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.

1. 
   It is not hard to repair modern technology.
   
2. 
   The short life of modern technology is bad for the environment.
   
3. 
   Companies want customers to buy the newest models.
   
4. 
   Companies that make some products choose to give them short lives.
   
5. 
   There are no any examples of technologies that have improved, but are now more expensive.
   
6. 
   There are two kinds of technology that have become cheaper over the years.

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.

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!
