IX. Render the following text into English: Научно-технический прогресс и его влияние на нашу жизнь
Любое изобретение или открытие, сделанное учеными, предназначено для того, чтобы улучшить нашу жизнь и расширить границы человеческих знаний. Оно может быть выведено путем умозаключений или быть случайным. Примером открытия первого типа является изобретение молниеотвода Бенжамином Франклином, а примером второго – открытие рентгеновских лучей Вильгельмом Рентгеном. Такие открытия, как пенициллин, радар, искусственные подсластители (заменители сахара), тефлон, жевательная резинка, называют «счастливой случайностью», потому что ученые проводили исследования в одной области и случайно открывали вещество или прибор, который оказывался очень полезным. Сейчас трудно приписать открытие одному человеку. Это результат работы группы ученых и даже целых научно-исследовательских институтов. Современные передовые области исследований – нанотехнологии, трансплантология, электронные коммуникации, аэродинамика (уменьшение колебаний высотных сооружений), самоуправляемые машины и приборы, фармакология.
