My dad is very unique(独特的) because of his personality and lifestyle. For example, put his watch on his left hand, even though he's a lefty, and parking his car only in the garage is just his thing and doesn't change.

Alicia: What are you reading, George
George: I’m reading a magazine called Modern Science. There is an article about the development of the products that we use every day.
Alicia: What products does it talk about
George: For example, it says that the first remote control was invented by an American company, Zenith, in 1950.
Alicia: Oh, I never knew that the remote control was invented so early! That means people could sit in the sofa and change TV channels more than fifty years ago.
George: Yes, that’s true.
Alicia: It’s amazing. What about the first TV Does it say anything about it
George: Yes. The first TV was invented by John Logie Baird in 1924, although it looked very different from the TV we have today and could show only few moving objects. TV has been a very important invention in the twentieth century.
Alicia: I love watching TV. I can’t imagine life without TV.
George: There are many inventions that have changed our everyday life. One of them is the mobile phone.
Alicia: Do you know when the mobile phone was invented, George
George: It was invented in 1973, by Martin Cooper, an American engineer working for Motorola. With 30 years of development, mobile phones now look much smaller than the first one. Some can take pictures and send e-mails as well.
Alicia: How about the digital camera Does the article say anything about it
George: Yes. The first digital camera was invented in 1975 by an American too. He was Steven Sasson, an engineer in Kodak. It’s really wonderful that we can take as many pictures as we like with a digital camera.
