GadgetsГаджетыEvery house today is full of smart appliances, such washing machine, dishwasher, vacuum cleaner, microwave, stereo system, etc. These objects have drastically changed people’s lives. They made it easier to cope with household chores. It seems that new technologies govern the lives of all people on planet. It’s simply impossible to imagine modern life without labor-saving gadgets. A couple of decades ago people had no idea what smartphones or iPhones are, while today nearly everyone has one. It is undoubtedly the best communication and entertainment device. People can connect with each other everywhere they go through social network, text messaging, low-cost calls, chats rooms, etc. It is hard to stay even a day without such handy gadgets. Although, there are, of course, some disadvantages of rapid technological progress. Firstly, doctors state that all electronic gadgets are dangerous for health. For example, we spend hours I front of computer or laptop monitors, which results into eyesight deterioration, backaches and headaches. Mobile phones are also harmful to health due to their electromagnetic radiation. Secondly, all modern gadgets make us lazy and clumsy. Thus, we easily gain excessive weight. Thirdly, people have become too dependent on these gadgets. They get stressed or unconfident when they forget a mobile phone or tablet at home. In my opinion, gadgets produce addiction, which is bad for people’s mind. Nevertheless, it is hard to underestimate the role of new technologies in our life.

I'd like to tell you about Stephen Hawking. He's a famous physicist. At first he studied at Oxford. Then he began to study at Cambridge, where he became the Professor of Mathematics. He studied the theory of the origin of the world in a Big Bang. He also studied the theory of black holes.

30 years ago the doctors said he had only 2 years left to live. Soon he was paralyzed. After a serious illness he had lung problems. Later, Hawking had lost the ability to speak. Friends gave him a speech synthesizer that was installed on his wheelchair.

Now Stephen is 73 years. Despite his illness, he leads an active lifestyle. On April 26, 2007 he made a flight in weightlessness. For 2009 there was planned a space flight, which did not take place.
