People have invented many useful devices. One of the most interesting and widely-used inventions is the telephone.
The modern phone that we use today is the result of work of many people. The first person to have patented the telephone in 1876 was Alexander Graham Bell. He is credited as the inventor of this practical device. Other scientists who also worked on telephone invention were Elisha Gray, Antonio Meucci, Thomas Edison and some others. The 20th century was the era of phone development and modernization. Rotary telephones were replaced by touch-tone dials and other sophisticated features.
Modern phones are presented mostly by mobiles, which support IP telephony and wi-fi. It is almost impossible to find a person nowadays who doesn’t have a personal mobile phone. These phones have become highly popular over the last years. They are rather compact, handy and easy to carry around. Mobile phones allow us to make instant calls, send text messages, listen to music, play games, take photos, check an e-mail and else. Thus, they have replaced not only landlines but also personal computers, MP3-players and cameras.
However, there are many people in the world who are against mobiles phones. Doctors claim that this device has a bad effect on people’s health. It can damage our eyesight and immune system. The signals that are sent from mobiles can be harmful. Some people also believe that phones prevent live communication. And, it is true. With the appearance of mobile phones and computers people meet up with friends less often.
In my opinion, telephone is a very useful and important device. We simply can’t live without it in the modern world, even though it is not safe for health. The only solution is to try to use it less in everyday life.
Spices diversity of wild animals differs greatly from one region of the world to another one. Almost all the world’s largest animals live in southern countries, where there is enough food and the weather conditions are more or less even throughout the year. For example, the biggest terricole is the African bush elephant, which inhabits vast savannas of this continent. The highest animal in the world is the giraffe, which also lives in Africa. Both the giraffe and the elephant are herbivorous, i.e they eat only plant food. Interestingly, the world’s largest carnivore lives in the Arctic. It is the polar bear, which is considered to be one of the largest, heaviest and the most dangerous wild animals. Its diet consists mostly of fish and small marine animals. And as for the biggest marine mammal, it is, of course, the blue whale.
Видовое разнообразие диких животных сильно различается в разных регионах. Почти все крупнейшие животные мира живут в южных странах, где достаточно пищи, а погодные условия более или менее равномерны на протяжении года. Например, самое крупное наземное животное – это африканский слон, который обитает в обширных саваннах этого континента. Самое высокое животное в мире – это жираф, который также живет в Африке. И жираф, и слон являются травоядными, т.е. едят только растительную пищу. Интересно, что крупнейший в мире хищник обитает в Арктике. Это полярный медведь, который считается одним из самых крупных, тяжелых и опасных диких животных. Его рацион, в основном, состоит из рыбы и мелких морских животных. А что касается самого большого морского млекопитающего, то это, конечно, синий кит.
