A. You're going to hear a report about the latest breakthroughs in technology, listen carefully and then briefly answer the following two questions.
Everybody thinks of technology as somebody in a lab coat, you know, tinkering with computer chips, but techonology is really about how we live and how we communicate.
Suzanne Cantra is the "What's new" editor at Popular Science magazine, a magazine that has been following advances in technology for more than 100 years.
The most fanciful dream of mankind is today a startling reality. Remember when television was considered a fad of the future?
It may not be long before our news events and current world happenings will be witnessed in thousands of homes. Boys, were they wrong?
This recorder shows how far television has come. T-BO's personal TV and NBC investment, is one of the products that caught Cantra's eye.
One of the benefits of having a computer recording the video is that the computer can read the video broadcast as it comes in, so if the phone rings, you can hit pause on a live broadcast.
And not only that, this sort of small VCR learns which TV shows and characters you like to watch and records them for you.
This device is only one of a hundred item, Cantra says, best represents the future.
And while we couldn't show you all of them, here are a few that reflect some of new trends.
Like Ericsson's R380, you can make calls, browse the web, check you calendar, and send and receive email, all in this one device.
This cell phone actually shows us the future of integrated devices.
And I bet you can't guess what this is? Although it looks like a watch, in fact, it's a camera. That's right, a camera.
