Task 7. Read the article and look at the statements below it. Write Yes if the statement agrees with
the opinion in the text and No if it contradicts them. COMPUTER AND TECHONOLOGY
Has the present lived up to the expectations of the past? Throughout the ages people have tried to
predict what life in the twenty-first century would be like. Many science-fiction writers did manage to
predict the influence of the computer would have on our world. Some even imagined that it would take
over our lives, develop a personality, and turn on its creators.
To some extent they were right, especially when it comes to children and cyber addiction. One
constant prediction was that, thanks to computers and machines, the time devoted to labour would
diminish. Even in 1971, in his book Future Shock, Alvin Toffler envisaged a society awash with 'free
time'. The author noted that time at work had been cut in half since the turn of the previous century and
wrongly speculated that it would be cut in half again by 2000.
However, our gadget-filled homes are a tribute to the various visions of the future: the microwave
oven, internet fridges with ice-cube dispensers, freezers, video monitors, climate control, dishwashers,
washing machines, personal computers, wireless connections and cupboards full of instant food. These
may no longer be considered cutting-edge but they have matched, if not surpassed, visions of how we
would live. The domestic robot never quite happened, but if you can phone ahead to set the heating and
use a remote control to operate the garage door, they may as well be redundant.
The car, of course, has failed to live up to our expectations. It has been given turbo engines, DVD
players and automatic windows, but its tyres stick stubbornly to the road. Why doesn't it take off? The
past promised us a flying car in various guises. In 1947 a prototype circled San Diego for more than an
hour but later crashed in the desert. Some 30 patents for flying cars were registered in the US patent
office last century but none of these ideas has been transformed into a commercially available vehicle.
At least communication technology in this digital age hasn't let us down. Even in the most remote
areas people have access to some form of communication device. The introduction of the telephone last
century changed our world, but today's mobile phones and the virtual world of the Internet have revolutionised it.
Question 26: A modern problem proves that computers are dominating our lives in some way.
Question 27: Alan Toffler's predictions have been proven true.
Question 28: Household gadgets today have been a disappointment.
Question 29: We have enough gadgets now to make robots unnecessary in the home.
Question 30: Today's cars have fulfilled all predictions.
Question 31: The mobile phone and the Internet have changed our world for the better.
