Now one company has decided toembrace that image--it has named its product "Mother".The device, from a firm called Sense, caught my eye at a press preview for the 2014 ConsumerElectronics Show in Las Vegas, in part because of its unique design. It looks like a cross betweenWALL-E's girlfriend EVE and Russian nesting dolls. Mother has slightly creepy glowing eyes--butsurely has your best interest at heart? Mother's potential use is intriguing: Each Mother unit talkswirelessly to a set of smaller tracking devices, dubbed cookies, which can sense motion andtemperature. You can put cookies on things and people--on your body to gather data about how muchyou walk, on your coffee machine to track many espressos you drink, on your front door to trackwhenever it is opened, on your toothbrush to see how often and how long you brush ... and so forth.Whenever the cookies get close to the Mother unit, they wirelessly send back their data to theInternet.The company says users of Mother, which is supposed to start shipping in the spring, will beable look at all their information at once, or drill down on certain topics. And if something is reallyimportant, you can have an alert sent to your phone when a sensor detects a change.So what does all that data do for you? That's a question that bedevils many Internet of Thingsgadgets on display here at CES. Mother's makers say the data she tracks can help you gain peaceof mind by answering specific questions in your life, such as,"Am I drinking enough water?" or,"Did somebody open my secret drawer?"Lots of companies want to connect parts of your body, home and life to the Internet--a trendcalled the "Internet of Things". Mother's maker, Rafi Haladjian, told me he thinks having separatedevices for all these things is too expensive and too cumbersome because they can't talk to eachother."There are not so many needs that are worth $200" for a distinct Internet-connected device,he said.Mother, which costs $222 for a base unit and four cookies, is designed to be repurposed asnew challenges or needs spring to mind, he said. It's kind of like a mobile device that can run anever-changing array of apps.Where did the name come from? "We need a device that does all sort of things," Haladjiansaid. "The metaphor that matched this noble caring figure is the mother. She is not a nurse, agardener or a cop--she is everything at the same time."What are the disadvantages of "Things of Internet" according to Raft Haladjian?查看材料

For example, it has been suggested that the employment of women in industry takethem out of the. household, their traditional sphere and fundamentally alter their position in society.In the nineteenth century, when women began to enter factories, Jules Simon, a French politician,warned that by doing so, women would give up their femininity. Fredrich Engels, however,predicted that women would be liberated from the"social, legal, and economic subordination" ofthe family by technological developments that made possible the recruitment of "the whole femalesex .., into public industry." Observers thus differed concerning the social desirability ofmechanization's effects, but thev agreed that it would trmsiorm women's lives.Historians, particularly thnse investigating the history of women, now seriously question thisassumption of transforming power. They conclude that such dramatic technological innovations asthe spinning jenny, the sewing tnachine, the typewriter, and the vacuum cleaner have not resultedin equally dramatic social changes in women's economic position or in the prevailing evaluation ofwomen's work. The employment of young women in textile mills during the Industrial Revolutionwas largely and extension of an older pattern of employment for young, single women as domestics.It was not the change in office technology, but rather the separation of secretarial work, previouslyseen as an apprenticeship for beginning managers, from administrative work that in the 1880'screated a new class of "dead end" jobs, thenceforth considered "women's work". The increase inthe numbers of married women enployed outside the home in the twentieth century, had less to dowith the mechanization of housework and an increase in leisure time for these women than it didwith their own economic necessity and with high marriage rates that shrank the available pool ofsingle women worke, previously, in many cases, the only women employers would hire.Women's work has changed considerably in the past 200 years, moving from the household tothe ofiice or the factory, and later becoming mostly white-collar instead of blue-collar work. Fundamentally, however, the conditions under which women work have changed little since the Industrial Revolution: the segregation of occupatious by gender, lower pay for women as a group,jobs that require relatively low levels of skill and offer women little opportunity for advancement all persist, while women's household labour remains demanding. Recent historical investigation has led to a major revision of the notion that lec.hnology is always inherently revolutionary in its effectson society. Mechanization may even have slowed any change in the traditional position of womeu both in the labour market and in the home.Why did the numbers of married women employers increase in the 20th century?查看材料
A．The mechanization of housework.B．The married women have much spare time.C．The employers don't want to hire the single women.D．Because of their own economic uecessity and high marriage rates.
