Nelson Mandela was regarded as one of the greatest leaders in the world. He died at the age of 95. He became his country’s first black president after 27 years in prison. Do you want to know why he spent so many years in prison? Read more and find more facts.

When Nelson Mandela was a young man, white and black people in South Africa lived separate lives. White people, who were a small part of the population, were in charge of the country. At that time, it was illegal for black people to use the same schools, hospitals, and even beaches as white people. Mandela was lucky. He was one of the few black people in the 1950s of South Africa to receive education and become a successful lawyer.

Nelson Mandela believed that everybody should be treated equally. He joined some different demonstrations to fight against a system called apartheid.

Sometimes the demonstrations turned violent and in 1962 Mandela was sent to a prison which was on Robben Island. But many people around the world campaigned for his release. Songs were written and big concerts were held in protest. Finally in 1990 the South African President FW de Klerk--a white man--allowed him to go free.

Computers are very important to modern life. Many people think that in the future computers will be used a lot in everyday life. Maybe we won’t have to go shopping because we will be able to buy most things on the Internet.There will be fewer books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games and see films. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too.

Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating(交流). Others do not think that computers will replace（代替）our old ways.

Let’s take books for example. Some people think that one day we won’t read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books by using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won’t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized books（電子圖書）will be used more and more.

Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is pleasant to go into shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also impossible that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers won’t change these two habits.
