What rhetorical mode is adopted in the following paragraph?
Online computer services are having the effect of changing how the world communicates. No longer do people have to go to their local libraries to find reading materials; online services can connect users to a blinding array of reading possibilities. One result is that people can now peek into library holdings all around the world. Encyclopedias don’t need to take up shelf space: They can be found online, just like newspapers and magazine articles. The abbreviated language that has developed around email is changing language itself, thereby making the information superhighway an entirely separate method of communicating, different from standard talking or writing. Consequently, new standards of literacy are popping up as well: Can you read what’s on the Internet?
A、Cause
B、Effect
