Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
1982 was the year of information technology (IT) in Great Britain. But what exactly is IT? 85% of people polled recently
had not a clue what it meant, although 53% of those polled said they thought it sounded pretty important. They were
right. It is. So what is it? Well, put simply, it is the “marrying-up” of products from several key industries: computers,
telephones, television, satellites. It means using micro- electronics, telecommunication networks, and fiber optics to help
produce, store, obtain and send information by way of words, numbers, pictures and sound more quickly and efficiently
than ever before.
The impact IT is having and is going to have on our lives and work is tremendous. It is already linking the skills of the
space industry with those of cable television so programmes can be beamed directly into our homes from all over the
world. Armies of “steel collar” workers, the robots, will soon be working in factories doing the boring, complex and
unpleasant jobs which are at present still done by man. Television will also be used to enable customers to shop from the
comfort of their homes by simply ordering via the TV screen, payment being made by direct debit of their credit cards.
Home banking and the automatic booking of tickets will also be done through the television screen. Cable television which
in many countries now gives a choice of dozens of channels will soon be used to protect our homes by operating burglar
and fire alarms linked to police and fire stations. Computers will run our homes, controlling the heating, air conditioning
and cooking systems while robots will cope with the housework. The friendly postman will be a thing of the past as the
postal service and letters disappear with the electronic mail received via view-data screens.
All these things are coming very fast and their effects will be as far-reaching as those of the industrial revolution. InfoTech
is part of the technological revolution and that is with us now.
