The Benefits of Modern Technology

    Modern technology has brought about enormous improvements in communications and yet many people are still very worried A22 about using the latest computer technology. I am often surprised to meet people who still don’t know what the ‘e’ in e-mail stands for and they are too A23 embarrassed to ask. They assume you have to be skilled A24 in computers to send a message via e-mail but in fact it is the simplest thing in the world.

    It is also cheaper to send an e-mail message than to send an ordinary letter or a ‘snail’ message which also takes much longer. An e-mail message is only A25 slightly more expensive than a local telephone call to send; on top of the call itself you also have to pay a fee to your ‘server’. If you send a letter by A26 first-class mail it will take a couple of days to get there whereas an e-mail will not take longer than a few seconds.

    Once you become A27 accustomed to using the system you will be amazed at how much more A28 efficient it is than other means of communication. Of course, before you have access to e-mail, you will need a fairly powerful computer, which can be quite expensive.

Modern technologies are developing slowly ответы на вопросы по английскому языку 8 класс

If I had to choose only one device from mobile phone, computer or fridge for using I would choose a computer. I can explain why.

Firstly, I can use it for calling people through the Internet as well as mobile phone. Secondly, I can find any information I need and use computer for spending leisure time. For example, I can read a book, watch a film, play games or listen to music. Thirdly, I can buy all necessary things in online shops. It is really comfortable, because there is a huge assortment of things and it is easy to find what you need in these shops. Moreover, I can order different fresh food which will be delivered to my house for a short time.

To sum up, I would choose a computer as the most necessary device. Of course, it has one meaningful disadvantage. I will not be able to take computer everywhere because of its size. However, I think it is not so important, because only computer let me do much work using different programs. Mobile phone and fridge don’t have such possibilities.

Если бы я должен был выбрать только одно устройство из мобильного телефона, компьютера или холодильника для использования, я бы выбрал компьютер. Я могу пояснить почему.

Во-первых, я могу использовать его для звонок людям через интернет так же, как и мобильный телефон. Во-вторых, я могу найти любую информацию, которая мне нужна и использовать компьютер для проведения досуга. Например, я могу прочитать книгу, посмотреть фильм, поиграть в игры или послушать музыку. В-третьих, я могу купить все необходимые вещи в онлайн магазинах. Это действительно удобно, потому что там большой ассортимент вещей и легко найти что тебе нужно в таких магазинах. Кроме того, я могу заказать различную свежую еду, которая будет доставлена в мой дом за короткое время.

Таким образом, я бы выбрал компьютер как самое необходимое устройство. Конечно, он имеет один значимый недостаток. Я не смогу взять его куда угодно из за его размера. Однако, я думаю это не очень важно, так как только компьютер позволяет мне сделать много работы, используя разные программы. Мобильный телефон и холодильник не имеют таких возможностей.

Решение #2

Nowadays technical devices such as computers, phones, laptops, i-Pods, digital tape recorders and many other things are becoming a vital part of our life. Everyone needs these inventions because they have revolutionized the world and significantly changed our life to the better. As for me, if I had to choose between a computer, a mobile phone and a refrigerator, I would definitely choose the second option. The point is that I can do without a fridge as I live next to the large supermarket. So I can buy fresh food whenever I want. Also I can imagine living without a computer. This device is extremely expensive and unhandy. I suppose the most useful modern device is a mobile phone. To begin with, it gives me an opportunity to be reachable at any time and in any place. That’s why I always keep in touch with my relatives and friends. In addition, it’s a good source of entertainment.) I can play games, watch videos, listen to music, take photos. What is more, my phone helps me study. With its help I can access the Internet where I find much informative facts, reports, useful hints that is necessary for broadening my mind and doing my homework. Finally, mobile phones save our time and money. Everybody can afford this device because there are a lot of cheap and simple in using cell-phones in the shops. Last but not least, a mobile phone is undoubtedly important when we are running late or in emergency. This tool is irreplaceable to me.

В наше время технические устройства, такие как компьютеры, телефоны, ноутбуки, айподы, цифровые магнитофоны и много других вещей становятся насущной частью нашей жизни. Всем нужны эти изобретения, потому что они коренным образом изменили мир и значительно изменили нашу жизнь к лучшему. Что касается меня, если бы я должна была выбрать между компьютером, мобильным телефоном и холодильником, я определенно выбрала бы второй вариант. Дело в том, что я могу обойтись без холодильника, поскольку я живу рядом с крупным супермаркетом. Таким образом, я могу купить свежие продукты каждый раз, когда я хочу. Также я могу представить себе жизнь без компьютера. Это устройство чрезвычайно дорогое и неудобное. Я предполагаю, что самое полезное современное устройство — мобильный телефон. Во-первых, он дает мне возможность быть доступной в любое время и в любом месте. Поэтому я всегда поддерживаю контакт со своими родственниками и друзьями. Кроме того, это) хороший источник развлечения. Я могу играть в игры, смотреть видеофильмы, слушать музыку, делать фотографии. К тому же, мой телефон помогает мне учиться. С его помощью я могу получить доступ к Интернету, где я нахожу много информативных фактов, рефератов, полезных советов, что необходимо для расширения моего кругозора и выполнения домашней работы. В конце концов, мобильные телефоны экономят наше время и деньги. Все могут предоставить себе это устройство, потому что есть много дешевых и простых в использовании сотовых телефонов в магазинах. Наконец, что не менее важно, мобильный телефон, несомненно, важен, когда мы опаздываем или находимся в чрезвычайной ситуации. Этот прибор незаменим для меня.

Решение #3

I think that nowadays technology has а very strong impact on our society. We use everyday new technologies. It’s very important to understand all the importance of our technologies. For example, with the help of computer we all can communicate with each other, find any information in the Internet and so on. With the help of mobile phones we can call each other, even being not at home! Also today’s technologies are very advanced, so now mobile phone is not only used for calling, but also as a gadget for Internet and other computer operations. With the help of fridge we can save our products. It doesn’t give them become rot. The temperature in the fridge is very low, that’s why it saves all the useful properties of products.

I think I’ll choose the fridge, if I could use only one thing. It is more necessary I guess, than other devices.

Я думаю, что в наши дни технология имеет очень сильное влияние на наше общество. Мы используем каждый день новые технологии. Очень важно понимать всю значимость технологий. Например, с помощью компьютера мы можем общаться друг с другом, находить любую информацию в Интернете и т. д. C помощью телефонов мы можем звонить друг другу, даже не находясь дома! Также сегодняшние технологии очень продвинутые, поэтому теперь даже мобильный телефон используется не только для звонков, но также как гаджет для выхода в Интернет и других компьютерных операций. C помощью холодильника мы можем сохранить наши продукты. Он не дает им сгнить. Температура в холодильнике очень низкая, вот почему он сохраняет полезные свойства продуктов.

Я думаю, что я бы выбрал холодильник, если я мог бы использовать только одну вещь. Он больше необходим, я так думаю, чем другие устройства.

Решение #4

Nowadays there are so many different appliances. Each device is important. New technologies are developing very quickly. Each month, new models of phones, computers, TV sets, refrigerators etc are available. People are not live without these devices. Many people are attached to devices.

A computer, a mobile phone or a fridge? I do not know what to choose. I think I would choose the computer, because it functioned much. With a computer you can know the world news, communicate with friends and family, use different programs to work, learn languages and various sciences, play games, read books online and make purchases on the internet. Modern technologies are not stand still. Computers are used in areas such as medicine, physics, aerospace, education and many others.

Everyday computers help us in the many areas and I believe that will be much more places in our life for computers in the future. Very interesting what computers will be in the future.

Решение #5

Nowadays, modern people can not imagine my life without technology. Each person needs in many devices. It is hard to imagine that I am have not a some device. So, if I had to use only one device, then I would choose the computer. Because my computer now for me is most needed. With it, I quickly find necessary information, doing some homework and just relax.

In addition, with the help of modern computer programs, we can call your friends and family. So, the computer can replace the phone. Although it should be noted that the phone is more portable than a computer and phone can take in any place.

Of course, with a refrigerator is more complicated. Unfortunately the computer does not have a program for freezing food) ) But when you choose between a refrigerator and a computer, I choose the computer. Because I can eat, for example, in a cafe or order a meal at home.

In conclusion, I want to say that I would never want to make a choice between these devices. Because each of these is the achievement of scientists, which should make people’s lives better and more comfortable.

Решение #6

When I had to think what subject to choose, frankly speaking I got confused. It is so because in the modern world such like subjects play an imminent role people’s lives.

Nowadays a computer is in every family. It helps to communicate with people by Skype, get necessary information, be informed, watch favourite movies and download music. Though in the last decade there appeared to be new high technology mobile phones that have the same options. So the computers have become replacable in some ways.

A fridge is necessary to keep food fresh in. All the people know how important it is now to stay healthy and not to eat fast — food. Though some of them neglect that and get problems with their health.

It I some day had to choose one of these subjects I’d use a mobile phone to get with my beloved parents or friends who have a fridge and a computer.

Решение #7

In our century of great technological progress, we begin being depent from different new things and gadjets. And I think, not every person can answer, which of things, used in daily life are more important. As for me, if I could use only fridge, mobile phone, or computer I think, I’d chose the third variant

Why? Because I know other ways of keeping food, and I can communicate, using my stationary telephone, or the Internet. And with the help of computer I can learn about what’s hapening in the world without the official gossip from television, I can keep useful materials on the hard disk, I can write a book, if I want at last! That is the reason of such choise. I could use only computer to communicate and get information, instead of such a great amount of things. I can visit my friends and talk to them myself at last. I can buy food, which doesn’t need to be kept in the refrigerator but I need to get information somehow, without brainwashing from TV. That are the main arguments for my opinion.

Решение #8

That’s a really hard question for consideration, and it’s also a strange one because I wouldn’t put in one row electronic gadgets such as computer and mobile phone that meant for some projection and designing problems solving and a fridge which was created for domestic demands, particularly, for foodstuff conserving.

If it is talked about being lost and left on an uninhabited island I would pick a fridge. But I need it just if it was an exotic island with hot climate. Otherwise, I mean, at permanent cold weather, I don’t need a fridge for food storage.

If the use of one of those doesn’t mean leaving civilized comfortable life, possibly I would choose a fridge anyway, because I need to control the food not to go off. But that choice only relates to my today’s situation.

If I were a businessman, a politician, a manager of some company, or even a student, I wouldn’t be able to live without a cellphone and a computer. Those are an integral part of busy people’s life. In case they don’t have a refrigerator such people can store food at another cold place or even eat always out. That’s why, possibly, the most important thing in their life must be a mobile phone. Imagine one of the days of those. If they are hungry they can commonly have lunch at cafe. And now think about what they would do if they lost their cellular phone. That means complete chaos and horror.

I should mention again that this topic is kind of strange. I would probably get confused if I had a problem like this.

Решение #9

Nowadays people cannot imagine their life without modern technologies. Every day we use computers, cell phones, washing machines, fridges, TV-sets, MP3-players, electronic books, etc.

Let’s suppose that you have to choose only one of them and forget about other things. As to me, I am accustomed to using all of them regularly, however, I would pick up a computer. At first, it is better than a mobile phone or a TV-set, because it combines the function of both. As for the fridge, it does not give me anything besides food, which I can buy in shops. That is why I would never choose it. My relaxation of and education are more important than food.

However, in my opinion, some people would not choose a computer, as they think it harms their health, makes them addicted and takes much time. Nevertheless, if you manage your time well, it will be only useful.

In conclusion, I would like to say, that I could never make up my mind in this situation, because all these devices are an important part in our life. However, some of them are vital for us, and without some of them we can easily live.

Решение #10

Nowadays there are many different inventions for better living, because today technology develops faster and faster. Such modern devices as a fridge, a computer, a mobile phone are very important today.

But which invention is the most necessary for modern man? Unfortunately, I can not choose one of these things because I can’t do without them. For example, in a fridge can store food. Talking about computer and mobile phone), almost every family own one now. Though it has both advantages and disadvantages. With phone we can call any person wherever he is, for example, to connect with your relatives or friends. But a phone has it’s waves those affect human body. With the help of a computer we can communicate with our friends, order meals, listening to music, watch movies, find important information and many other things. On-line games are very popular with teenagers nowadays and they play them so much that they get a dependence on them.

Решение #11

Tecnologies develop very quickly and nowadays we can not imagine our life without modern appliances. How did our parents live without computers, mobile phones, TV. Our parents did not use the Internet when they did their homework!

A fridge is very comfortable home appliance, because it can keep our products and they will not be addle for a long time. With fridge we can save our money and time, because we should not go to shop every day.

Mobile phone is appliance, without which can not live almost everyone. With phone we can call any person wherever he is.

Computer is very important appliance in our life too. Of course, if it is with the Internet. The Internet is necessary for almost everyone. It is used by working people, for example, to send by e-mail some reporting, by students to do reports or any homework without visiting a library. The Internet is way of entertainment. You can play different on-line games or play games on a computer. The Internet is comfortable way of communication. People can maintain relationships if they did not meet for a long time.

Решение #12

Nowadays there are a lot of technologies which have been invented to improve our life. Technologies have been developing rather intensive lately. Just think, our parents were not able to communicate to each other by using, for example, mobile phones. They also couldn’t use the Internet because they didn’t have computers. However our generation does have a lot of appliances such as a fridge, a mobile phone or a computer.

It goes without saying, fridges are very comfortable for us, because they can keep our products for a long of time. As a result we don’t waste our money and time. Mobile phones make us more accessible, they help us to link with people who are far away from our place. As for computers, they give us a lot of necessary information that can be very important especially for pupils and students. Using a computer we can communicate with people from different cities or even countries. There are very many social networks and other useful sites where we can not only talk to our friends but also develop our knowledge and skills.

So if somebody asks me what I will choose I will answer: «a computer». Exactly a computer is the most useful. By the way, I’m really used to utilizing it every day, so I cannot imagine my life without my computer.

Решение #13

Unfortunately, I can not choose one of these things. A computer, a mobile phone and a fridge are very important because each of them performs necessary functions. A fridge is necessary for satisfaction of physiological requirements, but a computer and a mobile phone are necessary for satisfaction of spiritual requirements.

For example, if I got in an accident, I would have to use my mobile phone. In this case, I need not a computer or a fridge.

However, if I need get some necessary information, I use a computer or a phone, for there is Internet. Also can be such case, as I want to eat and only a fridge can helped me because only in a fridge can store food, not a computer and not a mobile phone.

Finally, I mean to say that all of those things are necessary for us. It all depends on the situation.

Решение #14

When a first thought about what appliance of these to choose I got a shock. Indeed, nowadays we can’t imagine our lives without using computers, mobile phones and fridges. As for me, I really can’t do without them!

Talking about a computer, almost every family own one now. No doubt, computers are very helpful, you can find any information you want using the Internet. But it also has disadvantages. You know, on-line games are very popular with teenagers nowadays and they play them so much that they get a dependence on them. To my mind it’s disgusting when people are fond of only virtual world but not of real one. So if I must renounce one of three things (a computer, a mobile phone or a fridge) I will renounce a computer.

Both refrigerator and mobile phone are very useful. People got the former rather long ago and since that time we can’t keep our food without it. But there are such people, who eat only fast food or a meal from restaurants. For example, a lot of students don’t prepare their meals; they buy half-finished products and just boil or fry them. However everybody knows that it’s very harmful for people heal.

It’s not a secret, now almost everybody has a phone. Though it has both advantages and disadvantages. Using you phone you can reach every person you want wherever he or she is. Besides, you can not only call but you can also text, that’s very convenient. But a phone has it’s waves those affect human body. Therefore a role of mobile phone in a person’s life may be different.

Summing up I don’t know what I would choose, probable I will select my mobile phone, but I’m not sure it would be right choice. How splendid that I don’t really need to choose!

2.Read the text and choose the correct answer.

We cannot imagine our life without the telephone. This is the first thing we take in our hands in the morning, very often use it during the day and, to be honest, the last thing we see before going to bed.

A telephone was patented in the USA in 1876 by Alexander Bell. A handset was used both to receive and send peoples’ messages. A bell was invented by Mr Watson, Mr Bell’s colleague, later in 1878. The distance of operation of this line didn’t exceed 500 meters. For a very long time, A. Bell was believed to be the inventor of the telephone. However, in 2002 the Congress of the USA credited Antonio Meucci with the right of the invention of the telephone. The thing is that Antonio had published an article about the telephone in an Italian newspaper 17 years earlier than A. Bell made his great invention. He failed to patent it because of financial problems.

The first telephones were without a direct communication line. That means that manual telephone stations could be used only with the help of operators. Only at the beginning of the 1920s, the possibility of direct connection appeared, and the disk phones were produced and used.

Nowadays cell phones or mobile phones are common because they are very convenient and quite cheap. The coverage zone is now wide and stable, allowing to make phone calls and send messages almost from everywhere. The whole cover zone is divided into «cells». The main idea of cell communication is based on the principle of honeycomb in a beehive. There are base stations and the coverage zone of each in ideal conditions looks like a circle. But because of the buildings, the shape is distorted and looks like a hexagon. The coverage zones of each base station slightly overlap each other providing a stable signal even when the user moves from one zone to another.

Communication is a very important thing in our life. The evidence of that we might find in ancient times, when not having a phone people communicated using a whistle or gong. Now we have plenty of opportunities and devices to meet all our needs.

The Benefits of Modern Technology

Modern technology has brought about enormous improvements in communications and yet many people are still very worried 32___________ using the latest computer technology. I am often surprised to meet people who still don’t know what the ‘e’ in e-mail stands for and they are too 33___________ to ask. They assume you have to be skilled 34___________ computers to send a message via e-mail but in fact it is the simplest thing in the world.

It is also cheaper to send an e-mail message than to send an ordinary letter or a ‘snail’ message which also takes much longer. An e-mail message is only 35___________ more expensive than a local telephone call to send; on top of the call itself you also have to pay a fee to your ‘server’. If you send a letter by 36___________ mail it will take a couple of days to get there whereas an e-mail will not take longer than a few seconds.

Once you become 37___________ to using the system you will be amazed at how much more 38___________ it is than other means of communication. Of course, before you have access to e-mail, you will need a fairly powerful computer, which can be quite expensive.

A. Little is known for certain about how guinea pigs were first introduced to Europe and North America as a domestic pet, but they most probably came during the 16th century. Holland, Portugal and Spain had colonies in South America, and the explorers brought to Europe gold and precious gems, along with other unusual and exciting finds. Colourful parrots became very popular status symbols in the homes of the wealthy, and with them came the guinea pig and other animals previously unknown in Europe.

Мало что наверняка известно о том, как морские свинки впервые были ввезены в Европу и Северную Америку в качестве домашнего питомца, но они, скорее всего, появились в 16-м веке. Голландия, Португалия и Испания были колониями в Южной Америке, и исследователи привезли в Европу золото и драгоценные камни, наряду с другими необычными и захватывающими находками. Красочные попугаи стали очень популярными символами статуса в домах богатых, а вместе с ними привезли морскую свинку и других животных, ранее неизвестных в Европе.

B. Many species of wild animals are in danger of complete extinction. This is usually due to loss of habitat as a result of human expansion, or it could be due to excessive hunting. A good, modern zoo has a valuable role to play in assisting with the protection of endangered species. This is both through education of the general public in the importance of conservation in general, and through breeding programmes to increase the population of endangered species in captivity and then reintroduce them into the wild.

Многие виды диких животных находятся под угрозой полного исчезновения. Это, как правило, из-за потери среды обитания в результате человеческой экспансии, или это может быть из-за чрезмерной охоты. Хороший, современный зоопарк играет ценную роль в оказании помощи в защите исчезающих видов. Это происходит как за счет образования широкой общественности в важности сохранения в целом, а также посредством программ разведения для увеличения популяции исчезающих видов в неволе, а затем вновь выпускать их в дикую природу.

C. The guinea pig is today one of the world’s most popular pets, ranking only a little way behind the rabbit. Though called guinea pigs, these animals are not pigs, nor do they come from Guinea. Why Guinea, then? Some say they could have originally changed hands at the cost of a guinea (twenty-one shillings — very expensive!). As for the “pig”, an explanation is much easier to guess — they run and squeal much as little piglets do!

Морская свинка сегодня является одним из самых популярных домашних животных в мире, лишь немного отстает от кролика. Хотя они и называются морскими свинками, эти животные не являются свиньями, и они не из Гвинеи. Почему тогда Гвинея? Некоторые говорят, что они первоначально были названы по стоимости «guinea» (двадцать один шиллинг — очень дорого). Что касается «свинка», объяснение гораздо проще угадать — они бегают и визжат как маленькие поросята!

D. Rabbits are among the most popular pets to keep due to their affectionate nature and love of cuddles. To show they are happy, they often grind their teeth softly when being petted, similar to cats purring. In general, rabbits are timid, non-aggressive and sociable with each other. With gentle handling they are generally quite tame. They are playful and entertaining to watch, but they need a great deal of interaction with their owners. Their cage should be relatively big, but they need some playtime outside it as well.

Кролики являются одними из самых популярных домашних животных, которых держат из-за их ласковой природы и любви объятий. Чтобы показать, что они счастливы, они часто скрипят зубами, когда их мягко поглаживаешь, похожие на кошачье мурлыканье. В общем, кролики пугливые, неагрессивные и общительные друг с другом. При бережном обращении они, как правило, совсем ручные. Они игривы и за ними интересно наблюдать, но они нуждаются во взаимодействии с их владельцами. Их клетка должна быть относительно большой, но им также нужно играть и за ее пределами.

E. For a long time guinea pigs were used as experimental animals. In 1890, the antitoxin for diphtheria was discovered using guinea pigs in the research, and as a result the lives of millions of children have been saved. In 1907 vitamin С was discovered due to guinea pigs. Like humans they cannot produce the vitamin and need it supplied in their diet. The guinea pig’s wide variety of hair types and colours has also made them a prime choice for studies of genetics and heredity. Later they were replaced by rats and mice.

Долгое время морских свинок использовали в качестве экспериментальных животных. В 1890 году антитоксин дифтерии был обнаружен с использованием морских свинок в исследованиях, и в результате жизни миллионов детей были спасены. В 1907 Витамин С был обнаружен из-за морских свинок. Как и люди, они не могут производить витамин и нужно, чтобы он присутствовал в их рационе. Широкое разнообразие морских свинок по типу шерсти и цвету также сделало их основным выбором для изучения генетики и наследственности. Позже они были заменены на крыс и мышей.

F. Security at Denver International Airport tries to protect cars from vandalism and theft, but there’s a new threat at its expansive parking lot. Ravenous rabbits. The animals are causing hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars in damage to cars by devouring the wires under the hood. At least 100 rabbits are removed every month, but the problem persists. The airport is surrounded by prairie, and the rabbits are seeking warmth and food in the parked vehicles.

Служба безопасности в международном аэропорту Денвера пытается защитить автомобили от вандализма и кражи, но есть новая угроза на открытой стоянке. Прожорливые кролики. Животные наносят ущерб в сотни, а иногда и тысячи долларов, в виде повреждения автомобилей, пожирая провода под капотом. По крайней мере, 100 кроликов, удаляются каждый месяц, но проблема не решена. Аэропорт окружен прерией, и кролики ищут тепло и еду в припаркованных транспортных средствах.

G. Our mission at Wild Adventures Zoo is to bring family entertainment back to Las Vegas, in an educational manner. Teaching respect for animals through hands-on applications, workshops and conservation efforts, as well as helping injured and abandoned wildlife and exotic pets, is the reason Wild Adventures Zoo was created. Our focus is on educating the public through fun and exciting activities that allow them to interact with the animals.

Наша миссия в зоопарке Уайлд Эдвенчерс принести развлечение для всей семьи обратно в Лас-Вегас, в образовательной манере. Обучение уважению к животным через практическое применение, мастерские и семинары по сохранению, а также помощь раненым и брошенным диким и экзотическим животным, это и есть причины создания зоопарка Уайлд Эдвенчерс. Наше внимание сосредоточено на просвещение общественности с помощью увлекательных и интересных мероприятий, которые позволяют им взаимодействовать с животными.

День отца
День отца отмечается уже более 100 лет. Кроме того, это событие отмечается во многих странах по всему миру, хотя в разное время года. В Северной Америке и Соединенном Королевстве, День отца празднуется в третье воскресенье июня. Вот несколько советов, которые помогут вам отметить День отца особым образом. Используйте эту возможность, чтобы собраться вместе всей семьей и повеселиться. Вы не должны оставаться дома; вы могли бы пойти на пляж, местный парк, в одно из самых любимых мест папы!
Устроить пикник в летние месяцы может быть интересным и является глотком свежего воздуха для всей семьи. Это отличный способ борьбы со скукой, но также помогает семье собраться вместе и поесть вкусной еды и поиграть в веселые игры. Не потребуется ничего больше, чем корзина для пикника и несколько продуктов питания. Среди здоровых продуктов хороших для пикника есть яблоки, арбуз, сельдерей, и изюм, вот всего несколько. Попросите у других членов семьи помочь вам выбрать некоторые из их любимых продуктов питания, которые они хотели бы иметь. Вы должны понимать, что оно действует как клей для семейных уз.
Когда дело доходит до дарения подарков на День отца, возможно, лучше держаться подальше от традиционных купленных в магазине подарков, таких как галстук и носки. У него, вероятно, все еще есть носки, подаренные в прошлом году в задней части ящика. Дорогие подарки не нужны, но время и усилия, которые вы приложили для создания персонального подарка, будут высоко оценены.

Have you ever thought about cities of the future? Clean streets, flying cars and robots doing all the work? Almost half of the world’s population currently lives in cities, and by 2050 that is predicted to increase to 75%, but what kind of city will they be living in? Today, most city dwellers are dissatisfied because they have to live in overcrowded and polluted surroundings. Traffic jams are getting worse, queues longer, power cuts more common, bad air quality more threatening to human health.
There are various ideas about how a future city should look. Some of these revolve around the idea that better means greener. Experts predict carbon-neutral cities full of electric vehicles and bike-sharing schemes, with air quality so much improved that office workers can actually open their windows for the first time. Visions of a green city often include skyscrapers where living and office space comprises high-rise green-houses and vegetables growing on the roofs. Behind such greenification of cities lies a very pressing need.
Technology companies such as IBM believe that the best cities will become networks. In Rio de Janeiro, for example, IBM has already built an operations centre, which it describes as the “nerve centre” of the city. (отрывок из текста)

Вы когда-нибудь думали о городах будущего? Чистые улицы, летающие автомобили и роботы делают всю работу? Почти половина населения земного шара в настоящее время живет в городах, и по прогнозам к 2050 году увеличится до 75%, но, в каком городе они будут жить? В настоящее время большинство городских жителей недовольны, потому что они должны жить в перенаселенной и загрязненной среде. Пробки на дорогах становятся все хуже, очереди больше, отключения электроэнергии чаще, плохое качество воздуха представляет более серьезную угрозу для здоровья человека.
Есть различные идеи о том, как будущий город должен выглядеть. Некоторые из них вращаются вокруг идеи о том, что лучшее означает зеленее. Эксперты прогнозируют углерод-нейтральные города, полные электрических транспортных средств и схем движения велосипедистов, с качеством воздуха настолько улучшенным, что офисные работники могут фактически открыть свои окна в первый раз. Видения зеленого города часто включают в себя небоскребы, где жилые и офисные помещения включает в себя многоэтажные парники и теплицы, расположенные на крышах. За таким озеленением городов лежит очень острая необходимость.
Технологические компании, такие как IBM считают, что лучшие города станут электронными сообществами. В Рио-де-Жанейро, например, IBM уже построила центр управления, который она описывает как «нервный центр» города. Построенный изначально, чтобы помочь справиться с наводнениями, которые регулярно ставят под угрозу город, теперь он координирует 30 правительственных учреждений. Каждый человек с мобильным телефоном соединен с операционным центром. Оперативный центр отправляет сообщения на мобильные телефоны граждан и предоставляет информацию о потенциальных авариях, пробках и других обновлениях города.
Тот факт, что крупные корпорации стали настолько активно участвовать в проектировании городской инфраструктуры натолкнул критиков на вопрос, как быстро такой город может, как компьютерные системы, на которые они полагаются, стать устаревшими. Компьютеры и другие гаджеты обновляются все время, новые модели появляются два раза в год. Параллель также можно провести с офисными зданиями шестидесятых годов, которые могут быть описаны как места с низкими потолками стоящие грустные и пустые, так как передовые технологии посчитали их бесполезными.
Большинство проектов IBM обязуется привлекать сбор данных. Компания работает в тесном контакте с общественными группами, а также городскими советами. В штате Айова корпорация завершила проект, где домашним хозяйствам была предоставлена информация об их потреблении воды. Большинство быстро отреагировали и сэкономили воду при столкновении с данными. Интересно, что те, кто получил информацию о потреблении воды своих соседей, в два раза чаще вносили изменения.
Города имеют возможность предоставления чего-то для всех, только потому, и только тогда, когда они созданы всеми. Тем, кто строит города будущего, следует обратить внимание на эти советы.

The history of radio
Radio started with the discovery of “radio waves”. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves that can transmit music, speech, pictures and other data 26) invisibly through the air.
Many devices work by using electromagnetic waves, including radio, microwaves, cordless phones, remote controlled toys, television broadcasts, and more.
During the 1860s, Scottish physicist, J.C. Maxwell predicted the 27) existence of radio waves.
In 1886, German 28) scientist, H.R. Hertz demonstrated that rapid variations of electric current could be projected into space in the form of radio waves.
G. Marconi, an Italian 29) inventor, sent and received his first radio signal in Italy in 1895.
By 1899 he flashed the first 30) wireless signal across the English Channel and two years later received the letter “S”, telegraphed from England to Newfoundland.
This was the first 31) successful transatlantic radiotelegraph message.

История радио
Радио началось с открытия «радиоволн». Радиоволны представляют собой электромагнитные волны, которые могут передавать музыку, речь, изображения и другие данные незримо через воздух.
Многие устройства работают с помощью электромагнитных волн, в том числе радио, микроволновые печи, беспроводные телефоны, игрушки с дистанционным управлением, телевизионные передачи и многое другое.
В течение 1860-х годов, шотландский физик, Дж. К. Максвелл предсказал существование радиоволн.
В 1886 году, немецкий ученый, Г. Р. Герц показал, что быстрые изменения электрического тока могут быть спроецированы в космическое пространство в виде радиоволн.
Г. Маркони, итальянский изобретатель, послал и получил свой первый радиосигнал в Италии в 1895 году.
К 1899 году он отправил первый беспроводной сигнал через Ла-Манш и два года спустя получил букву «S», телеграфированную из Англии в Ньюфаундленд.
Это было первое успешное трансатлантическое радиотелеграфное сообщение.

Tests and test-takers
You don’t have to be a psychologist to guess how students are feeling during a test or an exam. Just by observing their body language you can tell whether they will pass or 32) fail.
Just before the test starts, they will often 33) tell silly things and try nervously to hide their nervousness. A little tension or stress before and during a test is normal. When the examinees get their papers, some of them will 34) smile to themselves — a sure sign they know the answers. 35) However, if they feel the exam is hard, you may hear how disappointed they are or see how annoyed they are when they frown. Some will try to glance quickly at their neighbours’ tests, and some will yawn to pretend that they are bored or tired, while, in fact, they are just waiting for the teacher to turn 36) away so that one of their mates can quietly 37) whisper the answers to them. When they finish, some will immediately dash out as if they were desperate to check their answers in their course book, while others will 38) stroll out slowly, relaxed and sure they have passed.

Тесты и тестируемые
Вам не нужно быть психологом, чтобы догадаться, как студенты чувствуют себя во время теста или экзамена. Просто наблюдая за языком их тела, вы можете сказать, сдадут они, или по терпят неудачу.
Как раз перед началом теста, они часто говорят глупые вещи и пытаются нервно скрыть свою нервозность. Небольшое напряжение или стресс до и во время теста нормально. Когда испытуемые получают свои задания, некоторые из них будут улыбаться себе — верный признак того, что они знают ответы. Тем не менее, если они чувствуют, что экзамен трудный, вы можете услышать, как они разочарованы или увидеть, как они раздражены, когда они хмурятся. Некоторые из них будут пытаться заглянуть быстро в тест своих соседей, а некоторые будут зевать, делая вид, что им скучно или они устали, в то время как, на самом деле, они просто ждут, когда учитель отвернется, чтобы один из их товарищей смог спокойно прошептать им ответы. Когда они заканчивают, некоторые из них немедленно выскакивают, словно они спешат проверить свои ответы в учебнике, в то время как другие выходят неторопливо, спокойные и уверенные, что они сдали.

A. Mary is a professional dress-maker specializing in exotic costumes. She devotes many hours to crafting mermaid tails and hand-made tops. Her professional mermaid costume includes a tail and a top. A tail is made of the finest silicone that bends naturally with movement and looks beautifully on film and in print. Out of the depths of the water her costume shines with hundreds ot pearls, crystals, and gemstones.

B. Today’s well-educated person uses about 18,000 words. Shakespeare, whose plays written for a small theatre are now performed in more countries than ever before, used over 34,000 different words, thousands of which he made up. For example: accessible, roadway, schoolboy, and watchdog. Many of his phrases have fallen into everyday use in our language today, including, “A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a horse!’’ by Richard III.

C. The Celtic division of the year was into two parts. The winter half was considered the beginning of the year, and the summer half the second part. There were two further subdivisions. so the year was finally divided into the standard four seasons. At each of these four stages, a Fire Festival was celebrated. It involved religious ceremonies, music, storytelling, and poetry. These great festivals were regarded to be the best time.

D. As symbols of respect and courage, knights turned out to be an intriguing mix of all the things that made males the best, as their education included the most effective sorts of exercises for the brain and the human body. Knight tournaments were a good way for the knights to try out the actual travails of fighting and never having to go through the pain and troubles of having to look after themselves, and of their kingdoms.

E. Were there any women pirates in Renaissance England? They were in the minority, but they were never the less there and very able. Lady Mary was a daughter of a pirate and married to a pirate. When her husband died, she recruited her castle staff and went to sea herself. Her luck ran out when she captured a German captain, who was a friend of Queen Elizabeth. So Lady Mary quit piracy … and started selling stolen goods.

F. Russia is an amazing holiday destination. It should be visited during the festival season, as it reveals the rich cultural tradition and fascinating customs of its people. While the festivals come from the Christian legacy Russia shares with Europe and America, the manner of celebration is unique. Enthusiastic travelers suggest planning a Russian holiday during the festival time and to be sure that the memories will last a lifetime!

G. Normally very fine textiles are found in graves. Obviously, the quality of clothing worn in the Middle Ages would reduce with lower ranks, but even the slaves did not wear cloth as rough as people thought in the past and some still do today. Slaves would probably wear their master’s clothes, which may have been very thin in places and not decorated. They would usually receive the underclothes to be worn as overclothes.

1. Hazardous Waste
2. Invisible Threat
3. Primary Reason
4. Possible Solutions

5. Global Destruction
6. Disastrous Growth
7. Water Shortage
8. Quick Change

A. Acid rain moves easily, affecting locations far beyond those that let out the pollution. As a result, this global pollution issue causes great debates between countries that fight over polluting each other’s environments. The problem is that acid rain, one of the most important environmental problems of all, cannot be seen. Some scientists think that human production is primarily responsible, while others cite natural causes as well.

B. Air pollution has many disastrous effects that need to be curbed. In order to accomplish this, governments, scientists and environmentalists are using or testing a variety of methods aimed at reducing pollution. There are two main types of pollution control. Input controls are usually more effective than output controls. Output controls are also more expensive, making them less desirable to tax payers and polluting industries.

C. Global warming is called the greenhouse effect because the gases that are gathering above the earth make the planet comparable to a greenhouse. By trapping heat, the greenhouse effect is warming the planet and threatening the environment. Current fears stem largely from the fact that global warming is occurring at such a rapid pace. Models are predicting that over the next century the global temperature will rise by several degrees.

D. Individuals often throw out goods without realizing that they could be dangerous for the environment. No matter where people put these materials, there is always a chance that they could find their way into the ground and eventually into our bodies. Special research is necessary to provide data on the effects of every chemical as well as to learn how combinations of these chemicals affect human health.

E. Only a few factors combine to create the problem of ozone layer depletion. The production and emission of CFCs, chlorofluorocarbons, is by far the leading cause. Many countries have called for the end of CFC production. However, those industries that do use CFCs do not want to discontinue usage of this highly valuable industrial chemical. So it’s important to make people realize the disaster CFCs cause in the stratosphere.

F. Unlike some environmental issues, rainforest depletion has fortunately received significant public and media attention. According to some estimates, 50 million acres of rain forest are cut down every year. Every year, Brazil chops down an area of forest the size of the state of Nebraska. In Indonesia, Zaire, Papua-New Guinea, Malaysia, Burma, the Philippines, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, and Venezuela, rain forests that were once great have been lost.

G. The world’s population has been booming for years. The population is now threatening to reach the stage where there are simply too many people for the planet to support. Greater populations pollute and consume more, ruining the environment and creating or intensifying a variety of problems. Also, with the food supply limited, the increase in population will make shortages in many parts of the world even worse.

On 25 October 1881, a little boy was born in Malaga, Spain. It was a difficult birth and to help him breathe, cigar smoke was blown into his nose! But despite being the youngest ever smoker, this baby grew up to be one of the 20th century’s greatest painters — Pablo Picasso.

Picasso showed his truly exceptional talent from a very young age. His first word was lapiz (Spanish for pencil) and he learned to draw before he could talk.

He was the only son in the family and very good-looking, A ____________. He hated school and often refused to go unless his doting parents allowed him to take one of his father’s pet pigeons with him!

Apart from pigeons, his great love was art, and when in 1891 his father, who was an amateur artist, got a job as a drawing teacher at a college, Pablo went with him to the college. He often watched his father painting and sometimes was allowed to help. One evening his father was painting a picture of their pigeons B ____________. He returned to find that Pablo had completed the picture, and it was so amazingly beautiful and lifelike that he gave his son his own palette and brushes and never painted again. Pablo was just 13.

From then onwards there was no stopping him. Many people realized that he was a genius but he disappointed those C ____________. He was always breaking the rules of artistic tradition and shocked the public with his strange and powerful pictures. He is probably best known for his ‘Cubist’ pictures, D ____________. His paintings of people were often made up of triangles and squares with their features in the wrong place. His work changed our ideas about art E ____________. Guernica, which he painted in 1937, records the bombing of that little Basque town during the Spanish Civil War, and is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces of modern painting.

Picasso died of heart failure during an attack of influenza in 1973. The artist created over 6,000 paintings, drawings and sculptures. Today a ‘Picasso’ costs several million pounds, F ____________.

  1. which used only simple geometric shapes
  2. so he was thoroughly spoilt
  3. which is not surprising
  4. that is why he was very hard-working
  5. when he had to leave the room
  6. who wanted him to become a traditional painter
  7. that is why to millions of people modern art means the work of Picasso

After graduating from medical school, Eugene Alford built a lucrative career as an ear, nose, and throat specialist and a facial plastic surgeon at Methodist Hospital. In the summers, he and his wife Mary, a dentist and former paediatric nurse, would join a church-sponsored medical mission to Honduras, where he operated on the needy in a rural clinic.

At home, Alford treated many prominent Houston residents, but he also waived his fee for less fortunate patients. Carolyn Thomas, for instance, went to see him with a large gauze bandage over a cavity in her face. She had been shot by her boyfriend, who had also killed her mother. The bullet had blown away Thomas’s nose, upper jaw, and right eye. Reconstruction would have cost a million dollars, but Alford, his medical team, and his hospital did it for free.

Whenever Alford needed to relax after a particularly gruelling period of work, he’d drive to his ranch in Bellville and lose himself in farm chores. He didn’t make it out there as often as he would have liked. As a plastic surgeon at Methodist Hospital, he had performed 800 operations over the previous year and was booked solid for months ahead.

So on a chilly Sunday a few days after Christmas, Alford headed out through the pine bush, intending to clear a trail for deer hunting. As he cut through underbrush in the south pasture, Alford brought the tractor to a halt in front of a dead white oak standing in his path. He nudged the trunk with the tractor’s front-end loader, expecting the tree to topple neatly to the ground. Instead the top half of the oak swayed towards him. In seconds, more than a ton of hardwood slammed down on him, crushing his spine.

Pinned to the steering wheel, Alford could barely breathe. He tried to hit the brakes, but his legs failed to respond. When he found he could move his hands, he turned off the ignition, then with great effort pulled his cell phone from his shirt pocket and called his wife on speed dial. ‘Mary,’ he gasped, ‘a tree fell on me. I’m going to die.’ ‘Don’t quit!’ she shouted. ‘We’re coming to get you!’ Alford was still conscious when his neighbours Kevin and Snuffy, alerted by Mary, hauled the tree off him. A rescue helicopter touched down minutes later, and Alford advised the paramedics on which drugs to administer to him. Then he blacked out.

He was flown to the trauma unit at Medical Centre in Houston, then quickly transferred to Methodist. The operation was successful, but the patient was still in danger. After almost two weeks in the ICU, Alford awoke, and his condition improved enough for him to be taken to a rehabilitation unit, where he began physical therapy and learned to use a wheelchair. In February 2008, six weeks after the accident, Alford returned to his 100-year-old home in Houston. At first, he was so weak that he could sit up only when strapped into a wheelchair.

Before the accident, Alford had been a solidly built six-footer and was used to being in charge. Now, entirely dependent on others, he fell into despair. ‘If it weren’t for my wife and kids, I would have killed myself,’ he says. But then the love started pouring in. Alford’s brother maintained a blog to provide updates about Alford’s recovery. Over the next three months, he received 40,000 messages from colleagues, former patients, acquaintances, even strangers. The outpouring raised his spirits. It also gave Mary a new perspective on him. For years, Alford’s schedule of 15-hour days hadn’t left him much time for her and the kids. ‘I’d just about decided you liked work more than us,’ Mary told him one day over lunch. ‘But now I realize you didn’t want to leave the hospital because there were so many folks that needed you. You couldn’t just abandon them.’

The couple refurbished their house with ramps, a wheelchair-accessible bathroom, and an elevator. They bought an extended-cab pickup truck and fitted it with a wheelchair hoist, a swivelling driver’s seat, and hand controls so Alford could drive himself.

But Alford’s goal was to make such adjustments temporary. After a month of physical therapy, he graduated from an electric to a manual wheelchair. The daily workouts built strength in his back and abdominal muscles, improving his ability to hold himself upright. Soon he was able to stand with the aid of a tubular steel frame; seated in his chair, he could now draw his legs toward his chest.

In May, Alford began the next phase of treatment. By putting a paralyzed patient through his paces, therapists hoped to grow new neuromuscular connections. After three months of this routine, Alford’s coordination had improved markedly. He felt ready to pick up a scalpel again, with the hospital’s approval. Alford still goes for four hours of rehab every morning and spends his evenings stretching and riding a motorized stationary bike to keep muscle spasms at bay. But in the hours between, he sees patients or performs surgeries — as many as five a week.

He’s eager to do more complex surgeries and plans to increase his workload. Walking remains uncertain. ‘I always tell him if I had a crystal ball, I’d be a millionaire,’ says Marcie Kern, one of his physical therapists. Still, the doctor considers himself a lucky man.

Machu Picchu

In a way, it’s wonderful that Machu Picchu can nowadays be visited on a day 32____ from Cuzco. Everyone probably should have a chance to see this remarkable place.

Like many travellers, I hoped to get a taste of Machu Picchu’s ‘lost in the clouds’ atmosphere by approaching the ruins on foot 33____ the Inca trail. I joined the obligatory tour group in Cuzco, then spent the next four days surrounded by others making the classic pilgrimage. Along the way, we crossed several breathtaking Andean passes, treading on original Inca paving stones, and passing several other fine ruins.

Our last 34____ stop was at an exquisitely beautiful site called Huinay Huayna, where dozens of impossibly steep terraces cascade into a deep green gorge backed by a high waterfall. My new-found travelling companions included five Argentines who 35____ my interest in exploring Huinay Huayna by moonlight.

The only problem was a slight difference in styles. Mine was more along the lines of silent and meditative contemplation; theirs involved a ritualistic circle chant, led by the charismatic lone male in the group whom I thereafter nicknamed the Warlock. Absenting myself from the circle that night, I made a mental note to 36____ my distance from them the next day at Machu Picchu.

Before dawn the following morning we climbed to the mountaintop Gateway of the Sun, hoping for the classic panoramic view of Machu Picchu before the tour buses arrived.

Now that we have entered the 21st
century, we cannot imagine our lives
without new machines, equipment, and
devices. Some people say that advances in
technology make our lives easier and save
our time and money, while others believe
that they have a lot of drawbacks. The

However, some people are convinced that
modern technologies have negative health,
environmental and economic effects. First of
all, technology may cause health problems,
including eye strain, obesity, and heart
problems. Secondly, waste from technology
pollutes the environment. What is more, the
use
of
new
technologies
leads
to
unemployment and job losses.

согласен с этим мнением,

Anyway, I think that technology increases
efficiency and productivity. For instance, new
equipment allows people to produce more
food and goods with less work. Besides, as
technology improves, people can receive
better medical treatment and survive many
diseases.
Additionally,
environmentally
friendly technology uses a lot of methods for
reducing the human impact on the Earth.

To sum up, technology has a significant
impact on society. Modern technology has
improved human longevity and health and
allowed

new technologies have improved many
areas of life and allowed us to live more
comfortably.

NEW! smart matching with writer

Businesses have benefitted from technology in helping them remain up-to-date and be more efficient. Technology within businesses has helped many survive competition; many businesses these days rely heavily on digital printing methods and are a major part in the functioning of these businesses. This helps with efficiency of the businesses but can also have a negative effect if the printers, etc. fail in the event of power cuts, etc. Education and communication have also benefitted largely from technological advancements.

It has sped up communication in all aspects and time is no longer a factor in communication.

Technology has made sharing and spreading of information easier and faster. Thanks to technology, education is now made easier by providing the opportunity of learning from your home allowing learners to take courses at their own pace. It has also opened education to learners with learning disabilities and in remote locations. The benefits of technology have been best utilized by healthcare. It has allowed physicians provide advice, redirect patients to resources on the internet, etc.

this is saves money as well as time by reducing the amount of times a patient has to make office visits.

There are also medical devices which allow patients to complete recoveries at home, reducing hospital stay. The technology aids the very young to the elderly, from complex birth defects to chronic illnesses. This is good but these devices are expansive and could be costly, a lot of these devices are not 100% effective and carry risks in place of you recovering fully, the old fashion ways. Society is also reaping the benefits of technology. Technology has provided convenience in both personal and business transactions. It has benefitted in personal communications, people can now communicate at a more affordable cost.

For all its good, technology has also had its bad effects on society. It has shortened attention spans and even forced large businesses to shut down, like some newspapers, etc. Although it has improved communication it is a fact that people do not interact personally with one another as they used to. There are always pros and cons to every situation but it is clear that technology has without a doubt done more good for our lives than bad. Technological benefits definitely outweigh its disadvantages and it is now something that the world relies on very much to continue to function.

The impact and advantages of technology on our lives today, can simply, not be ignored. The 21st century has been called the era of science and technology (and now data), especially with the new technology developments and advancements over the last few decades.

It’s quite fascinating.

Because the benefits of this modern technology we enjoy today may seem unbelievable, and quite unreal, at times. Our forefathers wouldn’t have believed any of this if they were told what the future holds for them and their generations.

We’re so occupied with our everyday lives that we hardly take a moment to press the pause button in our daily lives, take a step back, and think. And if we’ll actually take out a moment to do so, we’ll start to see the roles and benefits that technology has played in improving human life.

How to Build Your Business Identity on a Tight Budget

Setting up a business requires both money and time. If your hand is tight in the former, then you have to get creative. For instance, if you want to build your business identity, and a brand, on top of running your business, then the following are some budget-friendly techniques that you can implement: Design a

From the wrist smartwatch we wear to the cars we drive, technology has changed every single aspect of our lives. Here are some advantages of technology in our lives:

1. Ease of Access to Information

The World Wide Web, abbreviated as www has made the world a social village. This is because information from all around the globe is widely available on the internet.

While most of the news you get to see on social media is purely factual, one may also see image results for particular news. Not only more news is available, but all such information is also straightforward to access.

All thanks to modern technology (and computer giants like Dell, IBM, Apple, etc.).

One can get to read a book in the comfort of their bed and a cup of coffee. EBooks are available on the internet for this purpose. The modern technology has replaced radios with televisions, and now even televisions have been digitised to “LCD’s” and “LED’s”.

Efforts are underway to create more reliable sources of information. All this is possible only because of technology.

2. Saves Time

Have you ever faced navigation problems in an unfamiliar town? Yes, we all have faced such issues when we move to a new place. Be it a business trip or a vacation; modern technology allows you to enjoy your outings by helping you navigate to anywhere.

One can search for a particular place and then even pinpoint their specific destination. The application itself does rest.

It won’t even let you miss a single turn, and nowadays it even shows you the traffic situation on your route.

Here are some Time Management Activities you maybe interested to learn about.

3. Ease of Mobility

Ever imagined your life without a car or a bike? Surely not because technology has placed these things under our foot.

The importance of a vehicle can easily be judged from the fact that the distance between the United States of America and Australia is nearly 15,187 kilometres but you can travel just in 16-17 hours.

Even less than in a day and believe me, you won’t be ever regretting these 16-17 hours of your life. Airplanes, electric trains and cars which are being improvised every single day have made all this possible.

4. Better Communication Means

It is a fact that modern technology has replaced old technology. And we cannot imagine our lives without this replacement. Letters were the most common mean of communication less than a century ago, but now no one would even think of writing a letter because why prefer a parchment on a video call?

Instant messaging and sharing of photos and videos was never so easy before.

We have to accept that it’s only the use of technology, which makes it harmful otherwise nothing can beat the level of comfort in our lives because of technology.

5. Cost Efficiency

One of the main goals of technology includes making things cheaper and more affordable for people. Therefore, people see cost efficiency these days due to technology.

The machinery of great benefit is available for so less price that we cannot imagine.

More often competition takes place between two or more industries which results in even lesser prices.

6. Innovation In Many Fields

Technology has truly resulted in digitisation and modernisation in many fields. Either it is the field of medicine or farming or electronics, technology has resulted in a global revolution.

Better techniques in farming have resulted in more and healthier food. The technique of “layer farming” takes even less space and produces more food.

The better health of animals guarantees more yield of dairy and poultry products. The health sector has also benefited a lot from technology boom. Even the incurable diseases like cancer have a proper cure now.

There are so many other fields also which cannot survive without the backbone of technology.

7. Improved Banking

Less than a decade ago no one ever thought that they would be paying in bitcoins rather than dollars. Cryptocurrency has recently got viral because of its usefulness.

No one would now have to wait in the long line of banks just for paying their utility bills.

8. Better Learning Techniques

Bring some fun to your classroom. You can improve your teaching skills and integrate scientific methods to bring motivation to your students. Many software and electronic gadgets are introduced to help students with their education.

The simplest example of a calculator can amaze a person. Multiple calculations and various binary operations, the answer comes with just a click.

9. Disable-d, Are Now Able-d

Modern science and technology have now made nearly everything possible. Recently, brails which works on electronic pulses have been invented. Artificial foot, smart sticks and what not is invented.

Disabled are no more disabled. They are surely in the long run of success along with the normal ones.

10. Artificial Intelligence

The new concept of artificial intelligence is growing up fast, and it is gaining much popularity. The reason behind is that this might bring a whole new era of revolution.

No humans would have to think anymore because the possibilities are that an AI System would be able to think about how to improve it. This would give a break to the human generation and probably one of the greatest favour of modern technology on us.

Advantages of New Technology in the Workplace

The technology developments are also helping to improve work environments and lifestyles of people in the workplace. Investments in technology leads to employee motivation, well-being, high productivity and growth for businesses that take the lead in its adoption.

benefits of technology in the workplace

Working remotely

The Benefits of Technology have Come a Long Way

From our food to our education, digitisation has been done in every field possible.
