Throwaway Technology Have you ever wondered why things break down after just a few years' use and when they do it is difficult to find someone to fix them? Even if you can fix gadgets, it costs almost as much as buying a new one, so why not throw out the old one? You may be surprised to learn that this problem that we experience so often with modern technology is often planned by the companies that make it. By creating technology that stops working or wears out after a short time, technology companies encourage customers to throw away their 'old' products and buy new ones. As early as 1954 an American designer called Brooks Stevens said that it was possible to make buyers want something 'a little newer, a little better, a little sooner than necessary'. Products that do not have a very long life are nothing new. One example is the kind of light bulb which we still use in our homes and needs changing every few months. These light bulbs could last longer. Did you know that there is a light bulb in a fire station in Livermore, California that they say has been burning for over a hundred years! It is in The Guinness Book of World Records as the longest-lasting light bulb ever. Today, modern light bulbs are a little better than they used to be. They use less electricity, last a few years longer, but they cost more to buy. Although light bulbs have improved, some items, like printers still have quite a short life. Users complain that the ink runs out too quickly and the printer breaks down after a few years. Both of these effects are put into the design on purpose. Sometimes companies improve gadgets a little; for example, they may give mobile phones extra memory. However, they say that the new phone is much better than the previous model. Often the improvement is just in the way the gadget looks; it's more modern and attractive. The makers of modern technology suggest that because the latest phone is a little bit lighter, or available in a new colour, it will make our lives better. In fact, there is often not much difference between the phone we have now and the 'new improved' one. It is just the customers' wish to be in fashion that makes them throw away their old phone and buy a shiny new one. In this way, companies sell more of their products. When technology was more expensive to buy, it used to be possible to fix it. In the days when televisions and video recorders cost a lot of money, you could take them to a shop and ask an expert to repair them, which would make them last longer. Those days are gone. Today people prefer to buy a new television or DVD player when they break down since this technology has become difficult and expensive to fix. So today people buy new technology as often as they used to buy new clothes; they change their computers, their phones and printers more frequently than before. Of course, technology is developing more quickly every year, but our habit of throwing away, or even recycling, gadgets that have only worked for a short period is another huge problem for the planet. It is not hard to repair modern technology. The short life of modern technology is bad for the environment. Companies want customers to buy the newest models. Companies that make some products choose to give them short lives. There are no any examples of technologies that have improved, but are now more expensive. There are two kinds of technology that have become cheaper over the years. ВАРИАНТ 2 Задание 1. Выберите правильный вариант ответа. She often rides her ___ bike.

BIRTHDAY CARDS People send birthday greetings using cards and postcards in many cultures, it is not known when and where exactly 1_____, however it is believed that it was in England in the early nineteenth century. In those days, people sent birthday cards because they could not wish somebody a happy birthday in person. In 1840, the first postage stamp was issued in Britain and sending birthday cards became 2_____ more popular. The development of color printing processes in the 1930s also helped to increase sales of cards. Today cards are often given with a present, even when the person 3_____. In recent times, e-cards have also become popular: many people are starting to use these instead of traditional cards, as 4_____ and arrive more quickly. So will e-cards replace paper cards completely in ten or twenty years? Probably not. For 5_____ or for very formal occasions, e-cards are not appropriate and many other people simply do not have internet access. A easier, cheaper and therefore B young children and the elderly C they are free, environmentally friendly D the tradition of sending birthday cards began E delivers their wishes in person Задание 7. Прочитайте и переведите текст и определите, правдивыми или ложными являются утверждения. Where does all the free time go? Technology should mean that we have more free time, so why don't we? Changes in technology mean that work and leisure are no longer always separate. Today, it's common for people to take their office with them every evening in the form of their laptop. They get on with work at weekends, and check their email on the train to and from the office. Mobile phones mean employees are always available. As well as work taking up more of our free time in this way, technology itself sometimes means everyday activities can take longer. Machines can't always help us. Think about how long a simple telephone call to a company takes before a real person answers your question. Getting money out of the ATM is quick and easy, but you will have to stand in a long queue if you have a problem. Before modern technology, people usually worked from nine to five. Families ate meals together. Nothing interrupted them. With no Internet or electronic games and only a few television channels, they had to make their own entertainment. Today, if our screens go black for a short time, as a result of a power cut, let's say, we find it's surprisingly fun to play old-fashioned games, like board games and card games. We may even have some interesting conversations with each other. Time passes more slowly, though, than when we are busy chatting on our computers or watching our favourite shows. Without our screens, it feels as if we have more free time. Modern life allows multi-tasking like never before. Teenagers spend time on the computer doing their homework, while at the same time checking Facebook, playing music and texting their friends on their mobile. Older people may attempt something similar while cooking dinner. This seems to save time, but sometimes it means that dinner is burnt! According to Parkinson's Law, the time it takes to complete something depends on the time available. For example, an old lady may spend all morning writing and posting a birthday card. By the time she has written it, found the address, taken it to the post office, queued for a stamp and returned home, hours have passed. A busy person, on the other hand, would take a lot less time! Parkinson gave this example to show that activities take longer if you have more time. The trick then, is to imagine you have less time than you really do and use technology only when it speeds things up. In this case, the old lady should learn to email! People have less free time because computers mean there is more work. Sometimes customers still have to wait a long time. Nowadays families often get together in the evening to have a meal and entertain. Multitasking is not for those who are not young enough. Modern technology doesn’t always mean more free time. When people try to save time being superefficient they often start making mistakes. ВАРИАНТ 3 Задание 1. Выберите правильный вариант ответа. I’m going to talk to the ___ parents.

An app, short for an application, is software which is designed for a particular purpose. For example, you can download apps that help you find a taxi or a restaurant, apps to improve your photos or to make music. There are thousands to choose from, and now there is a new kind which makes use of augmented reality. This is the name for technology which mixes the digital world with the real world. Apps using this kind of technology are just catching on, thanks to a new company based in Scotland called Zappar, which recently promised to change the world with its augmented reality products. The Zappa Company has worked with big names in publishing and entertainment. The investors of Zappar have used it with printed books, magazines and greeting cards. Once you have downloaded the free Zappar app onto your tablet or mobile phone, you can bring whatever you are looking at to life with cartoon characters or exiting video content. There are also film posters that use this technology. For example, by viewing the lead penguin on the Happy Feel Two poster with your Zappar app, you can make him dance. You can also keep him on your screen so that when you point your phone at a real place, the penguin will look as if he is really there! As well as films, the technology can help advertise products too. If you point your mobile device at a magazine ad which uses this technology and shows, for example, a trainer, you will be able to lift the trainer off the page and see it from all sides, as you would if you wanted to examine it in real life. Perhaps the company's biggest success is in clothing. The Zappar T-shirts are already extremely popular. If you have downloaded the app, when you point your mobile at a friend wearing a Zappar T-shirt, the magic begins! The design on the T-shirt comes to life, famous cartoon characters seem to jump out of the T-shirt and start to perform! Or the wearer may appear to be playing the drums on his T-shirt! The head of the clothes department in one large UK supermarket agreed to sell the Zappar range, because, he said, it was an amazing invention which he expected to fly off the shelves. When my son told me he had turned his friend into a zombie, I thought he was joking, but he offered to show me. He told me to look at his friend through his mobile. His friend had his own body, but a zombie's head! So I asked him how it was done and he explained that the beanie his friend was wearing was a Zaphat. It looks like an ordinary beanie hat, the kind teenagers often wear in winter. Look at it through the Zappar app, though, and a digital mask appears over the person's face. You can turn your friend into a cartoon character, a scary monster, or even put a television over his head! Because the mask moves with the hat, it looks very realistic. My son said it was so cool that everyone wanted to try on his Zaphat. He claimed it was the best kind of dressing up and announced that he would share the photos and videos on social media. Some clothes can work with Zappar app. Zappar app costs a fortune. More people are using mobile devices than before. There is no way to make someone look like a cartoon with the Zappar app. All apps use augmented reality. The Zappar app can make articles and stories more interesting.  |
