T: You know that new technologies are upgraded every time. Can you imagine having
flexible computer screens and mobile phones which change shape to tell you when you
have a new message? It sounds like a crazy idea, but in fact it's already been invented!

1)T: Do the preparation exercise first. Then, read the text about Flexible screen
technology and do the exercises to check your understanding.

 Preparation
Match the vocabulary with the correct definition and write a – h next to the number 1 –
8.
1……. the screen a. completely different (to what has gone before)
2……. a laptop b. a card you need to have to get on a plane
3……. hardware c. a difficult but stimulating thing
4……. a boarding card d. a portable computer small enough to use on your knee
5……. a challenge e. easy to bend
6……. manufacturing f. the part of a TV, computer, etc. where the image is shown
7……. flexible g. making a large amount of something using machinery
8……. revolutionary h. the physical parts of a computer system
(Key:1. F 2. D 3. H 4. B 5. C 6. G 7. E 8. A)
 Reading
a) As thin as paper In the future, the mobile phone will be our flexible friend. It will
be able to change shape to tell us when we receive a message. A model called
MorePhone has been created by scientists at the Human Media Lab in Canada. It’s
based on flexible plastic technology developed in Cambridge in the UK by an
organisation called Plastic Logic. Rachel Lichten, who works at Plastic Logic,
describes how the scientists there have developed a process for manufacturing flexible
plastic displays which are as thin as paper. They copy the appearance of writing on
paper and use a type of plastic to create layers of electronic transistor
b) Screens you can jump on The flexible screens can be any size, and are easy to read
in direct sunlight. They can be black and white or colour and are very thin and light –
Lichten says you can even jump on them. They use very little power, so there is no
3
need for large batteries, and this makes them easy to carry around. Lichten says this
technology could be used for heart monitoring, smart-watches, second screens for
mobile phones – because the image does not disappear, your phone can keep your
boarding card details for a flight for example even when your phone’s battery is dying.
Plastic Logic is also working with a Japanese company who make giant electronic
signs.
c)Next generation of electronic gadgets Plastic Logic have spent 13 years
developing this new technology. Their challenge now is to help customers to think of
new ways to use it. Lichten says it is always the same with new technologies. She says
‘bringing new technology to the market is a challenge, especially because it is
revolutionary. However, for the next generation of products, you have to know what
the next generation of products will be.’ Working with mobile phones or laptops that
can roll up like a piece of paper could turn hardware into ‘flexi-ware’.
 Check your understanding: multiple choice
Circle the correct option to complete the sentences.
1. In the next ten years, mobile phones will _____.
a. be very similar to what they are like now
b. be much more expensive than they are now
c. have a different way of telling you when a message arrives

b. is not really so different
c. could make mobile phones very different
4
(Key: 1. C 2. A 3. B 4. B 5. B 6. C)

 Discussion
T: Do you think flexible screens are a good invention? Why or why not?
4) SPEAKING
(Technology “Microphone”)
T: Is it really interesting and useful to invent anything? Why? Are you ambitious
enough to invent anything useful? What it will be?
(Учні відповідають на питання)
T: Your dreams are interesting and unusual. Why do you think it’s difficult to invent
useful and important things?
2.5 Summarizing
T: You’ve got a lot of information about modern inventions. So, why do we need
them? You’ll work in groups trying colorful hats on.
