For most of us,we thought that Galileo Galilei was the inventor of telescope because this is what our science teachers have told us and^this is what wv have read in our books.But truth is that we are wrong because even if Galileo was one of the greatest astrono?mers this planet has ever produced,he was not the one who invented the telescope. So who invented the telescope is a question that has been puzzling us.
The answer to the question on who invented the telescope is Hans Lippershey. He was the one who invented the telescope and his invention has greatly contributed to the world of astronomy and science. The telescope is used not only in discovering the world outside our planet such as the stars*planets and other objects but even in our daily lives.
Now when we go back to the question on who invented the telescope,this guy named Hans Lippershey was the cause for a big change in our world. He was born in Germany and built his home in the Netherlands. When Italians came up with glass technique that was introduced to the Netherlands,such development has brought new ideas and progress and people then began to try out different ways of creating lenses (镜片) .It was in 1608 that telescopes were invented.
After the invention,telescopes were then produced in numbers and were spread across Europe and eventually in America and Asia. The early telescopes can only in?crease the size of an object thrice (三倍) its original size. But the present telescopes can view objects that are light years away and can see even tiny objects.

As we know,it's the beginning of the end for TV. Apple has released Apple TV,a tiny white box that connects the shows and movies you've downloaded from the computer,and wirelessly (无线地) sends them to your TV screen.
No longer will you have to pay a monthly fee to your cable (有线的) company to watch your favourite show. Apple's iTunes has made it possible to download a TV show for about $ 2,keep it stored on your computer and watch it whenever you want. It's a blow to the cable networks,which offer services that are often expensive and make hundreds of channels and thousands of shows nothing to watch.

Global offered Survivor: Cook Islands on?line,and CTV is doing the same for Degrassi：The Next Generation t And cable companies say that video on demand and personal video recording technology can compete with the Net.
"You watch when you want it," says Michael Lee,adding that the Net doesn't give viewers the opportunity to just sit on the couch and flip (浏览) through chan?nels.
