[06:27.19]a time of new discoveries and great changes.
[06:29.86]一个充满新的发现和巨大变化的时代。
[06:32.54]But is it really true that we are living in the "Information Age"?
[06:35.78]但是我们真正生活在信息化时代吗？
[06:39.02]Has our life changed that much?
[06:41.24]我们的生活真的变化如些之大吗？
[06:43.46]Many of the things we do with computers,such as typing and sending mail,

[07:23.79]The words are useful,but they are not quite true.

[08:05.12]but it may also make it more difficult for us to use the new invention in the best way.
[08:08.95]但同时也有可能使我们觉得以最好的方式动用一种新发明更困难。
[08:12.77]After all,what makes a new invention such a wonderful thing
[08:15.95]毕竟，使一个新的发明变得如些神奇的是
[08:19.12]is that it allows us to do something we could not do before.
[08:22.01]它能让我们做我们以前不能做的事情。
[08:24.89]Science is not just about electronics¹¹ and plastic;
[08:27.68]科学并不是仅关于电子和塑料，
[08:30.46]it is also about how we think about the world.

[08:55.54]The real function will only be known
[08:58.02]只有当我们找到一些新的办法来思考科技时，
[09:00.50]once we discover new ways of thinking about the technology.
[09:03.44]它的真正功能才能知道。
[09:06.38]Integrating skills
[09:19.44]Reading   Inventions
[09:23.20]Computers taht use light instead of electricity,
[09:28.06]"smart" clothes taht can make phone calls and play music,
[09:33.81]house paints that change colour with the seasons,
[09:38.53]e-paper and ads that speak to you
[09:43.29]-the list of amazing new inventions that seem to be just around the corner
[09:49.24]is long and inspiring.
[09:53.32]How many of these new technologies will actually become reality remains¹² to be seen,
[10:00.45]but it is clear that the next fifty years will be exciting.
[10:05.60]Here is a look at some of the new ideas that may shape our future.
[10:11.55]Now you see it,Now you don't
[10:15.50]Researchers in Japan
[10:18.76]have invented a kind of paint that makes things invisible.
[10:23.80]It may sound incredible¹³,
[10:27.36]but the new paint reflects light in such a way that the human eye is fooled.
[10:33.60]The technology behind the paint is fairly simple:
[10:38.17]instead of letting the light rays bounce¹⁴ back in the normal way,
[10:43.74]the paint sends the light back to the source.
[10:48.18]It is as if a basketball backboard was made
[10:52.93]so that a ball thrown at an angle¹⁵
[10:56.77]would bounce right back at teh person throwing it.
[11:01.45]The paint does not really make things disappear,
[11:06.20]but by changing the way the light bounces¹⁶
[11:10.35]it does make it possible to "see through" objects.
[11:16.10]The technology has many potential uses.
[11:20.86]The paint could be used to make interesting clothes
[11:25.01]and to help doctors see throught the skin of a patient
[11:30.05]and thus be able to work better

[11:34.02]It may also be used to hide things that we do not want others to see.
[11:40.58]Don't touch that knife
[11:43.82]Most of us probably hope that we will never have to face major surgery¹⁷.
[11:49.56]Even thought doctors are well-trained and modern
[11:54.03]technology makes it possible to save lives,
[11:58.58]many operations are still dangerous and painful.
[12:03.04]Now,however,scientists believe
[12:07.48]that they might be able to help doctors to cure patients with less risk.
[12:13.54]A new and very small robot has been invented.
[12:18.40]This robot can enter the human body through a small hole
[12:23.86]so that it is no longer necessary to cut the patient.
[12:28.83]Instead of using knives and other large tools,
[12:33.40]doctors can use a computer to move the tiny robot around.
[12:39.33]if the technology can be used on human beings,
[12:43.98]operations will be safer and less painful.
[12:48.94]That will never work,or will it?
[12:53.20]The most exciting inventions are always the ones that have  not yet been made.
[12:58.87]The true challenge for any inventor is to dare to dream and believe
[13:05.21]that what seems impossible today may one day become possible.
[13:11.17]Among the many inventions that are being discussed by some scientists
[13:16.73] are several that may seem ridiculous to us.
[13:21.59]For example,one scientist is trying to build a device¹⁸
[13:27.16]that will allow information to enter the human body.
[13:32.12]In early experiments,
[13:35.36]the scientist was able to send sound into humans and dolphins,
[13:41.00]with some success.
[13:44.16]He is now working on sending visual information to the brain,
[13:49.44]so that blind people could be able to "see".
[13:54.72]The scientist believes that is may be possible to "learn"
[14:00.18]by sending information to the brain.
[14:04.33]Other inventors are trying to make something out of nothing.
[14:09.06]One group of scientists
[14:12.72]think that it may be possible to make energy from space itself.
[14:18.59]According to their theories,
[14:22.15]what we think of as empty space
[14:26.51]does in fact sontain energy in the form of movement.
[14:32.07]They describe space as true "perpetual¹⁹ motion²⁰",
[14:37.14]that is,movement that never stops.
[14:41.50]They claim that there are energy fields everywhere
[14:45.94]--because of the laws of physics,there are always small movements everywhere.
[14:52.19]Forhundreds of years,people have tried to build machines that never stop,
[14:58.35]but the laws of physics show that it cannot be done.
[15:03.39]The "space motion",however,could turn out to be endless.
[15:09.74]The scientists working on the programme
[15:13.58]believe that these fields of energy can be put to work.
[15:18.44]If they are successful,
[15:21.68]a new and cheap energy source will become available to us.
[15:27.14]It should be said that most scientists
[15:31.40]think that these inventions will never work.
[15:35.37]perhaps they are right,
[15:38.42]but we would do well to keep in mind
[15:42.55]that many inventions that we now take for granted²¹ were greeted with doubt.
[15:48.58]People laughed at Benjamin Franklin's early discoveries
[15:53.42]and many other great scientists
[15:57.05]had to wait many years before their ideas were accepted.
[16:02.61]It is also important to remember
[16:06.56]that new inventions do not always work well in the beginning
[16:11.91]--a good example is the first airplane,
[16:16.17]which only flew a very short distance
