В любом списке великих мыслителей истории можно найти имя великолепного физика Альберта Эйнштейна. Его теории относительности привели к абсолютно новым восприятиям времени, пространства, материи, энергии и гравитации. Работы Эйнштейна привели к таким научным достижениям, как контроль за атомной энергией и исследования космоса. Эйнштейн родился в Ульме, Германия, 14 марта 1879 года в еврейской семье. Он был скромным и любознательным ребенком. Он учился в начальной школе Мюнхена, где проявил интерес к науке и математике, но не успевал в других областях учебы. Он окончил старшие классы средней школы и технический колледж в Швейцарии.В 1905 году, когда ему исполнилось 26 лет, он опубликовал пять главных исследовательских работ в важном немецком журнале физики. Он получил степень доктора за первую из них. Публикация следующих четырех работ навсегда изменила взгляд человечества на Вселенную. Одна из его работ обосновала фотонную или квантовую теорию света. Телевидение и другие изобретения являются практическим применением открытий Эйнштейна. В своих работах Эйнштейн показал, что время и движение относительны к наблюдателю, если скорость света считать постоянной, то и законы природы одинаковы во всей вселенной. Его четвертая работа была математическим дополнением к особой теории относительности. Здесь Эйнштейн представил свою известную формулу Е = тс2, известную как отношение энергии — массы. В 1916 году Эйнштейн опубликовал свою общую теорию относительности. Мировая известность пришла к нему в 1919 году, когда Королевское общество в Лондоне объявило, что его общая теория относительности подтвердилась. Через два года ему была присуждена Нобелевская премия в области физики. В 1940 году он стал американским гражданином. Эйнштейн умер в Принстоне 18 апреля 1955 года.

Any list of the greatest thinkers in history will contain the name of the brilliant physicist Albert Einstein. His theories of relativity led to entirely new ways of thinking about time, space, matter, energy, and gravity. Einsteins work led to such scientific advances as the control of atomic energy and to some of the investigations of space. Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany, on March 14, 1879, of Jewish parents. He was a shy and curious child. He attended a Munich elementary school where he showed an interest in science and mathematics but did poorly in other areas of study. He finished high school and Technical College in Switzerland. In 1905, at the age of 26, he published five major research papers in an important German physics journal. He received doctorate for the first paper. Publication of the next four papers forever changed mankinds view of the universe. One of his papers laid the foundation for the photon, or quantum, theory of light. Television and other inventions are practical applications of Einsteins discoveries. In his works Einstein showed that time and motion are relative to the observer, if the speed of light is constant and natural laws are the same everywhere in the universe. His fourth paper was a mathematical addition to the special theory of relativity. Here Einstein presented his famous formula E = mc2, known as the energy-mass relation. In 1916 Einstein published his general theory of relativity. World-wide fame came to him in 1919 when the Royal Society of London announced that his general theory of relativity had been confirmed. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics two years later. In 1940 he became an American citizen. Einstein died in Princeton, on April 18, 1955.

I suppose everybody considers modern technologies to be significant in our everyday life.  Nowadays people can't imagine their lives without new devices.  They are everywhere in our everyday life.

Almost nobody washes the clothes by hand.  Almost everybody has a mobile phone. All modern offices are equipped with computers, scanners, printers, and other self-operating machines. The rapid rise of using the Internet is the reality of our time.

  But I think modern technologies can be dangerous to some extent for people because mankind becomes too dependent on them. We and our children depend on how 'clever' appliances work. But, it isn’t always healthy to use them for a long time. Sitting long hours in front of the computer is bad for the eyes and causes back problems. They say cell phones contain negative vibes that influence human organism.

Most people are sure that new technologies are good. Thanks to computers and the Internet we can find more educational resources in no time. Such electronic items as vacuum-cleaner, washing machine, microwave, dishwasher, blender and a lot of others have made our life easier. It's really true.  We can't but agree to it.  I am not against new technologies.  But in my opinion, nowadays the modern world relies too much on them.

In conclusion, I’d like to say that technological progress can be dangerous to some extent for humankind and for surrounding nature too. So it's necessary to make modern devices safer and cheaper for people to use them and make the people's life happier and more pleasant.
