Radiophysics. Халюшева Г.Р. - 41 стр.

wide electronics industry was pouring out millions of parts of radio and television receivers and instruments for every
branch of science and technology–instruments capable of unprecedented speed and sensitivity.
          Electronic devices give immense extension to our senses. One can now examine structures too small to be visible
in even the most powerful optical microscope and receive signals from radio stars which started their long journey through
space ages before here was any life on our planet. Electronics combined with rocketry has enabled scientists to take close–
up pictures of the moon and made it possible for men to land on it. Electronics applied to medecine has already produced
significant advances in diagnosis and treatment.
          In industry, electronics plays the leading role in automation which is generating a second industrial revolution of
wider social significance than the first.
          In the home electronically controlled appliances will replace domestic drudgery and in the office electronic data
processing machines will replace mental drudgery.
          The increased leisure which will result in the electronic revolution will create problems for society but it will also
enrich and extend human culture and provide opportunity for the enjoyment of the vastly increased facilities for social and
cultural interchanges which electronics will make possible.
