Wayne Fromm has been fascinated with photography since he was a kid. He used to develop his own prints and experimented with Polaroids and early video cameras. In 2002, he took his daughter on holiday to Italy. He wanted photos of them together, but if they took photos themselves, they always ended up with a head off-centre. In the end, they'd wait for a passerby who looked savvy enough to use Wayne's digital camera and were able to understand what they wanted without a common language. Then they had to deal with people walking in front of them while the photo was being taken. Wayne just thought: "There has to be an easier way." It took about 100 prototypes to get it right. Every pin, spring, lever, and gear had to be up to the job. He wanted each one to last 20 years and be able to withstand use under the sea or in the heat of the Sahara. b) Read the second part of the text and answer the questions. ot b 1. Were your guesses right? 2. Why did Wayne Fromm invent it? 3. Why do you think they became so popular? 4. Why was the selfie stick first used by skiers, paragliders, and divers? 5. What problems has the inventor encountered since his invention has taken off?

Answer

а) Прочитайте или прослушайте текст и ответьте на вопросы:

Wayne Fromm - фотограф из Whatcom, который в 2002 году придумал одну из самых популярных гаджетов двухтысячных.
Он изобрел популярный селфистик, который получил название Quik Pod, чтобы легче делать снимки с собой и скомпоновывать фотографии так, чтобы несколько людей вмещались на кадр.
Я использовал изобретение Wayne Fromm - селфистик, чтобы сделать фотографии с друзьями или себе, когда никого не было рядом для съемки.
Считается полезным, особенно для съемки групповых фотографий или фото на путешествиях, если нет постороннего человека, готового помочь сделать снимок.

b) Прочтите вторую часть текста и ответьте на вопросы:

Отгадали ли вы?
Wayne Fromm придумал его для облегчения фотосъемки в ситуациях, когда нет постороннего человека для этого.
Селфистик стал популярным благодаря удобству использования и спросу на фотосъемки в недоступных местах или без помощи других.
Селфистик сначала использовали лыжники, парапланеристы и дайверы, потому что им было трудно делать фотографии во время активного отдыха.
Проблемы, с которыми столкнулся изобретатель после популяризации селфистика: проблемы с патентами, конкуренцией и копированием продукта.
