In the summer of 1984, almost two billion television viewer were able to watch the Summer
Olympics from Los Angeles, Live via satellite, While telecommunication satellite beamed the
Olympics around the world, most viewers watched the events without stopping to think about how
this form of instant communication works, or how it may affect their lives now and in the future in
both positive and negative ways.
The advantages of telecommunications systems for the rapid and efficient transmission of
information to and from the home around the world have been described by communications
experts. They see the development of these systems as a first step toward eliminating political and
geographic boundaries by making every kind of human knowledge available to all. However, the
possible disadvantages of this new technology have usually been ignored.
Telecommunication can make information from around the world available to use quickly and easily,
but some people worry that this may be a risk to our privacy. If personal information is stored in
computers, then it may be easily transmitted via satellite to anyone who can pay for the service.
Other futurists worry that telecommunications systems may isolate people from each other. They
say that when people are able to shop from their homes, do their banking without leaving their
house, watch movies they want on their television, as well as get information they need, then there
will not be as much contact between people. The isolation may have a very destructive effect on
social relations.It is important to realize that the same technology that helps us may harm us. We can prevent this
from happening by monitoring the new technology. As one communication expert says, we must
remember that technology alone is not the answer. It is the intelligent application of technology
that will lead us to success.

Our earth has been rotating around the sun for billions of years. In that time its surface has
undergone numerous changes. About two billion years ago life had a simple beginning. At first
countless tiny organisms evolved slowly, then large vegetation , and later still a rich variety of
animals come into being. Many of these animals have become extinct and many others have
remained with us until now.
The last creatures to appear were human being. They did not have an easy life on this earth, femine
disease, wild animals, harsh climates and wars were their environment and managed to prevent
and cure diseases. Thus over the centuries, their number had vastly increased to such an extent that
it has now become a big problem.
