3 When I came up to the biggest computer, I saw a thin, small man. «I’m Steve,» he answered after I had asked hIm a couple of times what his name was. «I can’t talk with you. I’m busy», he said. I thought he was working, and I apologised. But he was not working. He was chatting online with somebody — probably someone he didn’t know — and, at the same tIme, he was playing a computer game — a war game. I was surprised. Why didn’t Steve want to talk with me?

4 _ I tried to communicate with another computer geek, but not a word came out of his mouth, I touched his shoulder, but there was no reaction. I was getting upset. I put my hand in front of the monitor, and he started to shout, «Leave me alone'»

5 — I realised the people in that place were having a cup of coffee and a nice conversation with their machines. All of them were more interested in having a relationship with the computer. I felt lonely, I saw their bodies, but I couldn’t feel theIr souls. That was because their souls didn’t belong to them. They belonged to the «Net».

Scientific and technical progress

The basis of scientific and technical progress of today is new informational technology which is very different from all the previous technologies. Thanks to up-to-date software and robots new informational technologies can make many processes much faster and transmit information more quickly. It is important today because the quantity of information grows rapidly.
New informational society has its peculiarities. Firstly, more and more employees work in the sphere of service and information. Secondly, more and more huge databases appear to collect and store the information. And finally, information and IT become goods and start playing important part in the country»s economy.
These processes affect social structures and values.
It becomes important to learn to get new knowledge quickly and sometimes to change your qualification. IT can first lead to unemployment, but later create even more workplaces especially for highly qualified professionals. While the hardest work can be performed by robots and routine calculations by computers, in the future people with the most creative mind and numerous fresh ideas will get better career chances.
On one hand technology development gives more access to professional and cultural information and leads to new forms of individual enterprises. But on the other hand there is a danger of total control of private life unless special laws are enforced by the government.
Another danger is «intellectual terrorism» when computer viruses block important programs.
There are other directions of technical and scientific progress of today.
One of them is the development of new ecologically clean sources of energy using sun, gravitation, winds or rain. New kind of transports and new agricultural methods that do not harm our nature are being developed today.
Breakthroughs in science have led to creation of artificial viruses for new medicines and products, body organs for transplantation and productive soils for growing vegetables and crops. Many new materials and technologies are being used in our everyday life.
All these innovations may have influence on our life, social relations and globally on our Earth.
The influence can be very different: from psychological and health problems of children who spend too much time online to an opportunity to prevent genetic diseases for future generations.
But the most difficult problems the humanity faces are global problems.
The first and foremost is ecological problem: pollution of air, water and soil, exhaustion of natural resources. Renewable natural resources such as oxygen, forests, flora and fauna do not have enough time to regenerate. This leads to different changes in climate and nature such as depletion of ozone layer and other things that has not been properly studied by scientists yet.
Other crucial problems include wars, epidemics, and demographic problems.
The only way to solve them is to work globally and in cooperation with other countries. And here the humanity should find a way to use new technologies for the common good. The solution of these problems cannot be postponed because otherwise people will have fewer chances to survive on this planet.

Научно-технический прогресс
Сегодня в основе научного и технического прогресса лежат новые информационные технологии(ИТ), которые значительно отличаются от всех предыдущих технологий. Благодаря новейшему программному обеспечению и роботам, новые ИТ могут ускорить многие процессы и быстрее передавать информацию. Сегодня это важно, потому что количество информации быстро растет.
Новое информационное общество имеет свои особенности. Во-первых, больше и больше сотрудников работают в сфере обслуживания и информации. Во-вторых, появляется все больше огромных хранилищ баз данных, для сбора и хранения информации. И наконец, информация и ИТ становятся товарами и начинают играть важную роль в экономике страны.
Эти процессы влияют на социальные структуры и ценности.
Становится важно получать быстро новые знания и иногда менять свою квалификацию. ИТ вначале могут привести к безработице, но затем создают даже большее число рабочих мест для высококвалифицированных специалистов. В то время как самая тяжелая работа может выполняться роботами, а стандартные вычисления компьютерами, в будущем люди с самым творческим сознанием и большим количеством свежих идей будут иметь лучшие карьерные возможности.
С одной стороны, развитие технологий дает больше доступа к профессиональной и культурной информации и приводит к созданию новых форм индивидуальных предприятий, но с другой стороны, есть опасность тотального контроля над частной жизнью, если специальные законы не будут принятыправительством.Другая опасность — это «интеллектуальный терроризм», когда компьютерные вирусы блокируют важные программы.
Есть и другие направления развития научно-технического прогресса сегодня.
Одно из них это развитие новых экологически чистых источников энергии, используя солнце, гравитацию, ветер или дождь. Сегодня развиваются новые виды транспорта и новые сельскохозяйственные методы, которые не вредят природе.Научные открытия привели к созданию искусственных вирусов для новых лекарств и продуктов, органов для трансплантации и производительных почв для выращивания овощей и злаков. Множество новых материалов и технологий используются в нашей повседневной жизни.
Все эти новшества могут иметь влияние на нашу жизнь, социальные взаимоотношения и в мировом масштабе на нашу Землю.
Влияние может быть различным: от психологических проблем и проблем со здоровьем у детей, которые проводят слишком много времени в интернете до возможности предотвращать генетические заболевания у будущих поколений.
Но самые сложные проблемы, с которыми сталкивается человечество — это глобальные проблемы.
Первая и главная это экологическая проблема: загрязнение воздуха, воды и почвы, истощение природных ресурсов. У возобновляемых природных ресурсов, таких как кислород, леса, флора и фауна не хватает вре¬мени на восстановление. Это приводит к различным изменениям в климате и в природе, таким как истощение озонового слоя и другим явлениям, которые еще не достаточно изучены учеными.
Другие ключевые проблемы это войны, эпидемии и демографические проблемы. Единственный способ решить их — работать глобально и в сотрудничестве с другими странами. И здесь человечество должно найти способ использовать новые технологии для общего блага. Решение этих проблем нельзя откладывать, иначе у людей останется меньше шансов выжить на этой планете

Развитие техники и технологии производства, а так¬же рост организации производства, повышение технического уровня кадров, изменение их профессиональной структуры и другие факторы, — необходимая предпосылка расширенного воспроизводства. Экономико-математический анализ НТП (применяются так¬же термины технический, технологический прогресс) наиболее полно проводится с помощью производственных функций в рамках теории экономического роста. Разработано несколько классификаций типов технического прогресса, самые известные из которых — классификации Хикса, Харрода, Калецкого. Все они с разными модификациями исходят из деления технического прогресса на нейтральный и ненейтральный (в последнем случае — капиталоемкий и капиталосберегающий, трудоемкий и трудосберегающий). Нейтральным называется технический прогресс, при ко¬тором эластичность замещения труда фондами, капиталом (т.е. кривизна изокванты) остается неизменной, а изокванта единичного выпуска сдвигается в сторону начала координат (рис.Н.3). Следовательно, для производства единицы продукции, например, в точке B по сравнению с точкой A требуется меньше труда и меньше фондов (в равной пропорции). Капиталоемкий или трудоэкономящий технический прогресс — не просто такой прогресс, который связан с ростом фондов, а такой, при котором этот рост выше темпов роста численности занятых в материальном производстве. Наоборот, трудоемкий тип технического прогресса — тот, при котором темпы занятости опережают темпы роста производственных фондов (капитала). В этих случаях кривизна изоквант меняется (см. рис. Н.2, кривые II, III). В экономико-математических моделях различаются также понятия материализованного (овеществленного) и автономного (неовеществленного) технического прогресса. Во втором случае имеют обычно в виду усовершенствования методов и организации производства. По способу включения фактора технического прогресса в экономико-математическую модель выделяют понятия экзогенного и эндогенного технического прогресса. Эндогенный рассчитывается из решения модели, экзогенный «задается» извне. В качестве примера последнего можно привести известную модификацию производственной функции, в которую добавляется сомножитель, показывающий эффект технического прогресса (обычно в виде показательной функции реального времени t): N = A . L? . K? . e?t, где p — параметр, характеризующий темп технического развития на разных его временных этапах, e — основание натуральных логарифмов, t — время (другие обозначения см. в ст. Кобба — Дугласа функция). См. также Научно-техническое комплексное прогнозирование, Технологический уклад, Технологическое прогнозирование. Рис. Н.2 Типы технического прогресса

1. Bill Gates, The Software King

Most of the computers in the world use software invented by Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft Inc. of Redmond, Wash. Software is the set of programs that make computers – whether business or personal – perform various tasks.

Gates was born in Seattle, Wash., in 1955. As a boy, he was bright and curious. He was active in Scouting, reaching Life Scout rank in Troop 186. He especially loved hiking, camping and other outdoor adventures.

But Gates was obsessed with computers. While a student at Harvard University in 1975, Gates and a friend, Paul Allen, developed a computer language for an early version of the personal computer. Microsoft was born. Gates went on to develop operating systems, such as MS-DOS, and software programs.

Thanks to Microsoft, Gates is now one of the richest men in America. He is worth more than $8 billion.

A technical wizard and a fierce business competitor, Gates sees great things ahead for computers. He says they «are really going to change a lot of things in the world – the way we work, the way we play and entertain ourselves and even the way we are educated».

2. The Binary Number System

Early digital computers inspired by Howard Aiken’s Mark were huge, sometimes filling an entire room. That was because thousands of switches were needed to compute his binary number system.

In the binary number system, only two digits are recognized by the computer: 0 when a switch is off, and 1 when the switch is on. Different combinations of those two digits can represent thousands of letters and numbers.

The binary number system is still used in today’s computers. The difference is that the thousands of electrical switches have been replaced by one tiny, solid-state chip that does the translations electronically. That’s why your computer only fills up part of your desk, not your whole bedroom.

3. Computers in your Future

Microsoft’s Bill Gates and other computer experts saw great things ahead. They said that in the next few years, you would be able to sit at your computer and see high-quality video sent from any place on earth.

They predicted you would also have a wallet-size personal computer. With it you would be able to store photographs, pay bills, get the news, send messages, see movies and open locks with digital keys.

At home on your TV-size PC you would be able to see and talk with friends in other states, get medical advice, check magazine articles and pictures in a far-off library and order a pizza.

A computerized control system at home would regulate your lighting, temperature and security system.

Big dreams? Are these dreams or facts? Perhaps. But engineers have done a lot to make it reality.

To perform – выполнять

Life Scout rank – пожизненный титул бойскаута

Troop – отряд

To be obsessed – быть одержимым

Operating system – система функционирования

Worth – обладающий

Fierce – неистовый

To inspire – вдохновлять

Solid-state – твердый

Wallet-size – величиной с бумажник

Security system – система безопасности

3. Актуализация знаний: активизация знаний на основе текста.

Scan the text «The Fundamentals: hardware and software» and find the equivalents of the following words: клавиатура, принтер, устройство, жёсткий диск, программное обеспечение, процессор, память, существенный, немедленно.

A computer consists of a screen, a keyboard and a boxlike case with the «brains» of the system. For most tasks you’ll also need a printer and, perhaps, a pointing device called a mouse. This equipment is called hardware.

By itself, hardware is like a cassette player without tapes. A computer needs programms, or software, which usually includes one or more computer discs and a printed instruction manual.

The price depends on the hardware’s brain power-the type of processor and the size of its memory. How much power do you need? That depends of the software you’ll use. In general, words and numbers demand less from a computer than pictures and sound.

Sufficient power is important because a computer works in iteratively. With hardware that isn’t up to the job, you might have to wait 30 seconds for an on-screen the saurus to lookup a word. But with the right system then try would appear instantly.

Exercise 1.
Listen to the texts and answer the question «What is the computer of the future like as scientists predict?»

Wearable
Computers

If you are hooked* on the computer and can’t tear* yourself from it, don’t worry. be able to wear it on your wrist,* in your glasses and even in your earings. The first wearable computers are already on sale though they are probably a bit bulgy* right now. Don’t be surprised if in a few years you’ll be putting on your socks and your computer each morning before go into work. Of course, you might not even have to leave the house. Scientists predict that in the future most of us will work from home.

wearable -пригодный для носки, носимый на себе

behooked on — быть привязанным к чему-либо, не представлять себе жизни без чего-либо

tear – оторваться, отвлечься

wrist – запястье

bulgy – громоздкий

6. Listen to the text and prove the quotation «Computers have entirely entered our life».

Some scientists say that without the computer the 21st century would be impossible. Computers today are running our factories, planning our cities, teaching our children and forecasting our future. The computer solves in seconds the problems a generation of mathematicians would need months or years to solve without its help. The degree to which computers will take over human functions may frighten some people and astonish* others. Computers, like the telephone or electricity, have become a common thing of everyday life used by almost everybody.They have entered our home life. They help to make up a person’s shopping list, remind someone of important appointments and anniversaries and answer the telephone. We often hear that the increasing flood of information will be one of the problems of the 21st century.

A computer may help to solve it too. In a computerized library of the future request for information will be answered instantly* and as fully as the user wants.

The invention of computers, calculating machines, capable of processing information, cardinally changed our life. The computer performs very simple actions, but its advantage is the speed it calculates at. In fact the computer performs hundreds of thousands of operations per second.

Computers are penetrating* all spheres of human activity, in many of them they have become indispensible,* They calculate orbits, guide spaceships and planes, calculate the targets* of economic development, play chess, help housewives to choose a menu.

It’s hard to enumerate all the uses the computer may be put to.

astonish – удивлять

instantly – немедленно

penetrate –проникать

indispensible – незаменимый

target -цель

Not a «White Elephant»

Gwen and her husband Tim live in a small town in Colorado in the USA. When Gwen was 77 years old and her husband was 84,their daughter gave the cast-off* computer and some software*. Gwen and Tim were not much interested in it and saw the gift as the proverbial* “white elephant”. Their first responses were “Don’t need one”. “Won’t use it”.I’m too old to learn”.

In spite of their protest, their daughter left the computer with them. She also told them that the computer would make it possible for them to be in communication with her when she was on duty in London with her job, as well as with their grown children who live indifferent parts of the country. She explained to them how to use the computer, but they didn’t show any interest in it.

Sometime later Gwen decided to try the computer. It was not easy. At first Gwen was afraid she would“break”the machine. She called her son-in-law and asked him some questions about using-mail. She learned the basics of computer communication sand learned to solve problems which a rise in the process of work with computer.

After three months she could sende- mail to her children, a nephew,and any one she could reach. She is now so confident*in her abilities*that she is exploring*new ways of getting information with her computer.

Gwen says:“E-mail allows me to be in touch*with people every day. It allows me to communicate regularly with my son who has health problems. I don’t have to wait a certain time of day to call. I can send and receive messages at any time”.

And Gwen has a right to brag*.When she goes to church or community social events and tells people about the computer, they are amazed*at the fact that she can learn something like that.

She has learned a little terminology and can talk to people who know something about the computer. She conquered*the technology she didn’t think she would be able to learn.

Now Gwen is planning to install*a modem*,join the Internet and explore the net.

Scientific and technical progress

The basis of
scientific and technical progress of today is new informational
technology which is very different from all the previous
technologies. Thanks to up-to-date software and robots new
informational technologies can make many processes much faster
and transmit information more quickly. It is important today
because the quantity of information grows rapidly.
New informational society has its peculiarities. Firstly, more
and more employees work in the sphere of service and
information. Secondly, more and more huge databases appear to
collect and store the information. And finally, information and
IT become goods and start playing important part in the
country»s economy.
These processes affect social structures and values.
It becomes important to learn to get new knowledge quickly and
sometimes to change your qualification. IT can first lead to
unemployment, but later create even more workplaces especially
for highly qualified professionals. While the hardest work can
be performed by robots and routine calculations by computers, in
the future people with the most creative mind and numerous fresh
ideas will get better career chances.
On one hand technology development gives more access to
professional and cultural information and leads to new forms of
individual enterprises, but on the other hand there is a danger
of total control of private life unless special laws are
enforced by the government.
Another danger is «intellectual terrorism» when computer viruses
block important programs.
There are other directions of technical and scientific progress
of today.
One of them is the development of new ecologically clean sources
of energy using sun, gravitation, winds or rain. New kind of
transports and new agricultural methods that do not harm our
nature are being developed today.
Breakthroughs in science have led to creation of artificial
viruses for new medicines and products, body organs for
transplantation and productive soils for growing vegetables and
crops. Many new materials and technologies are being used in our
everyday life.
All these innovations may have influence on our life, social
relations and globally on our Earth.
The influence can be very different: from psychological and
health problems of children who spend too much time online to an
opportunity to prevent genetic diseases for future generations.
But the most difficult problems the humanity faces are global
problems.
The first and foremost is ecological problem: pollution of air,
water and soil, exhaustion of natural resources. Renewable
natural resources such as oxygen, forests, flora and fauna do
not have enough time to regenerate. This leads to different
changes in climate and nature such as depletion of ozone layer
and other things that has not been properly studied by
scientists yet.
Other crucial problems include wars, epidemics, and demographic
problems.
The only way to solve them is to work globally and in
cooperation with other countries. And here the humanity should
find a way to use new technologies for the common good. The
solution of these problems cannot be postponed because otherwise
people will have fewer chances to survive on this planet.

Научно-технический прогресс

Сегодня в основе научного и
технического прогресса лежат новые информационные технологии(ИТ),
которые значительно отличаются от всех предыдущих технологий.
Благодаря новейшему программному обеспечению и роботам, новые ИТ
могут ускорить многие процессы и быстрее передавать информацию.
Сегодня это важно, потому что количество информации быстро
растет.
Новое информационное общество имеет свои особенности. Во-первых,
больше и больше сотрудников работают в сфере обслуживания и
информации. Во-вторых, появляется все больше огромных хранилищ
баз данных, для сбора и хранения информации. И наконец,
информация и ИТ становятся товарами и начинают играть важную
роль в экономике страны.
Эти процессы влияют на социальные структуры и ценности.
Становится важно получать быстро новые знания и иногда менять
свою квалификацию. ИТ вначале могут привести к безработице, но
затем создают даже большее число рабочих мест для
высококвалифицированных специалистов. В то время как самая
тяжелая работа может выполняться роботами, а стандартные
вычисления компьютерами, в будущем люди с самым творческим
сознанием и большим количеством свежих идей будут иметь лучшие
карьерные возможности.
С одной стороны, развитие технологий дает больше доступа к
профессиональной и культурной информации и приводит к созданию
новых форм индивидуальных предприятий, но с другой стороны, есть
опасность тотального контроля над частной жизнью, если
специальные законы не будут приняты правительством.
Другая опасность — это «интеллектуальный терроризм», когда
компьютерные вирусы блокируют важные программы.
Есть и другие направления развития научно-технического прогресса
сегодня.
Одно из них это развитие новых экологически чистых источников
энергии, используя солнце, гравитацию, ветер или дождь. Сегодня
развиваются новые виды транспорта и новые сельскохозяйственные
методы, которые не вредят природе.
Научные открытия привели к созданию искусственных вирусов для
новых лекарств и продуктов, органов для трансплантации и
производительных почв для выращивания овощей и злаков. Множество
новых материалов и технологий используются в нашей повседневной
жизни.
Все эти новшества могут иметь влияние на нашу жизнь, социальные
взаимоотношения и в мировом масштабе на нашу Землю.
Влияние может быть различным: от психологических проблем и
проблем со здоровьем у детей, которые проводят слишком много
времени в интернете до возможности предотвращать генетические
заболевания у будущих поколений.
Но самые сложные проблемы, с которыми сталкивается человечество
— это глобальные проблемы.
Первая и главная это экологическая проблема: загрязнение
воздуха, воды и почвы, истощение природных ресурсов. У
возобновляемых природных ресурсов, таких как кислород, леса,
флора и фауна не хватает вре¬мени на восстановление. Это
приводит к различным изменениям в климате и в природе, таким как
истощение озонового слоя и другим явлениям, которые еще не
достаточно изучены учеными.
Другие ключевые проблемы это войны, эпидемии и демографические
проблемы. Единственный способ решить их — работать глобально и в
сотрудничестве с другими странами. И здесь человечество должно
найти способ использовать новые технологии для общего блага.
Решение этих проблем нельзя откладывать, иначе у людей останется
меньше шансов выжить на этой планете.

Good morning! Today we are going to study new vocabulary on the topic “Scientific technical progress”. We will develop our lexical skills about dependence of modern technologies.

2.1 . Let’s start! We live in the 21 st century and can’t imagine our life without modern objects we are surrounded in our everyday life.

People’s How can we name all the things?

Application — приложение, прикладная программа

Gadget — приспособление, прибор

Unit — агрегат, прибор

How do they make your life easier?

Example 1: I can’t imagine mу life without a refrigerator. If I didn’t have it I wouldn’t be able to keep food cold and fresh and I would have to do shopping every day.

Example 2: I can’t imagine my life without an automatic washer because it is my assistant in daily work. It does the washing faster. It helps me to relax after a hard day’s work and gives me an opportunity to have more free time reading and communicating with my relatives and friends.

I find. very useful because.

I spend too much time.

If I didn’t have. I would.

And now guess the riddles! What is this? Read and guess!

A microwave oven is a cooking device that can cook or reheat food much faster than a conventional oven. Using microwave technology, water and particles within the food are heated incredibly fast, turning cold or frozen food into steaming and hot meals. Although the technology behind microwave ovens has been around for nearly seventy years, many people still believe there are some health risks associated with using this type of oven for cooking.

It is responsible for washing dishes in a restaurant, dining hall, cafeteria, or other eatery. It can scrub pots and pans, and maintain a general level of cleanliness in the kitchen. It doesn’t receive much training, and there are not many requirements to get the position.

They are telephones that provide features that are above and beyond the simple ability to make calls.They are normally understood to be small computers and not land line telephones. Over the years, the concept of them has continued to expand as hand held devices have become more sophisticated.

Look at the blackboard! Finish the sentences! (по одному к доске. В тетрадях только окончание.

Устная тема по английскому языку с переводом: Scientific and Technological Progress Scientific and Technological Progress

It»s difficult to overestimate the role of science and technology in our life. They accelerate the development of civilization and help us in our co-operation with nature.

Scientists investigate the laws of the universe, discover the secrets of nature, and apply their knowledge in practice improving the life of people. Let»s compare our life nowadays with the life of people at the beginning of the 20th century. It has changed beyond recognition. Our ancestors hadn»t the slightest idea of the trivial things created by the scientific progress that we use in our every day life. I mean refrigerators, TV sets, computers, microwave ovens, radio telephones, what not.

They would seem miracles to them that made our life easy, comfortable and pleasant. On the other hand, the great inventions of the beginning of the 20th century, I mean radio, airplanes, combustion and jet engines have become usual things and we can»t imagine our life without them. A century is a long period for scientific and technological progress, as it»s rather rapid. Millions of investigations the endless number of outstanding discoveries have been made. Our century has had several names that were connected with a certain era in science and technology. At first it was called the atomic age due to the discovery of the splitting of the atom. Then it became the age of the conquest of space when for the first time in the history of mankind a man overcame the gravity and entered the Universe. And now we live in the information era when the computer network embraces the globe and connects not only the countries and space stations but a lot of people all over the world. All these things prove the power and the greatest progressive role of science in our life.

Why I hate smartphones

First of all, very few teenagers really need a smartphone. If you need to call your friend or use the internet, a normal mobile phone or computer is good enough. A smartphone is a status symbol. Teenagers like being seen with one- they think it makes them look important and successful. It is also very fashionable nowadays. People buy them, in the same way as they buy the latest trainers or jeans, and very often don’t use most of the functions.

In addition, teenagers can waste a lot of time and money on smartphones instead of doing more interesting and healthy things like sport. As well as this, it can actually be dangerous in some situations to use a smartphone, even when just walking about with one. According to the police, a lot of accidents happen when people concentrate on their smartphones and don’t notice what is happening around them. Also, teenagers often get their expensive smartphones stolen.

1. If the article did not have the title, would it be clear from the text that the author really hates smartphones? Why?

2. Do these paragraphs sound more like somebody’ opinion or like an argument against smartphones?

3. Imagine that this is not a magazine article, but an opinion essay with the question “Smartphones are becoming very popular with young people. Is a smartphone the gadget every teenager should have? What is your opinion?”

Do you think these paragraphs would get a good mark? What is missed in them?

4. How can you make this text sound like an opinion essay? Rewrite part A or B so that it sounds like your opinion. Use the functional phrases.

In my opinion/view I think/believe that

I don’t think It seems to me that

I’m sure that

Example: First of all, I don’t think that teenagers really need a smartphone…

5. Home task: Write an answer agreeing with the question “Smartphones are becoming very popular with young people. Is a smartphone the gadget every teenager should have? What is your opinion?”

T a p e s c r i p t:

What do уоu use the coтputer for?

Mainly for word processing (but not writing, which I still do with а реn), keeping track of my life, searching for information from the Intenet for writing purposes оr for travel. When I travel to а рlасе I don’t know — for ехаmрlе Russia оr Canada – I look at Encarta оn CD-ROM, and when I’m going to travel to а рlасе like Krasnoyarsk, I print off the mар of the аrеа where I’m going.

Does t/te coтputer save tiтe?

I used to think the PC’s main purpose in our lives was to reduce the time it took to get things done so that реорlе could enjoy other hobbies — skiing, for ехаmрlе. I don’t think that’s so аnуmоrе.

We’ve bесоmе more intimate with our PCs. Starting with e-mail, we began having online relationships with реорlе we had nеvеr heard of оr hardly know. Then, а lot of us bought а РС for home and began using it just for fun. And реорlе started to spend hours online chatting with strangers. The РС is becoming аn integral part of our private and professional lives I should s

Ноw did уоu start using а РС?

I hadn’t used computers until 1983. It was а small thing produced here in England, plugged into the ТV. And it nеvеr worked. I packed it in its original bох and nеvеr used it again. Then I went to work in Hong Kong and bought а pirated IВM сору. That was а huge thing that didn’t work either, but it was ОК as а word-processor. Then I went to Japan and was given а Macintosh bу the соmраnу I worked for. And that was what got me rеаllу interested because the· Macintosh is very user-friendly.

Нas your life changed since уоu started using the РС?

Yes, my eyes have got worse.

Оп а desert island, would уоu prefer а huтan or а coтputer for сотрапу?

Depends оn the human! Forced to choose, I would take the cjmputer as long as it had а modem and а line to the outside world.
