Text 4 (A). 20
th
Century. Summing up…
Technology has made modern society possible. It has added to leisure time
and reduced the long hours of work. Technology can allow the world feed
itself. It has reduced the effects of natural catastrophes. The world is now a
smaller place where people can communicate with each other and travel rapidly
everywhere.
The establishment of the assembly line by Henry Ford in 1913 made
automobiles inexpensive enough. Technology has raised the standard of living.
The 20
th
century has become the century of many inventions. New materials
(e. g. synthetic rubber, artificial fabrics and plastics) have affected the ways of
life and fashion.
Electronics was ushered in when Marconi sent the first transatlantic radio
message in1901. Radio and television changed communications and
entertainment habits. In 1948 the transistor was invented, and the era of modern
computers was started.
In 1957 the Space Age began, when the first Earth-orbiting satellite – Sputnik
– was launched by the Soviet Union.
Medical technology was expanded by the use of new medicines and new
equipment. New technologies in biology led to genetic engineering, in which
living cells can be altered. In 1996 a lamb called Dolly has become the first
large animal? which was cloned from the genetic material extracted from the
adult cell.
Technology keeps advancing at a rapid rate. It can only be guessed what
the “information revolution” of the late 20
th
century will bring about.
