Read the article and choose the correct answer.
Nicola Tesla.
For some reason his name is not widely known though he could join the company of the most famous
scholars like Edison and Newton. He achieved remarkable results in mechanics, engineering, electricity,
magnetism, and energy transmitting. His researches and his astonishing discoveries could have accelerated the
science and technological progress tremendously, but they didn't.
The bulk of his theories and drafts were never implemented. Lots of his theoretical and engineering works
were either never published, or lost, or just vanished and even the family weren't able to trace the track of the
papers.
The oblivion and rare references in scientific and popular science journals could have been caused by
different reasons, his complicated and controversial personality included, but anyone who is keen on physics
is very well familiar with his name - Tesla is the unit to measure magnetic induction or magnetic flux, and is
used to define the intensity of magnetic fields.
Nicola Tesla was born in 1856 and died in 1943. Serbian by origin, he spent most of his life in the United
States and his life there was very diverse. He did unskilled jobs to feed himself and to generate money for
research. He was vice president of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. He cherished his friendship
with Mark Twain and argued severely with Edison.
He had a photographic memory, was fluent in about eight languages and was claimed to suffer from mental
disorder at the end of his life. Data about him is rather controversial. According to some documents, it was he
who invented the radio and designed radio controlled devices. There is evidence that at the very end of the
nineteenth century Tesla demonstrated a radio-controlled boat at the electrical exhibition in the United States,
though radio-controlled devices were not used till the middle of the twentieth century. Even more stunning
and unbelievable were Tesla's experiments with electricity.
Tesla supposed that it was possible to generate electricity from atmosphere and to transmit it wirelessly
over huge distances. He had a specially equipped laboratory in Colorado Springs, State Colorado, the USA,
where he experimented with electricity. According to his biographers the results were astonishing.
Tesla was able to create artificial lightning, much more powerful than the natural thing, and made it move
in a certain direction, to a precisely calculated destination. If that had been true, it would make the most
powerful and disastrous weapon mankind has ever known. There is a hypothesis, by the way, that the Tungus
meteorite or Tunguska event, which happened in remote Siberia forests in 1908, was not a natural space body
which exploded near the surface of the earth, but it was the effect of Tesla testing his directed energy weapon.

a) was as talented as his contemporary Edison.

Civilisation and progress.
I’d like to tell you about technological civilization. We are a technological civilisation and culture.
Technology has been with humans from the first use of a stone as a tool and it is impossible to separate
technology from our life now. This tool use has since developed to an advanced state, where our human
culture is dependent upon the technology that surrounds it.
According to legend, the wife of Emperor of China developed silk as an industry about 4, 700 years ago
and she may be the first ever recorder female inventor. Chine still produces more silk than any other country.
At the end of the Middle Ages the German Johan Gutenberg invented printing with movable type. His
Gutenberg Bible of 1455 was the first known printed book. . The first printed press in England was set up by
William Caxton in 15
th
century. The first printed press in Russia was set up by Ivan Fedorov in 16
th
century. I
should say that the invention of printing was a really great event in history.
In 1888, an American inventor, Herman Hollerith, develop the first successful computer, using punched
cards and electricity. Then in 1975, personal computers were finally introduced. Today we cannot live without
them.
The first non-leaking ballpoint pen was invented in 1935 by brothers Biro from Hungary.
The greatest inventions in my opinion are electric light bulb, lasers, airplane, television, microwave
oven, computer, copy machine, mobile phone.
