As the pace of today’s working life blurs the line between personal time and work time, so it
increasingly mixes personal lifestyle and work style. And as companies concentrate on attracting
and keeping a younger workforce for its technical skills and enthusiasm for change, office
culture is becoming an extension of youth culture. This may be no bad thing. Along with the
company games room come things that matter deeply to young people: opportunity,
responsibility, respect. For most of human history the middle-aged have ruled. With years came
wisdom, experience, connections and influence. Rarely did they change jobs, years of loyal
service counted most. However, in the future, older workers will not disappear, or even reduce in
numbers, but they will have to share power with fresh-faced youths.
There have been a number of reasons for this change; the most dramatic of these is technology.
Children have always been more expert than their parents at something, but usually a game or a
fashion, not the century’s most important business tool. The Internet has triggered the first
industrial revolution in history to be led by the young. This is the age group that created
Netscape, the first commercial web browser; Napster, the music-sharing technology that shocked
the music industry; Yahoo! and many of the other web giants.
In many companies, rigid seniority-based hierarchies have given way to hierarchies based on
merit.No longer are the abilities to navigate internal bureaucracies and please your superiors the
most valued skills. Today’s employees are free agents who stay with companies only as long as
they feel challenged and rewarded; moving from job to job is now a sign of ambition and
initiative. Today’s young people are valued as workers for different reasons than their
predecessors: they welcome change; they think differently; they are independent; they are
entrepreneurial; they want opportunity more than money and security and finally, they demand
respect.

the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Even if the term ‘appropriate technology’ is a relatively new one, the concept certainly isn't. In
the 1930s Mahatma Gandhi claimed that the advanced technology used by western industrialised
nations did not represent the right route to progress for his homeland, India. His favourite
machines were the sewing machine, a device invented 'out of love', he said, and the bicycle, a
means of transport that he used all his life. He wanted the poor villagers of India to use
technology in a way that empowered them and helped them to become self-reliant.
More recently the term 'appropriate technology' has come to mean not just technology which
is suited to the needs and capabilities of the user, but technology that takes particular account of
environmental,ethical and cultural considerations. That is clearly a much more difficult thing to
achieve. Often it is found in rural communities in developing or less industrialised countries. For
example, solar-powered lamps that bring light to areas with no electricity and water purifiers that
work simply by the action of sucking through a straw. But the principle of appropriate
technology does not only apply to developing countries.
It also has its place in the developed world. For example, a Swedish state-owned company,
Jernhuset, has found a way to harness the energy produced by the 250,000 bodies rushing
through Stockholm's central train station each day. The body heat is absorbed by the building's
ventilation system, then used to warm up water that is pumped through pipes over to the new
office building nearby. It's old technology – a system of pipes, water and pumps - but used in a
new way. It is expected to bring down central heating costs in the building by up to twenty per
cent.
Wherever it is deployed, there is no guarantee, however, that so-called 'appropriate
technology' will in fact be appropriate. After some visiting engineers observed how labour-
intensive and slow it was for the women of a Guatemalan village to shell corn by hand, they
designed a simple mechanical device to do the job more quickly. The new device certainly saved
time, but after a few weeks the women returned to the old manual method. Why? Because they
valued the time they spent hand-shelling: it enabled them to chat and exchange news with each
other.
In another case, in Malawi, a local entrepreneur was encouraged to manufacture super-
efficient woodburning stoves under licence to sell to local villagers. Burning wood in a
traditional open fire, which is a common method of cooking food in the developing world, is
responsible for 10-20% of all global CO2 emissions, so this seemed to be an excellent scheme.
However the local entrepreneur was so successful that he went out and bought himself a whole
fleet of gas-guzzling cars. 'We haven't worked out the CO2implications of that yet,' said a
spokesman from the organisation that promoted the scheme.
