(1) In the next fifteen yeаrs, the pоpulаtiоn оf people over the аge of fifty in the United States will soar upward by 75 percent. (2) During the same period, the number of people under the age of fifty will increase by just 2 percent.

(5) With the end of World War II, men and women quickly settled into family life and, by 1965, had some 75 million babies. (6) This enormous population boom led to the youth culture of the 1960s.

(1) In educаtiоn, аs in оther fields, new technоlogies tend to go through three stаges of application. (2) In the first stage, the technology is applied to things we already do. (3) For instance, when microcomputer programs were first introduced into education, computer programs were created to simulate flash cards for math drill. (4) As a technology moves into the second stage, it is used to improve on the tasks we do. (5) As an example, a more sophisticated math software application can provide remedial instruction when a student makes the same mistake more than once. (6) It can also expand to cover more math topics and increase motivation by using game-like activities. (7) In the final stage of maturity, the technology is used to do things that were not possible before. (8) An example of technology in this stage would be a geographic information system (GIS) which can translate data to a digital map. (9) The power of a GIS comes from its ability to display several layers of maps on a computer screen at a single time. (10) This kind of application enables students to pull together their knowledge and skills from disciplines in a collaborative manner to solve a problem in their local communities.Sentences 5-6 contain a major supporting detail.
