GREEN BANK
THE TOWN WITHOUT WI-FI
●Can you live without wi-fi or smartphones?
For young people in Green Bank, West Virginia, in the US, the answer is, "Yes, I can." People use landlines to make phone calls and the Internet doesn't connect quickly or easily.
●Why doesn't Green Bank have modern technology?
There's an important and huge telescope(望远镜) there, but scientists need it to study space. It's a radio telescope and it listens carefully for radio signals (信号) from planets, for example. Wi-fi and smartphones can stop these and then the telescope can't pick up the radiosignals clearly.
●What do teenagers in Green Bank do without wi-fi?
They study in the town's library and help their parents on their farms. In their free time, they play sports and go kayaking(皮划艇). Green Bank school has got a robotics club. They build great robots and their team is the winner of West Virginia.
