This is an AMAZING time to be alive!
Most of you were born after 1988 or 1989 – right in the midst of the greatest technological revolution in history! (史上最伟大的科技改革) In your lifetime science has made some amazing breakthroughs, in every facet of life – how we live, how we work, how we play and relax. At the same time at the time of your birth many of the technologies we now take for granted were evolving – which means that some of these products share their “infancy” with your infancy.
You will be surprised to learn that many of these ideas had been around for many years – long before they were available in the market place.
You might also be surprised to see how much things have changed in just 25 or 30 years! For example, compare what mobile phones and computers looked like 20 years ago (The DynaTAC phone design didn’t change much until the middle of the 1990s), compared to now.
In Unit 10, this week, you will talk about inventions and technology that have changed our lives, and made it more convenient to do the things we enjoy, like listening to music, watching movies, and talking on the phone. YOUR TASK will be to READ THROUGH the information here, make notes, and then make a speech tell the details about what you read.
