С АНГЛ. Technological Progress and Science At present in the modern world of rapid technological progress we can still find positive moments, in spite of many people’s fear about the possible danger that technological progress could cause. We can name a lot of things being useful in our everyday life. And yet we may think of many more possible and impossible inventions we would like to have. Oscar Wilde once said: “The more we have, the more we want”. Sometimes we call the times we live in as the age of the atomic age, or space age, or the electronic age, but what stands out most of all is that is an age of change. All of us are a link in the chain of universal human progress. There’s no end to permanent search of something new or just more comfortable that would make our lives better than before. It is television that has been called man’s ”third eye”. One can’t help mentioning about some amazing achievements in modern technology such as video card, scanner, printer, digital camera, Skype, face time, electronic mail (e-mail) and others. Electronic mail is a way of sending messages between computers, as we do. Why do we need all this? We are not sure if we really do need them. But we want to possess, to use something new and like children often lose interest to the things which have been used for many years.
