12 You can read definitions of some achievements of the modern
technology. Write these achievements. The first one has been already done
for you.
This cable, with the width of a human hair, is capable of
delivering 300,000 phone calls at the same time or 150 high
quality video channels. In the future, several of these cables will
link most domestic televisions and PCs to the Internet, the
'information superhighway'. As a result, we will have access to
masses of data - text, numbers, sounds and images.

With its goggles and a data glove we will be able to see, and
move, things which exist only on a computer program.
Consequently, we'll be able to play tennis with Andre Agassi, go
on hair-raising fair rides, or play in our favourite pop group. All in
the comfort of our living room.
These are already available in some places but the image isn't
very good. Since technology is developing fast, we'll soon be
able to see a perfect image of the caller. People who don't like to
be seen unless they're looking their best shouldn't worry. They
come with a lens cover, so the caller won't be able to see them
unless they want to be seen.
In the future we will have access to 500 television channels and
in addition to this, homes will be connected to the local video
library. We will be able to call up any movie or program we want,
when we want it. Thanks to CDIs, watching films won't be a
passive experience because we will be able to choose alternative
story lines and create our own version of any film.
Young people will be able to have instant access to the best
games and collections of their favourite pop group's music. Since
they contain masses of information, we will also be able to call-up
the complete contents of the Encyclopaedia Britannica in a few
seconds. The computer won't be able to write projects or reports,
but it will make the process a lot easier.
