Technology is everywhere. Computers and smart phones are at the center of almost everything we do. We text our friends during the day, sleep with our devices by our beds and check our messages as soon as we wake up.

In the future, technology will no longer interrupt(打斷) us all the time. Instead, we will use calm technology—it was first developed by scientist Mark Weiser in the 1970s.

Calm technology works quietly without stopping, at the edge of our attention. We know it is there, but we don't focus on it. According to Mark, the best technology should be invisible(無形的) and let you live your life.

We already use many different types of calm technology in our everyday lives. A smoke alarm checks the air for smoke and quietly keeps you safe. It only reminds you it's there when you've burned your toast! There may be lights at home or school that are sensitive to movement. When somebody passes by their sensor(傳感器), the lights turn on. Even a microwave oven is an example of calm technology. You're not standing at the stovetop heating your food: the microwave is doing it for you.

In the future, our houses will use calm technology to do a lot of things. For example, open the windows for us in the morning, turn down the heat when we leave, or even choose the best music for us. When we walk into the door, our house will turn on the lights, set the heater, and prepare for our dinner!

There was once a captain who loved money so much that he cheated his sailors at the end of every trip and took their wages.

On the last day of one trip, the ship was in a small port. It was winter time, and the sea was very cold, so the captain said to his sailors, “If one of you stays in the water during the whole night, I will give him my ship. But if he comes out before the sun appears, I shall get his wages.”

The sailors had heard about the captain’s cheating, so they didn’t believe in him. But then one of them, who thought that he was cleverer than the captain, said that he would do it. He got into the water and stayed in it although it was very cold. When it was nearly morning, some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away.

“You are cheating,” the captain said to the sailor, “The fire's warming you.”

“But it's half a mile away,” said the sailor. “A fire is fire,” answered the captain.

“Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages, but you can't cook a chicken,” said the sailor.

“I can,” answered the captain.

“If you cook this chicken,” said the sailor, “I shall work for you without wages for seven years, but if you can’t, you will give me your ship.”

The captain agreed, took the chicken and said, “Where's the fire?”

“There it is,” answered the sailors, “On the shore."

“‘A fire’s fire’, you said,” answered the sailor. “If it is enough to warm me in the water, it is enough to cook your chicken.”

The quick action of Nick helped five people escape a fire on Hope Road. Nick said he usually left his house about 5:30 a.m. to do morning exercises, but that day he decided to stay at home to get his daughter ready for school. As he looked at his neighbor’s house, he realized that it was on fire. “I saw smoke and flames and ran over and started beating on the side of the house, shouting, ‘Your house is on fire! Your house is on fire!’” Nick remembered it was at about 9 a.m. that the firefighters put out the fire.

Beverly Penny and her husband, Clark, along with their younger daughters, were sleeping in the living room next to the kitchen when they heard Nick beating on the walls. She opened the bedroom door and black smoke came in. She managed to get her kids out. Her dog tried to hide under the bed, but Penny caught it by the leg and threw it out of the door. However, chickens in one of the rooms weren’t so lucky.

Firefighters got the call at about 7:05 a.m. “When we arrived with our fire trucks, there were heavy flames outside on the house.” Jerry said. He called Nick a hero, saying that without his quick responses, the result could have been much worse. “The firefighters were fast,” Nick said, “They arrived here within about three minutes.”

“They did a great job and I can’t thank them enough.” Penny said, then looked at what remained in the house and shook her head as tears rolled down in her eyes. “Everything I have is gone. Luckily nobody was hurt in the fire.” She said the fire could have been caused by an electrical problem. “We’ve been having problems with mice, so that we could have had something to do with it.” she added.
