The second half of the twentieth century saw more changes in technology than in previous two
hundred years. Penicillin has already been discovered and used to treat infections. There have
been many remarkable advances in medicine that have helped to increase our average life
expectancy way beyond that of our ancestors. Incredible innovations such as television have
changed the way we spend our leisure hours. Perhaps, the most important break through,

within a matter of years. This tiny piece of silicon and circuitry would be found in almost every
household object from the kettle to the video recorder. And nobody could have predicted the
sudden proliferation of computers that would completely change our lives, allowing us to access
information from the other side of world via the internet or send massages around the world by
email at the touch of a button. Meanwhile, research into other aspects of information technology
is making it easier and cheaper for us to talk to friends and relation around the world.
