請依下文回答第 16 題至第 20 題： In an article entitled “The Lure of Technologies Past,” Nick Bilton says: “What I’ve come to realize is that while the new thing gets people excited, the old thing often doesn’t go away. And if it does, it takes a very long time to meet its demise.” Indeed, the old thing dies hard. Just take a look at film cameras. One would think they have been 16 by the digital camera, but millions of people still use them. And while Polaroid, the instant film camera, has filed for bankruptcy, the company is making a 17 . One of Polaroid’s largest growing 18 , surprisingly, is teenagers who want tangible photos but do not want to wait. Other cases in point are vinyl records, print books and newspapers. According to the Recording Industry Association of America, 13 million vinyl records were sold in 2014, the highest count in 25 years. About 55 million newspapers still land on doorsteps every morning. And More than 571 million print books were sold in the United States in 2014. So why does old technology 19 and, in some cases, undergo a revival? For some consumers, it’s about 20 (e.g., film cameras and record players), while for others, it’s about familiarity (e.g., newspapers and print books).

思路引導 VIP
請觀察最後一段的括號範例：底片相機（film cameras）和黑膠唱片機（record players）。當人們放著便利的數位科技不用，反而回頭追求這些「舊時代的產物」時，通常是為了追求一種什麼樣的「情懷」或「對往日的留戀」呢？
