EXERCISE 01READ

With the discovery of the steam machine the first great step was taken when

Joseph Cugnot in 1769, presented his invention a car impelled by a steam

machine. The age of cars began in 1862 when a Frenchman called Etienne

Lenior invented a machine that worked with the mixtured of air and fuel.

The process of the development of the cars was formed with the invention of a

rubber tire made by Dunlop in 1890. Bosh discovered the spark plug this gave

bigger power to the motor. The north American Henry Ford was able to

increase the speed of the cars, improved the external form and he began to

produce a cheap car, de model T. at the beginning only rich people could buy

this car, but then he introduced the mass production that reduced the cost.

The German Engineer Rudolf Diesel in 1897 invented a diesel motor, this

motor had bigger power and it was used in heavy vehicles. Today there are

more than 500 million cars in the world and over 50 million are produced each

year worldwide.

PRINTING

The oldest known “writing” in the word is on a tablet of limestone found in

tools to make marks and symbols on the walls of caves and on rocks. Then he

used primitive paints to draw on the walls, on hides, trees bark, and pottery.

EXERCISE 07READ

For over of thousands of years the Chinese invented the abacus, little progress

was made to automate counting and mathematics. The Greeks came up with

numerous mathematical formulae and theorems, but the entire newly

discovered math had to be worked out by hand. A mathematician was often a

person who sat in the back room of a business with several others and they all

worked on the same problem.

Most of the tables of integrals, logarithms, and trigonometric values were

worked out this way, their accuracy unchecked until machines could generate

the tables in far less time and with more accuracy than a team of humans. The

computer is the result of many centuries of work, until the technology and

social needs of these last decades have made it possible.

The computer

A computer is a machine capable of doing and controlling very fast

calculations and complicated processes which requires quick decision making.

It is often called the “electronic brain” the computer is capable of verifying the

results obtained, according to the elements of control found in its structure and

programming.

The function of the computer is to handle information it receives, and to

provide required results.

A computer must be programmed by us to do what we want it to do. Once

programmed, a computer is capable of doing mechanical tasks such as read

data, compare or examine and transmit it to other machines, receive other

information, and register it all in its memory.
