LANGUAGE MATTERS |
Hi everybody,
What scientific or technological breakthrough do you deem has had a huge impact on humankind? Have your say on the one(s) you regard as revolutionary and why, and also, express your standpoint on your classmates ´ takes on the issue. As Ive done in my contribution (underlined), have a go at using your science idioms. From where I stand, the advent of the Internet has revolutionised not only the way people look at the world but also the way we relate to one another. While becoming an expert in new technologies may seem an uphill battle, coming to terms with the basics doesnt take a rocket scientist, does it? In today ´s society, nearly every one of us owns an email address, has, at least once, created a social media account or purchases online, to name but a few examples. The one who doesnt follow suit may be regarded as not moving with the times. Left behind are reactions like flipping through your encyclopaedia to crosscheck data, or making the effort of retaining info since mouse clicking wasnt as customary as it would end up becoming. What´s your take on the Internet? Which other breakthroughs would you single out? Looking forward to reading you... ; )
