OK, here's my new computer. As you can see, there are five main
parts. Now this large box with the slots and sliding disc carrier is the most
important part (1). It carries all the, eh, stuff that makes the computer work (2).
You can also put in (3) your own games and other things (4). Next to it there is
the thing that looks like a small television (5) so
that you
can see what the computer is doing. To the right of
that, there is the machine that lets you
make black and white or colour copies of
the documents that you create on the

thing to the left of the computer is something you can use to make copies of
your photographs or other documents onto the computer, a bit like a
photocopier (9). It’s a very useful machine, of course. Once you, eh, get it up and
running (10), you can do lots of things on it. You can create documents, play
games or get information from this fantastic thing that links computers from
around the world (11). A lot of companies and organizations have their own
special computer page (12) which you can look at, and you can transfer the
information (13) to your own computer files. Or, if you like, you can send messages
to other people with computers by using this special facility called, eh, urn,
something I can't remember (14).
Unfortunately, I can't let you use it as it stopped working (15). I think I must
have done something wrong, but I can't imagine what. I've got a typewriter you
can borrow if you like.

Technology has come a long way in the last fifty
years, and our lives have become better as a result. Or
have they?
The second half of the twentieth century saw more
