The Future Cars:
Read the following passages and answer the Question uestions that follow. The Future Cars The story ‘The Fun They Had’ takes us to the world of the future where children study in a virtual classroom. The learning is through computer software or the Internet, or by a robotic teacher.
Many exciting new technologies would continue to transform the world and improve human welfare. Here are two of them. When these become reality, the then generation may ask with surpirse, “People were driving the cars!
Self-driving Cars:
Self-driving cars exist today that are safer than human-driven cars in most driving conditions. Over the next 3-5 years, they will get even safer and be in the mainstream. Just as cars reshaped the world in the 20th century, so will self-driving cars in the 21st century. In most cities, about 20-30% of usable space is taken up by parking spaces, and most cars are parked about 95% of-the time.
Self-driving cars will be in almost continuous use (most likely hailed from a smartphone app.), thereby, dramatically reducing the need for parking. Cars will communicate with each other to avoid accidents and traffic jams, and riders will be able to spend commuting time on other activities like work, education and socialising.
Drones and Flying Cars:
“Roads? Where we’re going we don’t need … roads ?” Dr. Emmet Brown GPS (Global Positioning System) which started out as a military technology is now being used to hail taxis, get mapping directions, etc. Likewise, drones had started out as a military technology, but are increasingly being used for a wide range of consumer and commercial applications. For example, drones are being used to inspect critical infrastructure like bridges and power lines, to survey areas struck by natural disasters, and many other creative uses like fighting animal poaching.
There are startups that use drones to deliver medical supplies to remote villages that can’t be accessed by road. There is also a new wave of startups working on flying cars including two funded by the cofounder of Google, Larry Page. Flying cars use the same advanced technology used in drones but are large enough to carry people. Due to advances in materials, batteries and software, flying cars will be significantly more affordable and convenient than today’s planes and helicopters.(Adapted from ‘11 reasons to be excited about the future of technology’, by Chris Dixon, 19 Aug. 2016, Business Insider India)
Question 1.
How will the self-driving cars or driverless cars be safe?
Answer:
The self-driving cars or driverless cars will be safe because they will avoid accidents and traffic jams. There will be no human victims due to accidents as they will be unmanned. Then they will also communicate with each other.
Question 2.
What do you understand by cars will communicate with each other’?
Answer:
By this I mean that driverless cars shall communicate or be in contact with each other while serving and/or being motionless in the parking mode.
Question 3.
What are the advantages of self-driving cars?
Answer:
The most important advantages of self-driving cars will be avoiding accidents and traffic jams. They will spend commuting time on other activities.
Question 4.
What is the use of GPS?
Answer:
The use of Global Positioning System (GPS) will be to hail taxis and get mapping directions.
Question 5.
What is a drone ? What are its advantages?
Answer:
A’ drone is an unmanned small aerial vehicle that is controlled through a remote from the ground. Its advantages are numerous. It will carry small loads of material while flying in the air. It will deliver articles’of a certain weight without any hassles. Drones will also be used to ipspect critical infrastructure like bridges and power lines. These will also survey areas struck by natural disasters.
Question 6.
Which technology will be used in flying cars?
Answer:
Military technologies will be used in flying cars.
Question 7.
How will the flyipg cars be more convenient than planes and helicopters?
Answer:
The flying cars shall be more convenient than planes and helicopters because these shall be more affordable.

Humanoid Robot, Sophia Back In India
Not all of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s legion of fans are human beings. One is a humanoid robot.

When asked how she felt being in India, she said she had visited mahy places in the world? but Hong Kong continues to be her favourite place, because she was born there and has been with the Hanson Robotics family.
She hopes that someday she would be in a position to express here emotional feelings. In response to the question, “How much money has she invested in Bitcoin ?”, she replied, “Well, I am just two-years old. It’s not the legal age to open a bank account”, sending the audience into peals of laughter.
Speaking to media later, Hanson said he hopes that a fully grown and matured robot with body-mind coordination would become a reality in another five or ten years. On his journey with Sophia in the last two years, he said it was a great progress. “I have developed affinity to the robot whose facial expressions resemble that of my wife”, he said.
David asserts that robots would never be a thing of worry for mankind. “They will be friends. There should be mutual trust and respect between humans and robots”, he says. Currently, Sophia is the only robot that interacts with people.(Source: Adapted from ‘Humanoid Robot Sophia back in India’, Hindustan Times, e-paper updated: 21 Feb. 2018)

Listening:
The following two excerpts have been taken from the book, Tuesdays with Morrie, written by Mitch Albom.
The book is about a college Professor, Morrie and one of his students, Mitch Albom, Who is also the author of the book. Mitch sees his professor in a television show and he is reminded of a promise he made sixteen years ago as his student, to keep in touch with him. He comes to know that the professor is stricken with a rare and incurable disease. Mitch travels a long distance to meet him and after the first meeting they meet every Tuesday till Morrie passes away. After reconnecting with his teacher, Mitch finds himself his teacher’s pupil once again.
Listen attentively to the two excerpts from the book, Tuesdays with, Morrie and answer the Question that follow. You can listen to the re-corded excerpts or you can ask your teacher, friend or sibling to read aloud these excerpts.
1. I remembered what Morrie said during our visit: “The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn’t work, don’t buy it”. Morrie, true to these words, had developed his own culture – long before he got sick. Discussion groups, walks with friends, dancing to his music in the Harvard Square Church.
He started a project called Greenhouse, where poor people could receive mental health services. He read books to find new ideas for his classes, visited his colleagues, kept up with old students, wrote letters to distant friends. He took more time eating and looking at nature and wasted no time in front of TV sitcoms or “Movies of the Week”. He had created a cocoon of human activities – conversation, interaction, affection – and it filled his life like an overflowing soup bowl.
2. The last class of my old professor’s life took place once a week in his house, by a window in the study where he could watch a small hibiscus plant shed its pink leaves. The class met on Tuesdays. It began after breakfast. The subject was “The Meaning of Life’. It was taught from experience.
No grades were given, but there were oral exams each week. You were expected to respond to questions, and you were expected to pose question of your own. You were also required to perform physical tasks now and then, such as lifting the professor’s head to a comfortable spot on the pillow or placing his glasses on the bridge of his nose. Kissing him goodbye earned you extra credit. No books were required, yet many topics were covered, including love, work, community, family, aging, forgiveness and, finally death.
Question 1.
Who is Morrie?
Answer:
Morrie is a college professor in a college.
Question 2.
How did Morrie develop his own culture of living ?
Answer:
Morrie developed his own culture long before he got sick. He developed discussion groups, walks with friends and dancing to his music in the Harvard Square Church. He started a proj-ect called ‘Greenhouse’ where poor people could receive mental health services. All these filled his life with human activities like interaction, affection etc.
Question 3.
What was the name of the project Morrie had started? What was it about?
Answer:
The project was called ‘Greenhouse’. It was about poor receiving mental health services.
Question 4.
What did human activities mean to Morrie?
Answer:
These meant to Morrie conversation, interaction, affection etc. These aimed at making the people happy and fulfilled.
Question 5.
Why was the subject of the class ‘the meaning of life’?
Answer:
The subject of the class “The meaning of Life’ was because it was taught from real living expe-rience of life. The subject covered every human activity to make human life rich with human values. The topics covered were love, work, community, family, aging, forgiveness, death etc.
Speaking:
Question 1.
Prepare a speech for the school assembly based on the thoughts given below. Once we have computer outlets in every home, each of them hooked up to enormous libraries, where you can ask my Question and be given answers, you can look up something you’re interested in knowing, however silly it might seem to someoiie else.
Mn are only as good as their technological development allows them to be. Write your points here for speech. Note: Students should write their points for speech here. The full speech is given below, as desired.
Answer:
Worthy Principal, Teachers and Students
Today I, Vijay, of class IX stand before you to speak on an important aspect of the present day life – every home to be connected with a computer outlet. The modern times are essentially of innovative techniques and equipments. if the humans are not aware of their uses and don’t use them, they may lag behind others in the human race. One innovative modern facility is like this.
Imagine that every house is connected with a computer outlet and it is further connected with enormous libraries and one poses questions and gets replies Such a kind of technological advancement will both be exciting, entertaining and educative. It means that we can ask any questions that we may like – humorous, funny, informative or the like.
This all will mean, you see, that the entire world of knowledge is or will be at our disposal. In this way science will be of immense use to human activity. We shall all explore every dimension of human life and every field of life. You will agree with me that such a scientifi’c and technological advancement will open up a kind of magicality and marvels. Life will then be most likable, entertaining and enjoyable.
But as George Orwell says such a kind of world will be as good as their technological development allows them to be. It means all this sort of technological advancement is liable to be misused by the humans who have an inclination towards evil. I hope you know it very well that man has a binary nature. If he is good he is evil also.
Today’s technological advancement in weaponary is a beautiful example of this side of human mind. We are sitting on a volcano of destruction by atom bombs and nuclear warfare. What we need is to ensure human well-being and welfare. Modem gadgetry should be subservient to human welfare and well-being. Thank you very much.
Question 2.
The chapter “The Fun They Had” presents different perspectives on school and education. Think of the various alternatives. Prepare and give a speech in class presenting your views on how best can students be educated. Discuss why you would prefer to be taught by both human teacher and a robot.
Answer:
Worthy Teacher and Dear Students Today I, Rohit of Class IX, stand before you to speak on how best students can be educated and why I would prefer to be taught. You all know the mechanical teacher in “The Fun They Had” and Margie’s sadness and unwillingness to be taught by a mechanical teacher. Well, I personally feel that we, the students, can best be educated through a balance of human teachers and other electronic gadgets similar to the mechanical teacher.
Margie is greatly dissatisfied, to sit before her mechanical teacher at its giving out learning material after material. Her attraction towards the schools of our times is borne by the fact that she knows about them from the book. Such schools have their own values as compared to, the ‘schools’ of the mechanical teacher. She, therefore, aspires for a real school. She wants to go to such a real school as we, at present, go.
I personally feel that Margie is right in her reactions. I feel that we, the students, shall better be educated through a system where human teachers teach the real students and are aided by electronic gadgets. In being taught by human teachers we leam many basic human values like mutual love, affection, togetherness, sense of kindness, humility, help, sympathy etc. Since human teachers show these values through their characters and conduct, they easily impact us.
After all, the real aim of education is to make good human beings. If we are taught by a TV teacher we shall not leam these and without these life will be uninteresting and boring as Margie’s life is. So I would love to be taught by a human teacher because his being at this pedestal synchronises with our age old culture. Our teachers are like our parents and they never fail to guide their students for a better future for all. Thank you all.

Write a paragraph on each of the following:
• Electronic Waste and Environmental Pollution
• Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.
• After listening to the excerpts (Page No. 14 of the workbook), do you think a robot should replace the human teacher ? Give reasons in support of your answer.
Answer:
Electronic Waste and Environmental Pollution Electronic waste, popularly known’as ‘e-waste’ are electronic equipment having power plug or batteries and have become obsolete due to the introduction of better substitutes, tech-iftiological advancement, changes in tastes and preferences of consumer’s, style and status, or nearing the end of their useful life. Some common equipment considered as e-waste are obsolete computers, monitors, TVs, mobiles, calculators, audio devices, computer peripherals, refrigerators, air conditioners, Washing machines, DVDs, CDs, mother boards, sirens, security devices, automobile electronic devices, etc.
Electronic waste is the latest environmental challenge which the world is threatened with. With the widespread use of computers and electronic equipment, people are dumping old electronic goods for new ones. This further increases the threat of e-waste, E-Parisaraa, an eco-friendly recycling unit on the outskirts of Bangalore which is located i in Dabaspet industrial area, about 45 Km north of Bangalore, makes full use of e-waste.
This plant is India’s first scientific e-waste recycling unit. It aims at reducing pollution, landfill waste and recover valuable metals, plastics & glass from waste in an eco-friendly manner. India needs simple and low-cost technology keeping in view of maximum resource recovery in environment friendly methodologies.
Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Human beings have more intellectual power than any other animal on the planet. Undoubt-edly, artificial intelligence will bring remarkably constructive things with it. The important thing to remember is that there are always two sides of a coin. There are certain events in which application of a robot can actually turn out to be much more efficient as compared to a human being. Still, it is the human discretion that controls, operates and directs the use of robotic technology.
In every kind of industry that makes an extensive use of artificial intel-ligence, human input, interaction and judgment is irreplaceable for an artificially intelligent machine. Robots have capabilities much more than a human being but lack emotions. Com-passion, love, sympathy, kindness are all characteristics of a human being not any humanoid robot. Thus, even though robots are the future of the world, the future of mankind is nonethe-less are humAnswer:
Do you think a robot should replace the human teacher?
- Yes
- Less prone to error
- Unlimited knowledge on any subject
- Does not get exhausted by the end of the day
- Can be programmed according to the needs of each individual student
- No
- Will impart only what is prescribed in the syllabus
- Does not understand the emotional issues of students
- Does not involve the students in interesting activities
- Cannot apply alternative teaching methods according to needs of the students
- Cannot read and understand the handwriting of different students
- Cannot help the students in identifying their hidden talents
Question 2.

The Managing Director,
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA),
Washington DC – 20546001.
United States of America.
Sub: Concerns about the damage caused by debris in Space
Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to raise my concerns regarding the burning issue of unprecedented increase of debris in the space. Late twentieth century and early twenty-first century have witnessed an unhealthy space race among the developed and developing countries. Though the competition was started by the USA and erstwhile USSR, many countries joined in this competition. Of late, India also became a prominent member of this group.
The destruction that may cause by these freely moving space debris is unpredictable and beyond our imagination. More than 5 hundred thousands pieces of debris or space junk that travel at more than 17,500 mph can damage the satellites in the space. The debris can damage International Space Station and other space crafts with humans in it.
Large quantities of space junk end up staying in various orbits around Earth, threating satellites, as well as fu-ture missions beyond Earth’s vicinity to asteroids the Moon, the Mars and beyond. Enormous amount of money would be lost if that happens. Much of the debris is so small that it cannot be tracked making it all the more dangerous. Accidents have happened in the past and acci-dents will happen in future unless space debris is controlled effectively.
I humbly request your esteemed organisation and in particular your good office to look into this matter seriously and release advanced guidelines on how to use the space without polluting it. Space has to be preserved for the future generation too.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,

Question 1.
Several UFOs have been sighted over the years. Try to get more information from the internet. Work in a group of four and write about five sightings and write whether you believe in these sightings. Why/Why not? Present your project to the entire class.
Answer:
Are we alone ? Unfortunately none of the answers feels satisfactory to be alone in this vast Universe. On the other hand, if we are not alone and there is someone or something more powerful out there that is too terrifying. The sighting of an UFO is very interesting and it has been reported that since 1947 one Or the other has seen an UFO.
On June 24th 1947, Pilot Kenneth was flying his private airplane over the pacific Northwest when he suddenly realized he was not alone in the sky. In 1990, the narrative of direct internation grew to its most extreme with thousands reporting that they had been abducted by aliens. In December 2017, ‘The New York Times’ published an account involving the U S. Navy fighter pilots and their encounter with an UFO.
The incidents happened between 2004 and 2015 involving the Navy Pilots. If there is some life existing in the universe then we can believe, but the scientists have shown us that there is no life in our Galaxy but they can’t say anything about other Galaxies. So, we have no way of believing those theories till we experience it personally.
