【选词填空】

The things people make，and the way they makethem， determine how cities grow and decline，and influence how empires rise and fal.So，anydisruption to the world's factories matters.

And that disruption is surely coming.Factoriesare being digitised，filled with new sensors andnew computers to make them quicker， moreflexible， and more efficient.
