20．These days we are all conditioned to accept newness，whatever it costs．Very soon，there is no doubt that Apple's tablet （平板电脑） will seem as a vital tool of modern living to us as sewing machine did to our grandparents．At least，it will until someone produces an even smarter，thinner and more essential tablet，which，if recent history is any guide，will be in approximately six months'time．Turn your back for a moment and you find that every electronic item in your possession is as old as a tombstone．Why should you care if people laugh just because you use an old mobile phone？But try getting the thing repaired when it goes wrong．It's like walking into a pub and asking for an orange juice．You will be made to feel like some sort of time-traveler from the 1970s．"Why not buy a new one？"you will get asked．
And so the mountain of electrical rubbish grows．An average British person was believed to get rid of quite a number of electronic goods in a lifetime．They weighed three tons，stood 7 feet high，and included five fridges，six microwaves，seven PCs，six TVs，12 kettles，35 mobile phones and so on．Even then，the calculation seemed to be conservative．Only 35 mobiles in a lifetime？The huge number of electronic items now regularly thrown away by British families is clearly one big problem．But this has other consequences．It contributes greatly to the uneasy feeling that modem technology is going by faster than we can keep up．By the time I've learnt how to use a tool it's already broken or lost．I've lost count of the number of TV remote-controls that I've bought，mislaid and replaced without working out what most of the buttons did．
And the technology changes so unbelievably fast．It was less than years ago that I spotted an energetic businessman friend pulling what seemed to be either a large container or a small nuclear bomb on wheels through a railway station．I asked．"What have you got in there？Your money or your wife？""Neither，"he replied，with the satisfied look of a man who knew he was keeping pace with the latest technology，no matter how ridiculous he looked．"This is what everyone will have soon-even you．It's called a mobile telephone．"
I don't feel sorry for the pace of change．On the contrary，I'm amazed by those high-tech designers who can somehow fit a camera，music-player，computer and phone into a plastic box no bigger than a packet of cigarette．If those geniuses could also find a way to keep the underground trains running on the first snowy day of winter，they would be making real progress for human beings．What I do regret，however，is that so many household items fall behind so soon．My parents bought a wooden wireless radio in 1947，the year they were married．In 1973，the year I went to university，it was still working．It sat in the kitchen like an old friend-which，in a way，it was．It certainly spoke to us more than we spoke to each other on some mornings．When my mum replaced it with a new-style radio that could also play cassette-tapes，I felt a real sense of loss．
Such is the over-excited change of 21st-century technology that there's no time to satisfy our emotional needs．Even if Apple's new products turn out to be the most significant tablets I very much doubt if they will resist this trend．
 
50．When you try getting an old mobile phone repaired，B．
A．you are travelling through time            B．you are thought to be out of date
