day, a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen. She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm (热情). Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss. She was reading to me an E - mail from my brother, and a lot of it was about his getting the phone company to give him a high speed Internet connection. It was pretty cool.

Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail. Facemail lets you send E-mail that gets read to the receiver by an attractive male of female form of by a clown (小丑). The software, which is free, can be downloaded at www. facemail. com.

Facemail faces are lifelike, and they simulate (模仿) emotions based on emotions - for example - that you put in your text. Type in :-X ,and Rachel blows a kiss.

Life FX, the company that develops the Face - mail, is sure there are broad business uses.

The reason E - business is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch. But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally closed the sale? And it is talking with Whirlpool about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge. Then if Mom can't be home when kids get back from school, she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat.

Facemail could get hot fast. Personally, I'm a fan. But Facemail should be used with care. The
