The ecosystem of the earth provide an array of free public services that are essential for the support of
civilizations. They maintain the quality of the atmosphere, provide food from the sea, manufacture and
replenish soils. Recycle wastes and nutrients, control the overwhelming majority of crop pests and disease
vectors, and so on. People have no idea how to take over these activities satisfactorily.

the land can be infinitely increased by the application of capital, labor, and science - is wrong. History has
shown that once the natural life-support system of civilization have been sufficiently damaged, they cannot

Some kinds of animals that are still around today were in existence millions of years ago during the time of

about two-and-a-half times the size of today’s animals.
Another survivor from the past is the Galapagos tortoise, whose history goes back around 200 million
years. The tortoise of today has not evolved much over the last 200 million years; it looks about the same now

Television: Here in Egypt, TV has a powerful hold over people’s minds. It is an instrument of leisure, of
information and - to a very limited extend - of culture. It does not stop people reading newspapers or books,
going to the cinema or theatre or watching videos. But these activities are occasional, irregular and ultimately
of secondary importance. TV is one of the street, as well as being written about in all the newspapers.
It might be said that the main objective of TV is to persuade the maximum number of people to watch
it for the maximum amount of time. And how effectively the sitcoms and soap operas do that! I do not think
that I have ever seen any other country so totally dominated by these shows. Some of them are Egyptian
productions but the majority is American. Each episode, each programme, is a talking point for everyone,
young and old alike.

Most people think of computers as very modern inventions, products of our new technological age. But
actually the idea for a computer had been worked out over two centuries ago by a man _44_ Charles Babbage.
Babbage was born in 1791 and grew up to be a brilliant mathematician. He drew up plans for several
calculating machines which he called “engines”. But despite the fact that he _45_ building some of these, he
never finished any of them. Over the years people have argued _46_ his machines would ever work. Recently,
however, the Science Museum in London has finished building _47_ engine based on one of Babbage’s
designs. _48_ has taken six years to complete and more than four thousand parts have been specially made.
Whether it works or not, the machine will be on show at a special exhibition in the Science Museum to
remind people of Babbage’s work.
