PART A:
Advances in technology have changed the way we live and communicate, but no breakthrough has revolutionized life as the advent of the « wireless ». In the 1980’s, telephones were stuck to walls. , facts were found in books and people had to browse shelves in a record store if they wanted to buy the latest music. Now, access to all of that and more is found by just reaching into our pockets. With new mobile technology and wireless technologies, information has become easily accessible. In the Information Age having immediate access to data is fundamental to progress. In some cases the advances are serving to overhaul industries at a very fast pace. The internet has allowed music lovers to change the way music industry does business. Text messaging over cell phones has made written communication more immediate. How many text messages have you sent today? Having a computer in almost every home was instrumental to this massive technology change. Now, having computer access is available everywhere- well, almost everywhere. And just as computer use worldwide is exploding, the brains behind them – the processors- are getting smaller. Today, a tiny computer chip can hold huge amounts of data. We can now store tons of information in a cell phone a digital camera and have them at our disposal everywhere. When the internet age dawned, the World Wide Web looked entirely unproblematic. Today however, we face online scams and viruses

PART A:
Looking into the future
Many life-changing innovations have been made in scientific laboratories. Researchers have decoded the genetic make-up of many organisms, which led to advances in biotechnology, the science of manipulating and organism’s genetic material. DNA testing and forensic science has made it extremely possible to reunite an unidentified baby with his parents after a natural disaster, for example. Amazing new technologies are changing the way crimes are investigated and solved. Scientists are making headways in biometrics, which is the science of digitizing information such as fingerprints or facial features for accurate identification
Making advances
Hybrid vehicles – those vehicles that use at least two power sources, typically gasoline and electricity will soon be on the market everywhere. The compact fluorescent light bulb is low -tech. Yet, it has revolutionized the quality of life. It is one of the most successful energy- saving devices developed to date. There are advances in everything. From banking to shopping to investing, technology and the internet are transforming the way we conduct our global banking and financing. Bank customers can see everything from their checking account and savings account to home mortgages and credit cards. Now they can do all of that 24 hours a day, seven days a week from their own homes. Breakthroughs in defense technology changed the face of warfare. Smart bombs are guided to their targets by satellites. Robots are used to disarm bombs. Laser technology is applied in medicine and CD and DVD recording and playback. In space exploration, unmanned spacecraft have landed on Mars. The sky’s the limit for new technology industries!!

درس Letter of complaint :writing
رسالة تشكي حول شيء اشتريته ووجدت به خلل
Dear Sir or Madam,
On 23 d of April this year I bought an HP pentuim4 computer with the serial 410 workstation at your computer store
Unfortunately, your computer has not performed well because it keeps shutting itself down and the keyboard remains inactive. I am disappointed because the product does not work properly
To resolve the problem, I would appreciate that you send someone to help repair the above mentioned computer or else be sent my money back. Enclosed are copies of the guarantee, as well as the computer bill price
I look forward to your reply and a resolution to my problem, and will wait until the end of this week before seeking help from a consumer protection agency or the Better Business Bureau. Please contact me at the above address or by phone at home
Sincerely,
Your name
