"To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old
questions from a new angle, requires creative
imagination and marks real advance".
"Imagination is more important than knowledge".
Albert Einstein
To invent is to see anew.
An invention is a new composition, device,

breakthroughs. Inventions can extend the
boundaries of human knowledge or
experience.

Listening comprehension
• Inventions
The way of life of a modern person is completely different from
the way of a person’s life of the19th and early 20th century.
Life has changed gradually — from year to year.
The invention of electricity became one of the earliest.
After it the steam engine was invented and on boundless spaces
of the earth the railroads were stretched.
With the invention of television in the 1920′s the world has
changed completely and irrevocably.
Of course, the cars, the airplanes, the cameras, the phones are the
great and unsurpassed achievements.
But I would like to mention the invention that has ravaged the
world for the second time.
Inventions
It is Internet.
As for me I can’t imagine my life without it.
I meet my friends in the social networks, I receive a large
assistance in my college tasks from it and, of course, thanks to
Internet, I can learn foreign languages listening native speakers
from my home.
For somebody Internet has replaced television.
Now people have a connection to the Internet from the various
sources.
It may be a telephone, a computer, a TV-set, a portable game
console and even a refrigerator.
So, some people get news using the computer, the telephone or the
other gadget, not the TV-set.
The development by Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee of «World
Wide Web» in the 90th years of the 20th century undoubtedly was
the beginning of a new era in the life of the mankind — the era of
high-speed information.
