Read the following passage and answer questions 1 through 4:
In ancient times wealth was measured and exchanged in things that could be touched： food， tools， and precious metals and stones.

Coins were followed by fiat money， paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them. Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms， reducing it to a series of "bits and bytes"， or units of computerized information， going between machines at the speed of light.
