Two Decades of Genius

William Shakespeare was born in 1564, six years after Queen Elizabeth ascended the throne. The son of a Stratford-on-Avon tradesman, a glovemaker, he was educated at one of the grammar schools.

Little is known of his life until his plays began to appear when he was 26.

The first of his 38 main plays, the historical plays, began to be performed in the decade 1590—1600.

Also in this decade a number of his comedies were perform­ed. In the following decade, marked by the end of Elizabeth's reign and the accession of James I came the great tragedies — «Hamlet», «Othello», «Macbeth», «Lear», «Antoney and Cleopatra».

At the end of his career on the London stage before he retired to live in comfort in his native town two more plays came.

He died in 1616.

New Russian Dictionary

A 17-volume dictionary of Russian literary language and grammar from Pushkin's time to the present day has been published in Leningrad.

In contains 120,480 words, their history, word formation, spelling and pronunciation, but excludes dialects, obsolete words and special scientific and technical terms. The dictio­nary is the result of 15 year-work by a number of noted linguists, philologists and experts in other fields.

Let's have a look at the history of computers. The first general-purpose electronic digital computer came out in the USA in 1946. It was called ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer). ENIAC contained about 18,000 vacuum tubes, weighed more than 30 tons, occupied more than 1,500 square feet of floor space, and con­sumed 150 kilowatts of electricity during operation. The first-gene­ration computer performed about 5,000 additions and 1,000 multi­plications per second and was slow in comparison with modern Machines. In the late 1950s the second generation of computers appeared and these performed work ten times faster than the first computers. The reason for this extra speed was the use of transistors instead of vacuum tubes. The third-generation computers appeared in 1965. They performed a million calculations per second, which was 1000 times as many as first-generation computers. Now tiny inte­grated circuits controlled computers.

By the late 1960s many large businesses depended on computers. Many companies linked their computers into networks and that made it possible for different offices to share information. During this time computer technology improved rapidly. In the 1970s there appeared a microprocessor. And in 1975 American engineers devised the first personal computer, Altair. Millions of individuals, families and schools began to use PCs.

Present-day computers complete millions of instructions per second. Some experts predict that a new generation of intelligent machines will process data with the help of beams of laser light, rather than electric current. They say that these computers will store data on individual molecules and that virtual reality will play a large role in education.
