(UFSM - 2001) Imagine it: Your plane touches down at Charles de Gaulle and you take out your 1portable voice recognition-translation device. You set the dial to Franais. Et voil! You are free 3to roam Paris without anyone sneering at your high school French. Sound like science fiction? 2Machines that recognize your voice and translate your language have already converged.

(UFSM - 2001) BRITAINS INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE During the nineteenth century Britain was transformed from a mainly AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY into an industrial one. This change has been called the INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION because of the dramatic effect it had on the British way of life. People moved to the rapidly EXPANDING TOWNS and cities, RAILWAYS were developed to transport goods around the country and by 1900 Britain had become a major WORLD POWER. The Industrial Revolution in Britain was built on the use of MACHINE in factories. Since the 1950s Britains manufacturing industries have replaced the machine operators with computers, and this automation has led to a decline in the number, of employees in manufacturing industries. More manufactured goods are bought and used than ever before but 1a lot of these goods are imported. By the beginning of the twentieth century other industrial countries, like the USA, were competing with Britains exports, and countries in the Far East have been able to provide cheaper products since the 1970s.
