Task 1. Read the text and decide if the following statements are true or false. We can not deny the role of telecommunications in our life. The Internet, phones, telegraph, cell
phones, radio, television, satellite television, video cell phones are all the means of communication
or telecommunication. Nowadays we live in information era, when information is the key and
engine of progress. Our society needs to develop means of information exchange for its future
developing and growth that is why all types of telecommunication are under the permanent
developing». Future is speed and power. New technologies in electronics continue to develop.
Computers become more compact, faster and inexpensive. Technology exerts revolutionary
influence on society only when it is universal. Real revolution in manufacture, accumulation,
treatment of matter began when first universal machines appeared and telecommunication systems
were created. In ancient machines energy source was combined with machine itself, but in process
of development, division of manufacture, new means of transmission and consumption of energy
took place. Revolutionary modifications in use of energy connected with appearance of universal
electric machines and power grids, social changes to informational society are observed in all the
countries. On base of analogy between matter, energy and information we can have ideas about
future. Earlier, for example, number of manufactured metal played the strategic role and was the
description of development. Now we save metal, energy and we think about energy saving
technologies. It is very difficult to predict many steps of telecommunication development.

The most favorite film I've ever watched is called "Devil wears Prada". This film was produced by 20th Century Fox. The film producer is Wendy Finerman. Actors are Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci and so on. The film is about a recent college graduate with big dreams who is trying to show her skills and talent to a tough chief. I recommend this film because it teaches that we should love what we do. Nevertheless the problems and difficulties, make sure you thoroughly enjoy every second of it.
