Q:Why is it new age of invention instead of “old”
Interviewer: Good evening, and welcome to Between the Pages. This evening, I’ll be talking to Dr Richard Fairhurst, whose new book The New Age of Invention has just been published. Welcome, Richard!
Richard: Thank you. It’s a pleasure to be here.
Interviewer: I guess you have been asked about the title of your book before. It suggests that the present day is a new age for inventions, but many people might think that the great age of invention is over.
Richard: Well, that’s an interesting point. There have been golden ages of invention throughout history. Think of the four great inventions in Ancient China: gunpowder, papermaking, printing and the compass. These things changed the world forever. Then there were the great Western inventions: the steam engine, the telephone and the radio. And now, we find ourselves in the great new age of technology.

Tip：pay attention to the word “now”.

The new age of invention
1. New age of ______________
technology
Why is it new age of invention instead of “old”
inventions.
Interviewer: Impressive stuff! I’ve also been told that you’re an inventor yourself. Is that correct
Richard: Yes, I am, but I’m only one member of a big team – most inventors now work as part of big international teams.
Interviewer: I see. So what is it that inspires us to invent things
Richard: Most inventions start with recognizing a problem that needs a solution. This was no doubt the reason behind the invention of the wheel in ancient times, which much later developed into the car. Now, reduced energy supplies and environmental pollution have led to more advances in the technology of new energy vehicles. But what remains important is that we have an incredible desire to think and create, and that’s the real spirit of invention.
