2. Science and technology
(наука и техника)

Nothing has changed our lives more than science. Without it we would have no up-to-date means of transportation, no medicines, no communication systems, no industries, no modern clothing, no civilisation!

It's common knowledge that ancient Greeks did much to contribute to the cause of science. Among great Greek scientists one should mention Hippocrates who is considered the father of modern medicine; Pythagoras, Aristotle and Ptolemy worked out theories of logic and mathematics. Archimedes and Euclid are famous for their work in mathematics and physics, they also developed the fundamentals of geometry. Since ancient times science has made tremendous progress and now we may speak about space-travel, heart transplants, artificial intellect, lasers and so on. People have always been curious. They have always felt the need to explore, to move forward. Some aspects of modern science are harmful. Others are miracles.

Science and progress are linked with the development of the printing process. The invention of printing machine marked a new stage of scientific development.

A few decades ago people didn't ever hear of computers, and today we can’t even imagine life without them. We are already in the society in which computers are widely available to anyone. They can be used today for practically anything from children's game to space travel. How can a computer help business? A computer is invaluable aid whether your job involves finance, correspondence, record keeping or planning. Computers have a variety of different uses. You can use a system to calculate the wages of the employees, to store all sorts of information, and keep accounts. The benefit of using a computer is in its speed, reliability and capacity for storing large quantities of data.

It is now believed that we use only 1% of our brains full potential. How do we learn languages? We still do not know exactly how this is done. One thing is evident: as long as the brain is given plenty of exercise it keeps its power, the more work we give our brains, the more work they are able to do.

The more science and technology develop, the more wonderful facts the scientists learn about nature. There are a lot of things for the scientists to find out and solve!
