16．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 warmly．Every now and then she stopped to smile at me．She was reading to me an e-mail from my brother．It was very cool and lovely．
Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail．Facemail lets you send an e-mail that gets read to the receiver on line by an attractive male or female or 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 that you put in your text．
The company that develops the Facemail，is sure there will be broad uses in many fields．The reason why 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 Whirpool Company about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge．Then if Mom can't be home when the 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．Facemail is lively and funny at first，but if you select the clown，put a few rude words in an e-mail and add some angry emotions，you've got a crazy mail．
