A Short History of the Internet

The Internet was invented in the 1960s by computer scientists working in America. For many
years, only people in universities and people very interested in computer technology used this
new invention.
In 1991, a British computer scientist called Tim Berners-Lee inventedthe world wide web.This
made it much easier to use the Internet and it became very popular all over the world. But there
was still a problem.TheInternet was so slow!
At the beginning of the 21th century, broadband technology made it easier for people to connect
quickly to the Internet. It also made it easier for people to share information. People wanted to
share videos, links and music on sites like YouTube and MySpace.
Today we can access the Internet on smart phones, laptops, PCs and tablet computers.We live
online.Websites have become a big part of our lives.We shop on Amazon and eBay, we talk to
friends on Facebook and Twitter, we listen to music on Spotify and search for information on
Google.
What is the future of the Internet? Nobody knows. But one thing we can be quite sure about. It
isn't going to go away!

Worker of the Year

Who is the worker of the year? Here are some clues. This worker is never fatigued. Working all
day long is no problem. He or she also doesn't need lunch breaks or vacations. Best of all, this
worker doesn't make many errors. All the work is done quickly too.

Every factory owner wants a worker like this. More things can be made and sold if workers
never stop to rest. That's why the worker of the year is a robot! Today more and more robots are
19
LỚP 4 NC BÀI 3: COMPUTERS AND TECHNOLOGY

put to work. Most of their work is too hazardous for people to do. We use them to explore
volcanoes, oceans, and sometimes other planets. We've even sent robots to Mars! Robots are
our helpers. What are some things you want a robot to help you with?

Like most machines, robots are different shapes and sizes. Robots that build cars are very big
and strong. They have to pick up heavy things. Robots can be small too. Some small robots are
vacuum cleaners. They are small so they can go around chairs and tables while cleaning. Many
robots can only do one job. But they do it very well.

How does a robot know what to do? There's a computer inside that directs it. Today robots do
simple jobs. But that could change soon. Robots that can drive cars are being built and tested.
How can a robot drive without eyes? Well, these robots take many pictures as they drive. The
computer looks at each picture to see where the other cars are. These robots are very complex.
They do not work perfectly yet, but someday they might.

The person I admire the most is Thomas Edison. Thomas Edison was an inventor from the
United States. He was born in 1847 and died in 1931. Edison invented many things. His most
famous invention is the light bulb. Thanks to Edison, we can see at night.
