The Lookworld is constantly at the pictures going of the events. Which onethrough do you thinkchanges. Look has affected the worldat some the most? Discuss with a partner. important events that have changed the world and affected the lives of many people in modern times. THE UNIFICATION OF THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA King Abdulaziz, a gifted leader, was responsible for the legendary event that marked the beginning of modern Saudi Arabia. In 1902, he regained Riyadh, beat the city garrison, took the Masmak Fortress, and established his headquarters in the city. He expanded Saudi Arabia to include all of the Hijaz, Makkah and Madinah and united all the tribes. On September 23, 1932, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was officially established, with Arabic as the national language and the Holy Qur’an as its constitution. King Abdulaziz initiated the building of infrastructure and set Saudi Arabia on the road to modernization. THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - UAE The federation of the United Arab Emirates, known as UAE, consists of seven sheikhdoms; Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras Al-Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain. The city of Abu Dhabi in Abu Dhabi is the capital. The UAE was officially established in 1971. It came after the discovery of enormous oil reserves in Abu Dhabi in 1958. The UAE dirham, a single national currency, was launched in 1973. The oil revenues as well as income from other commercial activities have been used to develop a thriving economy and social infrastructure. Abu Dhabi now hosts its own grand prix at Yas Marina Circuit and Dubai is home to the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa. THE SPACE RACE The Russians launched the world’s first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, on October 4, 1957. Next, Sputnik 2 went up into space on November 3. The Americans won the race to land on the moon more than ten years later—with Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969. “This is one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind,” said astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon. His Royal Highness Prince Sultan bin Salman Al Saud flew on STS-51G Discovery in June 1985 as the representative of the Arab Satellite Communications Organization (ARABSAT). He was the youngest person to fly on the Space Shuttle at the age of 28.* THE COMMUNICATIONS REVOLUTION The first communications satellite, called Telstar, was launched from Cape Canaveral on July 10, 1962. This marked the start of rapid transmission of TV signals over wide areas. What we take for granted today—satellite television, cellular telephones, wireless and high- speed Internet connections, and so forth—were part of science fiction only 40 years ago. Teenagers today are the first real citizens of the digital world. Unlike their parents, they have grown up in a world in which electronic delivery of information and entertainment is natural and more accepted than conventional forms like the newspaper, tape, or film. * Adapted from: Wikipedia contributors.

How the Internet has changed the world It all started in 1969 when a student at the University of Stanford tried to log in to a university computer, from his home in Los Angeles. This gave scientists the idea that people could communicate through computers, instead of posting letters or talking by telephone. Many scientists researched ways to try and do this. In 1990 Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Dailliau succeeded. They created a system for people to communicate with each other and find out information using computers. In the beginning, they called it the “Worldwide Web”. They changed the name to “The Internet” later. The Internet started with a few basic websites and e-mail. At first, it was used mainly by scientists, governments and the military. Now, more than 30 years later, there are more than four and a half billion users of the Internet (about half of the world’s population!). E-mail, instant messaging and online video calls connect people across the globe for business, education and social purposes. Social networks allow people to communicate with large numbers of friends, and upload pictures and videos to share. Information is accessible to everyone online. All you need to do is ‘Google’ a few key words and you get numerous sites and documents. We can also now learn via the Internet. People can attend university or courses online and obtain academic and professional qualifications. 14 MG_01_COMBO_TEXT_2024.indb 14 30/4/24 2:00 AM  C.
