D: Hi, Laura. It’s good to see you because I’m so bored. My homework is about information Technology but I know everything there is to know about IT.
L: Come off it. Dave. I think I might know more than you.
D: OK. Let me test you! Here’s the first question. What’s information technology?
L: Gosh, that’s easy! It’s computers, of course.
D: Ah! That’s just where you’re wrong. It includes books, radio and TV as well.scriptL: Really! Well, I never.
D: Question number 2. Which is the most popular form of IT in the world?
L: Well, that must be computers this time.
D: No, it’s books. Think of all those people in developing countries without computers. Their only form of IT is books!
L: Oh dear! I’m not doing very well.Part B
D: Here’s the third question. Which form of IT is the best for describing the skills of a sport

L: Goodness! Wrong again!
D: Here’s the last question? Which form of IT has the most functions?L: This time I must be right. It’s the computer, of course.
