II. Read the passage below and choose the best answer from A, B, C or D

The loss of the jobs and persistent unemployment in the industrial countries is due

mainly to changes in technology. It is thought to be misleading to blame job losses on the

shift of corporations from the industrial countries to the Third World.

The present technological developments have been compared to a Third Industrial

Revolution. The first coming in the 19

^th

century, was characterized by the steam engine and

the use of coal. In the 1920s the second emerged with the use of oil and the electro dynamo.

The third, the present one, is driven by computers, biotechnology and information technology.

However, there can be seen weaknesses in the newest of industrial revolutions. The

technology is advancing so fast and productivity is rising so fast that we are left with a big

problem.. Because of the loss in jobs, caused largely by this new, technology, there will not

be enough people with money to buy all these products.

Technology as definitely enhanced our standard of living, even our quality of life. But as

the capacity to produce expands and the lack of purchasing power and consequent demand

diminish, there can be overproduction and recession, and what happens to our standard of

living?
