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 breakthrough, however, has been the microchip. Nobody could
have imagined, when it was first invented, that 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 the world via the Internet or send massages
around the world by e-mail 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 relations around the
world.
