Explanation:

In paragraph 4 the author states, “I am still waiting to see if the iPhone can do what the printing press did for religion and democracy… the Geneva museum makes a strong case that the printing press opened more minds than anything else… it’s hard to imagine the French or American revolutions without those enlightened voices in print….”  
Option 1 is incorrect. Though the passage mentions a few advantages and disadvantages, the main conclusion of the passage is not that the disadvantages have outweighed the advantages. Eliminate option 1.
Option 2 is correct. The writer compares the effects of the iPhone and implicitly that of the internet with the effect that the printing press had in ‘opening people’s minds.’  He makes the remark that he is still waiting to see if the iPhone will make as powerful an impact on people as the printing press did. Retain option 2.
Option 3 is incorrect. The passage does not support the conclusion that the writer finds the internet or the iPhone disappointing. Eliminate option 3.
Option 4 is incorrect. The suggestion that iPhone is “more wasteful than the printing press…” is not the main conclusion though there is a passing mention of it in the passage. Eliminate option 4.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
