A witty answer

A man flying in a hot air balloon suddenly realizes he’s lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts to get directions, "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?"

The man below says: "Yes. You’re in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field."

"You must work in Information Technology," says the balloonist.

"I do" replies the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but It’s of no use to anyone."

The man below replies, "You must work in management."

"I do," replies the balloonist, "But how’d you know?"ґ

"Well", says the man, "you don’t know where you are or where you’re going, but you expect me to be able to help. You’re in the same position you were before we met, but now it’s my fault."

The oldest profession

An architect, a hooker and a programmer were talking one evening, and somehow, the discussion turned to which profession was the oldest. "Come on, you guys! Everyone knows mine is the oldest profession," said the hooker. "Ah," said the architect, "but before your profession existed, there had to be people, and who was there before people?" "What are you getting at, God?" The hooker asked. "And was He not the divine architect of the universe?" The architect asked, looking smug. The programmer had been silent, but now he spoke up. "And before God took on himself the role of an architect, what was there?""Darkness and chaos," the hooker said. "And who do you think created chaos?" the programmer said.

Tasks for self-assessment

Be ready to speak on the topic "Programming" using the following as a plan:

1. What is programming?

2. What "program" means?

3. What are the main components of a program?

4. For how long is a subroutine usually used?

5. What’s the purpose of a library of subroutines?

6. What is the main function of a programming language?

7. What’s the most primitive type of a programming language and what do you know about it?

8. What is specific about high-level languages?

9. Give the examples of programming languages.

10. What is software and its functions.

11. What is Internet and its role in our life.

Check your active vocabulary on the topic:
