developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the

printed page outdated. From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is

certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered

e-reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover

opened, the pages parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or

words underlined. And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the

information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers

the chance of a wholly private, “off-line” activity.

那请问专家老师，continued, continual,

continuous 有什么区别啊？
