TEXT I - The First Web Browser
The first web browser was called WorldWideWeb, and later changed its name to Nexus. Created by Sir Tim Berners-
Lee, it was released in 1990, and at least gave people a basic way to view web pages. But it was a long way from the
immersive online experience we have today.
Without browsers, the internet as we know it today would be impossible. Before the first popular graphical browser,
Mosaic, was released in 1992, the internet was text-based, bland, and required technical knowledge to use. Because
of this, the number of people who had the ability and the interest to use the internet was limited. Mosaic helped make
the internet ubiquitous. The graphical interface made navigating the web easy to understand and the ability to display
graphics next to the text on websites made web pages more interesting to browse.
And people no longer needed to have deep technical knowledge to be able to go online. With more people online,
companies were quick to follow. E-commerce, online sweepstakes, social media, and many other things we take for
granted today would be impossible without internet browsers.

TEXT V
Ada for software engineering
The Ada language is complex because it is intended for developing complex systems, and its advantages are only
apparent if you are designing and developing such a system. Then, and only then, will you have to face numerous
dilemmas, and you will be grateful for the Ada constructs that help you resolve them. (…)
Programming in Ada is not, of course, a substitute for the classical elements of software engineering. Ada is simply
a better tool. You design your software by drawing diagrams of the package structure, and then each package becomes
a unit of work that you assign to an engineer. The effects caused by incompetent engineers, or by personnel turnover,
can be localized. Many, if not most, careless mistakes are caught by type checking during compilation, not after the
system is delivered. Code inspections can focus on the logical structure of the program, because the consistency of
the conventions and interfaces is automatically checked by the compiler. Software integration is effortless, leaving
you more time to concentrate on system integration.
Though Ada was originally intended for critical military systems, it is now the language of choice for any critical
system. As off-the-shelf software packages become themselves more complex and are used in critical applications,
