Test 2

Read the short text and decide if the statements below are true or false.

The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain in the late 1700s. Before this period, most goods were made by hand in small workshops or at home (the 'domestic system'). With the invention of new machines, production moved to large factories. While this led to more goods being produced faster, it also meant that many workers, including children, had to work 12 to 16 hours a day in dangerous conditions.

Test 3

3/3

What do you think Tim Berners-Lee’s answer (according to the AI) was to the question: “Are you disappointed by how social media is used today in 2026?”

"The reality of 2026 is that centralization works. Algorithms have become incredibly efficient at giving people exactly what they want, and if the price for that convenience is our privacy, most users have shown they are perfectly happy to pay it. It’s time to stop fighting the giants and enjoy the seamless, corporate-driven web we've built."

"While the Web's scale is a marvel, I am disappointed that the power has shifted from the individual to a few dominant platforms. We must return to a web where users control their own data and the medium serves the person, not the algorithm. It is not too late to fix it—but we must be intentional."
