8. JobWithtext.

Look through the text and answer the questions before it.

Read the text very attentively and carry out the tasks after it.

Are They Crazy or Am I?

1 READING AND THINKING

A. Pre-reading

Look at the picture. Can you answer these questions without reading the text?

  • What was this man's name?
  • Why was he famous?
  • What else do you know about him?

B. Reading

Keep the questions above in mind as you read this biographical sketch.

He was one of the greatest scientists and thinkers in history. However, he was not considered very bright when he was child. When he was nine, his father told his mother he was very worried about him because he was “a little slow.” His teachers complained that he had sense of discipline and that he was a bad influence on the other students.

When he was fifteen, he was thrown out of school, but a few years later he was allowed to study mathematics and physics at a special technical university in Zurich. But even at the university, he was hardly “a good student”. He rarely attended classes, and he was often in trouble with his professors because he constantly discussed with them. One of them told him: “You’re smart; extremely smart. But you have one real fault; you never let yourself be told anything!”

When he graduated from the university, he couldn’t get a job – partly because none of his professors would recommend him for one. Finally, he found one in the Swiss Patent Office in Berne.

One of his duties was writing descriptions of new inventions. This helped him learn how to write clearly and simply. He later said that the only thing that made many problems in science seemed difficult was the language they were described in.

In 1905, when he was only twenty-six, he published an article in a scientific journal. The article deals with a theory which he called the Theory of Relativity. He became very famous for this theory, which concerns time and gravity and how things change when they travel at very high speeds.

All his life, he lived very simply and was totally uninterested in money, power, or fame. He could never understand why so many people admired him and wanted to meet him. He knew that most of them had never read anything he had written and that they didn’t understand his ideas. “Are they crazy or am I?” he asked.

1. Find the words in the text that mean:

  • smart, quick at learning things
  • not very smart or quick at learning things
  • not often at all
  • very often; again and again
  • to get a degree and leave a school
  • a part of the government that gives people the right to make and sell new inventions
  • the force or pull that one object, such as a planet, has on a smaller object, such as the moon

2. Give your opinion. Do your classmates agree?

  • Is there anything about the man’s childhood that surprises you?
  • Do you think he was very popular with his professors at the university? Give reasons for your answer.
  • He later said that his time at the Swiss Patent Office was one of the most important periods of his life.
  • Why do you think he said this?
  • Do you think Einstein was crazy?

III. Conclusion: homework and summary.

I think, it’s high time to finish our lesson.

This text will be your homework.

Comrades, did you like our lesson and what did you like best?

Have you got any new and useful information?

Do you want to make any other notes about our lesson?

So, I’m grateful to you for your active, creative work and support.

Of course, I’ll put you good and excellent marks.

The lesson is over. You may be free. Good luck!

The motto of the lesson

Necessity is the mother of the inventions”

Experience is the mother of wisdom”


Henry Ford (July 30, 1863 April 7, 1947) was

the American founder of the Ford Motor Company

and father of modern assembly lines used in mass

production. His introduction to the Model T automobile

revolutionized transportation and American industry. He

was a prolific inventor and was awarded 161 U.S. patents.

As owner of the Ford Company he became one of the richest

and best-known people in the world. He is credited

with "Fordism", that is, the mass production of large

numbers of inexpensive automobiles using the assembly line,

coupled with high wages for his workers. Ford had a global

vision, with consumerism as the key to peace. Ford did not

Believe in accountants; he amassed one of the world's largest

fortunes without ever having his company audited under

his administration. Henry Ford's intense commitment

to lowering costs resulted in many technical and business

innovations, including a franchise system that put a dealership

in every city in North America, and in major cities on six

continents.


Ten Great Inventors and their Inventions

Valdemar Poulsen (November 23, 1869, in Copenhagen

July 23, 1942) was a Danish engineer. Not developed

a magnetic wire recorder in 1899. The magnetic recording

was demonstrated in principle as early as 1898 by

Valdemar Poulsen in his Telegraphone. Magnetic wire

recording, and its successor, magnetic tape recording,

involve the use of a magnetizable medium which moves

past a recording head. An electrical signal, which is

analogous to the sound that is to be recorded, is fed

to the recording head, inducing a pattern of magnetization

similar to the signal. A playback head (which may be

the same as the recording head) can then pick up

the changes in the magnetic field from the tape and

convert them into an electrical signal. Poulsen obtained

a Telegraphone Patent in 1898, and with his assistant,

Peder O. Pedersen, later developed other magnetic

recorders that recorded on steel wire, tape, or disks.


Ten Great Inventors and their Inventions

was an eminent scientist, inventor and innovator who is widely

credited with the invention of the telephone. His father,

grandfather and brother had all been associated with work

on elocution and speech, and both his mother and wife were deaf,

profoundly influencing Bell's life's work. His research on hearing

and speech further led him to experiment with hearing devices

that eventually culminated in Bell being awarded the first U.S.

patent for the invention of the telephone in 1876. In reflection,

Bell considered his most famous invention an intrusion on his real

work as a scientist and refused to have a telephone in his study.

Upon Bell's death, all telephones throughout the United States

"stilled their ringing for a silent minute in tribute to the man

whose yearning to communicate made them possible. Many others

inventions marked Bell's later life including groundbreaking work

in hydrofoils and aeronautics. In 1888, Alexander Graham Bell

became one of the founding members of the National Geographic

Society.


Ten Great Inventors and their Inventions

The Wright brothers , Orville (August 19, 1871

January 30, 1948) and Wilbur (April 16, 1867

May 30, 1912), were two Americans who are generally

credited with inventing and building the world"s first

successful and making the first controlled, powered

1903. In the two years afterward, the brothers developed

their flying machine into the first practical fixed-wing aircraft.

Although not the first to build and fly experimental aircraft,

the Wright brothers were the first to invent aircraft controls

that made fixed wing flight possible. The brothers" fundamental

breakthrough was their invention of "three axis-control", which

enabled the pilot to steer the aircraft effectively and to maintain

its equilibrium. This method became standard and remains standard

on fixed wing aircraft of all kinds. From the beginning of them

aeronautical work, the Wright brothers focused on unlocking the

secrets of control to conquer "the flying problem", rather than

developing more powerful engines as some other experimenters did.

Their careful wind tunnel tests produced better aeronautical data

than any before, enabling them to design and build wings and propellers

more effective than any before. Their U.S. patent 821,393 claims the

invention of a system of aerodynamic control that manipulates a flying

machine's surfaces.


Ten Great Inventors and their Inventions

John Logie Baird (August 13, 1888 June 14, 1946)

was a Scottish engineer and inventor of the world's first

working television system. Although Baird's electromechanical

system was eventually displaced by purely electronic systems

(such as those of Vladimir Zworykin and Philo Farnsworth),

his early successes demonstrating working television

broadcasts and his color and cinema television work earn

him a prominent place in television's invention. Baird was

born in Helensburgh, Argyll, Scotland. He was educated at

Larchfield Academy (now part of Lomond School),

Helensburgh; the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical

College (which later became the University of Strathclyde);

and the University of Glasgow. His degree course was

interrupted by World War I and he never returned

to graduate.


Ten Great Inventors and their Inventions

Sergey Pavlovich Korolyov (often transliterated as Sergei Korolev ,

(January 12 1907, Zhy tomyr January 14, 1966

Moscow), was the head Soviet rocket engineer and designer during

the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union

in the 1950s and 1960s. He invented the R-7 rocket. Although trained

as an aircraft designer, Korolyov's greatest strengths proved to be in

design integration, organization and strategic planning. A victim

of Stalin's 1938 Great Purge, he was imprisoned for almost six

years, including some months in a Siberian gulag. Following his release,

he became a rocket designer and a key figure in the development of

the Soviet ICBM program. He was then appointed to lead the Soviet

space program, given a rank of Academician (Member of Soviet Academy

of Sciences), overseeing the early successes of the Sputnik and Vostok

projects. By the time he died unexpectedly in 1966, his plans to compete

with the United States to be the first nation to land a man on the Moon

had begun to be implemented. Before his death he was often referred

to only as "Chief Designer", because his name and his pivotal role in the

Soviet space program had been held to be a state secret by the

Politburo. Only many years later he was publicly acknowledged as the

lead man behind Soviet success in space.


Ten Great Inventors and their Inventions

Michael Faraday , FRS (22 September 1791 25 August 1867)

was an English chemist and physicist (or natural philosopher,

in the terminology of the time) who contributed to the fields

of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. Faraday studied

the magnetic field around a conductor carrying a DC electric

current, and established the basis for the magnetic field

concept in physics. He discovered electromagnetic induction,

diamagnetism, and laws of electrolysis. He established that

magnetism could affect rays of light and that there was an

underlying relationship between the two phenomena. His

inventions of electromagnetic rotary devices formed the

foundation of electric motor technology, and it was largely

due to his efforts that electricity became viable for use in

technology.


Ten Great Inventors and their Inventions

Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 October 18, 1931)

was an American inventor and businessman who developed many

devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including

the phonograph and the long-lasting, practical electric light bulb.

Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park" by a newspaper reporter, he was

one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production

and large teamwork to the process of invention, and therefore is often

credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory.

Edison is considered one of the most prolific inventors in history,

holding 1,093 U.S. patents in his name, as well as many patents

in the United Kingdom, France and Germany. He is credited with

numerous inventions that contributed to mass communication and,

in particular, telecommunications. His advanced work in these fields

was an outgrowth of his early career as a telegraph operator.

Edison originated the concept and implementation of electric-power

generation and distribution to homes, businesses, and factories –

a crucial development in the modern industrialized world. His first

power plant was on Manhattan Island, New York.


Ten Great Inventors and their Inventions

mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, theologian

and one of the most influential men in human history. His Philosophy e

Naturalis Principia Mathematica, published in 1687, is considered to

be the most influential book in the history of science. In this work,

Newton described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion,

laying the groundwork for classical mechanics, which dominated the

scientific view of the physical universe for the next three centuries

and is the basis for modern engineering. Newton showed that the

motions of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies are governed by

the same set of natural laws by demonstrating the consistency between

Kepler's laws of planetary motion and his theory of gravitation, thus

removing the last doubts about heliocentrism and advancing

the scientific revolution.

Television in Our Life

The first commercial television broadcast was made on April 20, 1939 by Radio Corporation of America (RCA). Since 1939, it has become one of the most important facts of modern life. Television is very much a part of the modern world. Its effects are felt all over the world.

Television is a reflection of the modern world, say some people. It shows contemporary society. It affects customs and culture, others way. Television is bad for culture because it keeps culture from growing, say still others.

Good or bad, television is difficult to avoid. Its pictures enter homes, stores, airports and factories. It is here to stay!

Advantages and Disadvantages of Television

  • Television is one of the greatest achievements of the 20th century. It is the most popular part of mass media. Television is the easiest and the cheapest source of information. It is an advantage.
  • One of the positive features about TV is that it educates us. There are programs devoted to specialized subjects such as life of animals or plants, science, politics and many others. Watching such programs we learn a lot of useful and interesting information.
  • TV gives us the opportunity to travel around the world without getting up from the sofa. We can learn about life of people in different countries, their customs and traditions and we don’t pay for it.
  • There are very exciting, funny and humorous programs, concerts full of wonderful music and songs especially on holidays. So, television entertains us and we like it because it makes us forget our everyday problems.
  • One of the disadvantages is that television sometimes substitutes our nearest and dearest. It prevents us from communicating with our friends and relatives.
  • Today you can see many films on TV which are filled with cruel and violent scenes that is very bad especially for children and teenagers.
  • Watching TV too much may be dangerous for your eyesight. It is a disadvantage.

Outstanding inventors

There are people without whom humanity would simply freeze at the point at which it was at a certain moment and would not move further in any way. This is, of course, inventors .

After all, without innovation, without methods that offer solutions to pressing problems, life would be difficult, we would not have anything to which we are accustomed and which makes up our daily life. Not only would there be no complex devices like computers, but even something that we now consider so simple that we cannot imagine our lives without it.

A good example would be heating, lighting, and so on. It was the inventors who made it possible for such important things to exist in our everyday life - and they continue to develop our civilization, making it more and more technically equipped, making life easier, more convenient and more perfect.


Outstanding inventors

The world's most famous and great inventors in our top 10 all deserve recognition and respect, but who deserves it a little more than others? Who was the most influential in history?

Let's try to get acquainted with this in a slightly more detailed manner.


10. Leonardo da Vinci

Of course, the famous inventor is in 10th place not at all because of the insignificance of his merits - it’s just that almost all of his inventions were never realized during his lifetime.

He foresaw tanks, parachutes, cars in their simplest form - but in practice, unfortunately, he was never able to implement anything.

But his services to humanity simply cannot be denied - they are simply incredible.


9. Edwin Land

This physicist began inventing at the age of 17 - he then came up with polarizing lenses intended for car headlights.

But he didn’t stop there - during his life he received 535 patents.

The most famous was the patent relating to the famous Polaroid - the first camera in history that could develop photographs in a matter of seconds.


8. Benjamin Franklin

We know Franklin as a very versatile figure, but inventions are what he did best. He came up with things without which we cannot imagine our modern life.

These are a lightning rod, bifocal glasses, an economical stove and much more. Interestingly, he never patented his inventions, believing that they should first of all be publicly available - in addition, he often based his work on earlier ideas.


7. Heron Alexandrius

There were the most talented inventors during the Roman Empire. But this, perhaps, could not be avoided by any of his contemporaries. It was he who invented the pump, the syringe, automatic doors, the fountain, the steam turbine and even the most primitive programmable devices.

Like most geniuses, he was not understood by his contemporaries, and the vast majority of his inventions were completely rejected at one time.


6. Jerome Hal Lemelson

An amazing case when a man was one of the most outstanding inventors, and his name is absolutely not heard, but during his life he had more than 600 patents. Without his innovations, audio and video cassettes, industrial robots, radiotelephones, faxes, and so on would not have been created.

He also had a very significant contribution to the development of medicine, he was such a versatile and talented inventor - moreover, completely independent.


5. George Westinghouse

This man is the owner of more than four hundred patents. His most important inventions are braking systems for trains. He initially invented the steam brake, then the air brake, and then the automatically controlled brake.

And his systems are still used in transport, just slightly modified. He also greatly influenced the development of engines, shock absorbers and other important transportation systems.


4. Alexander Graham Bell

Bell is widely known primarily as the inventor of the first telephone. He also invented devices that help detect icebergs, a simple hearing aid, a metal detector, an electric piano, and participated in the creation of one of the first airplanes.

Equally important, he was no less invested in supporting young but promising inventors - and they also created a lot of very useful things.


3. Nikola Tesla

Few names have acquired such an impressive number of legends and speculations. But putting aside the mysticism attributed to him, he is important because he came close to creating the mass distribution of electricity.

His developments were used in various fields - for example, a radar was created on their basis, he also made his contribution to the development of robotics, ballistics and much more - a rare and exceptional talent.


This man is called “the most outstanding inventor”, since few people were more productive than him - more than a thousand patents.

Although most of them belonged to people working for him, and not to him personally, competently managing inventors is no less difficult than personally engaging in invention.

2. Thomas Edison

Yes, and electrification, kinescope, phonograph and light bulbs are what he became famous for - and it’s hard to imagine how we would exist now without it.


It's always difficult to be first. In ancient times, there were no modern capabilities and tools, therefore the achievements of Archimedes are amazing - the number Pi, siege weapons, the Archimedes screw and so on - many of his inventions are significant today.

1. Archimedes

This makes it possible to boldly declare that Archimedes is the best inventor who has ever existed. He was hundreds of years ahead of his time, which is why he is so great.


INVENTING IS SO EASY! THIS IS SO DIFFICULT!

  • INVENTION. For an innovation to be recognized as an invention, it must have four qualities :
  • be a technical solution to a problem,
  • be new
  • have significant differences from what is already known,
  • give a beneficial effect.

If there are no new qualities, new (and, moreover, significant, significant) differences, there is no invention.

  • Invention is often confused with discovery. You can only invent something that did not exist before.

To discover means to discover something that already existed in nature, but was not known before. Universal gravity, for example, cannot be invented, it could only be discovered, it has always existed. Newton's laws, Ohm's law, the decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen, the cellular structure of plants - all these are discoveries.


Now try to determine for yourself which of the following was a discovery and which an invention:

  • Lathe
  • Smelting iron and steel
  • Inertia of bodies
  • Clock pendulum
  • Dependence of pendulum oscillations on its length
  • Sail
  • Jet engine
  • Attraction of bodies

Invention task:

  • To invent something, you need to solve a technical problem.
  • I offer you the following task:

During the summer holidays at school there is no one to water the flowers. How to make sure that when you come to class on September 1, the flowers do not dry out?

ICT : We need to make sure that the flowers water themselves.

  • I look forward to your inventions.
