Read the following passage and put the verbs in the correct form, present perfect or past simple. (13) Then and now Twenty years ago, few people realized (realize) that computers were about to become part of our daily lives. This short period of time has seen (see) enormous changes, in business, education, and public administration (öffentliche Verwaltung). Jobs which (take) weeks to complete in the past, are now carried out in minutes. Clerks (Angestellte/Beamte) who (spend) all day copying and checking calculations are now freed (befreit) from these tedious (mühsam) tasks. In offices, the soft hum and clicking of word processors (replace) the clatter of typewriters. Schoolchildren (become) as familiar with hardware and software as their parents (be) with pencils and exercise books. Computerization of public records (enableermöglichen) governments departments to analyze the needs of citizens in detail. Some of us may wonder, however, whether life_ (really improve) as result of these changes. Many jobs (disappear), for example, when intelligent machines (take) over the work. Employers complain that clerical staff (Büropersonal) (become) dependent on calculators and cannot do simple arithmetic. There are fears that governments (not do) enough to ensure (sichern) that personal information held on computers is really kept secret. Certainly, many people may now be wondering whether the spread (Verbreitung) of computers (bring) us as many problems as it (solve). My guess: points out of 60.5 points
