6.Speaking

Some pupils prepared short reports from the history of communications

Listen, read and answer the questions.

What did people do when they didn't have the alphabet?

What did people do when they didn't have post offices?

What did people do when they didn't have the telephone
and the telegraph?

Nowadays we take our modern means of communication for granted, but we shouldn't forget older methods. Who knows? One day we may need them again!

The history of communication started long before people invented the alphabet. When people couldn't read or write, they drew pictures on the walls. These pictures told the stories of their everyday life, battles and culture.

Can you imagine уоит Me without post offices? Difficult, isn't it. But before they were invented, people still wrote letters.

In the ancient world there were thousands of foot messen­gers who formed an ancient communication network. One of the most famous messengers in history was a Greek soldier. He ran to Athens to bring the news of the Greek victory over the Persians at the battle of Marathon in 490 ВС.

When he got to Athens and gave the news, he fell dead of exhaustion (истощение).Не had covered a distance of 26 miles. In honour of this soldier, sportsmen nowadays run the same distance — a marathon.

In the Middle Ages life was hard and dangerous. It was very important to have good neighbours and to get news quickly. So people used the high towers of their castles to send and receive messages about the enemies. American Indians didn't build high towers but used smoke signals to send important information.

When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, everybody thought that it was a real miracle (чудо).The telephone and the telegraph were the fastest means of communication that people could imagine.iln the 19th century people used to say, "We have invented everything we could." But as we know today it was just the beginning.

5.Answer: true, false or no information.

People couldn't communicate before they invented the alphabet.

In the ancient world people also had big, fast communication networks.

Marathon is the name of a place in ancient Greece.

In medieval times people used the telegraph.

The American Indians used smoke signals because they couldn't read
or write.

People invented the post in the 19th century.

Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone.

In the 19th century people used Morse code for the telegraph.

7. Now let’s watch the short film

TELEVISION

The first television picture that was ever seen was not exiting. It was only a picture of a face,and the picture only travelled a few meters. But to the inventor, JohnLogie Baird, it was wonderful.

Baird had always been interested in science, but not all of his experiments had been successful. In 1900, when he was twelve years old, he and some friends built a private telephone system. It worked well, but one night a storm pulled down the wires that the boys hadstretched across the street. A man who was standing in the street was hurt by the falling wires, and the boys' telephone system had to be closed down.

A few years later, Baird and a classmate built a plane, which they launched (with John in it) from a roof. Luckily, when the plain crashed, it fell on some grass, so John was not badly hurt.

After studying electrical engineering at the Royal Technical Col­lege in Glasgow, Scotland, John Baird went to the University of Glas­gow. When he graduated, he got a job in a power station that supplied electricity to the Clyde Valley in Scotland. When he used the power sup­ply at the station for one of his experiments, all of the electricity in the Clyde Valley was cut off! That was the end of his job.

At this time, one of Baird's friends lived in Trinidad. Godfrey Har­ris had often written to Baird about the wonderful climate there. NowJohn decided to go to live in Trinidad. When he arrived, Harris told him about the business idea that he had thought of. He said that he wanted to start a jam factory. Baird agreed, and they started the factory together.But, because they did not know anything about making jam, all kinds ofterrible things happened. Mosquitoes and other kinds of insects fell into the jam. Also, when they put the jam into jars, it spoiled. Finally, Baird became ill and decided to leave Trinidad.

When he returned to England in 1922, he had no job and v little money. Since he had not completely recovered from his illness his doctor said he had to leave London and go to the seashore. Baird went to Hastings. He thought about some inventions that he was interested in. One of his ideas was transmitting pictures by wireless. worked with an old motor that he had found in the junk behind electrician's shop, a metal cookie container, an old wireless telegraph some needles, flashlight batteries, and pieces of wood. He a[m killed himself several times by touching the wrong wires. For years, he worked alone.

Finally, on October 2, 1925, Baird transmitted a picture of human face - the face of a fifteen-year-old boy. In January 1921 members of the Royal Institution came to see his invention. Baird’sdemonstration was a success. (Of course, something had always gone wrong at important times in John Baird's life. This time, a member the Institution went too close to Baird's machine, and his beard came tangled in it!)

By 1929, the public had become interested in television. In September of that year, the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation), whichcontrolled all broadcasting in England, started experimental transmission with Baird's equipment. However, other companies and inventors in England and the United States had discovered better transmission methods. In 1937, when the BBC examined all of the exiting television sys-tems, Baird's was not chosen. John Baird was not discouraged, however and continued to work on other inventions.

9.The end.

E-mail

Nobody tried to invent the e-mail. It simply happened. In 1969 an American, Ray Tomlinson, was working on two projects at the same time. Firstly, he was working on a programme called SNDMSG (send message). With that programme the people in his company were able to leave messages for each other. The second project was a file-transferprogramme (CYPNET). With that programme users were able to send files between linked computers.

Suddenly Tomlinson had an idea. "If I put the two programmes together. I may be able to send messages, not just files, to other computers." The idea worked and quickly became popular.

Tomlinson invented e-mail addresses too. These have two parts: the name of the user and the name of the host (the computer). He chose the "commercial at" symbol and combined the user and host names. Forexample:mishainin@lukinsk.rii (миша инин на компьютере лукинск.ру).The decision to take the @ symbol took Tomlinson only thirty or forty seconds.

The new system grew quickly and soon it became network e-mail, Nowadays users pass messages between billions of different computers. People send e-mails more often than they make telephone calls. So Ray Tomlinson gave us one of the greatest means of communication in history. He is still working as a programmer and he doesn't thinkthat the e-mail was the greatest thing he has done in his life. "I have done more difficult and useful things that took me years," he says "The e-mail took just a couple of days’’

Telegraph

The word "telegraph" comes from Greek and means "to write far". In other words, it is a communication system whichtransmits signals.

In 1835 a professor of arts and design at New York University, Samuel Morse, developed telegraph wires. He also invented Morse code, an electronic alphabet. With the help of that alphabet it was possible to code the letters and signs of a language. Morse gave a public demonstration of his invention in 1838, but it took five more years to get the money for the first experimental telegraph line from Washington to Baltimore.

Paper

Paper came from China, in the second century BC. The oldest piece of paper in the world is made from hemp. The archaeologists found it in the tomb near Xian, in China. They think the Chinese made it between 140 and 87 BC.
