FAMILY HISTORY

Line 1 In an age which technology is developed faster than ever before,

2 many people are being attracted by the idea of looking back into the
3 past. One way they can make this is by investigating their own family
history. They can try to find out more about what their families came

Calls for authors to get fairer share of publisher profits
Philip Pullman has called on publishers to (1) ________ damaging “the ecology of the book

Speaking in his capacity as president of the Society of Authors, the His Dark Materials
author hit out at the fact that while (2) _______ margins in publishing are rising, the money
authors are paid is (3) ________ down.

“To allow corporate profits to be so high at a time when author earnings are markedly falling
is, apart (4) _________ anything else, shockingly bad husbandry. It’s perfectly possible to
make a good profit and (5) ______ a fair return to all of those on whose work, after all,
everything else depends. But that’s not happening at the moment,” said Pullman. “I like
every individual editor, designer, marketing and publicity person I deal with; but I don’t like
what publishers, corporately, are doing to the ecology of the book world. It’s damaging, and
it should change.”
Pullman’s comments came in an (6) _________for the Bookseller magazine by Society of
Authors chief executive Nicola Solomon, in which Solomon described how major publishers
(7) _______ as Simon & Schuster and Penguin Random House are reporting profit margins
of around 16%, while authors – (8) ______, according to a 2016 European commission

publisher turnover in 2016, (9) ___________ to her calculations.
“(10) _______ everyone in the publishing house was paid, publishers’ shareholders received
up to three times the amount paid to authors. And authors still had to pay their own expenses
and agents,” wrote Solomon, acknowledging that while “publishers may contest these
numbers … we cannot break down these figures between publishers because they do not
publish authors’ share”.

A LONG AND HEALTHY LIFE?

How long will a baby born today live? 100 years? 120 years? Scientists are studying genes
that could mean long life for us all.
There are already many, many people who have passed the landmark age of 100. In fact,
there are now so many healthy, elderly people that there’s a new term for them: the
wellderly. These are people over the age of 80 who have no diseases such a high blood
pressure, heart disease or diabetes and have never taken medicines for these conditions.
There have been many scientific studies of communities where a healthy old age is typical.
These include places like Calabria in southern Italy and the island of Okinawa in Japan. The
small village of Molochio in Calabria has about 2,000 inhabitants. And of those, there are at
least eight centenarians. When researchers ask people like this this the secret of their long
life, the answer is almost always to do with diet and is almost always the same. ‘I eat a lot of
fruit and vegetables.’ ‘A little bit, but of everything.’ ‘No smoking, no drinking.’
Whilst in the past scientists have looked at things such as diet and lifestyle for an explanation
of long life, these days they are investigating genetics. Once such researcher is Eric Topol,
8
who says, ‘There must be genes that explain why these individuals are protected from the
aging process.’
The new research into long life looks at groups of people who have a genetic connection. For
example, one group of interest lives in Ecuador. In one area of the country there are a number
of people with the same genetic condition. It’s called Laron syndrome. The condition means
that they don’t grow to more than about one metre, but is also seems to give them protection
against cancer and diabetes. As a result, they live longer than other people in their families.
Meanwhilst, on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, there’s another group of long-lived men,
Japanese-Americans. They have a similar gene to the Laron syndrome group.
Back in Canada, scientists are trying to work out exactly how much of the longevity is due to
genetics and how much to environment. By checking public records going back to the 29 th
century, researchers have reconstructed the family trees of 202 nonagenarians and
centenarians. They concluded that there were genetic factors involved. And they seemed to
benefit the men more than the women – a surprising result because generally in Europe, there
are five times more women centenarians than men.
So what really makes people live longer? It seems likely that it is an interaction of genes, the
environment and probably a third factor – luck.

PAPER or COMPUTER
A Computer technology was supposed to replace paper, but that hasn’t happened. Every
country in the western world uses more paper today, on a per-capita basis, than it did ten
years ago. The consumption of uncoated free-sheet paper, for instance-the most common
kind of office paper-rose almost fifteen per cent in the United States between 1995 and 2000.
This is generally taken as evidence of how hard it is to eradicate old, wasteful habits and of
how stubbornly resistant we are to efficiencies offered by computerization.
B Economists at the I.M.F spend most of their time writing reports on complicated
economic questions, work that would seem to be perfectly suited to sitting in front of a
computer. Nonetheless, the I.M.F is awash in paper, and Sellen and Harper wanted to find
out way. Their answer is that the business of writing reports – at least at the I.M.F – is an
intensely collaborative process, involving the professional judgments and contributions of
many people. The economists bring drafts of reports to conference rooms, spread out the
relevant pages, and negotiate changes with one another. They go back to their offices and jot
down comments in the margin, taking advantage of freedom offered by the informality of the
handwritten note. Then they deliver the annotated draft to the author in person, taking him,
page by page, through the suggested changes. At the end of the process, the author spreads
out all the pages with comments on his desk and starts to enter them on the computer –
moving the pages around as he works, organizing and reorganizing, saving and discarding.
C Without paper, this kind of collaborative, iterative work process would be much more
difficult. According to Sellen and Harper, paper has a unique set of ‘affordances’ – that is,
qualities that permit specific kind of uses. Paper is tangible: we can pick up a document, flip
through it, read little bits here and there, and quickly get a sense of it. Paper is spatially
flexible, meaning that we can spread it out and arrange it in the way that suits us best. And
it’s tailorable: we can easily annotate it, and scribble on it as we read, without altering the
original text. Digital documents, of course, have their own affordances. They can be easily
searched, shared, stored, accessed remotely, and linked to other relevant material. But they
lack the affordances that really matter to a group working together on a report.
D Paper enables a certain kind of thinking, for instance, the top of your desk. Chances are
that you have a keyboard and a computer screen off to one side, and a clear space roughly
eighteen inches square in front of your chair. What covers the rest of the desktop in probably
piles – piles of paper journals, magazines, binders, postcards, videotapes, and all the other
11
artifacts of the knowledge economy. The piles look like a mess, but they aren’t. When a
group at Apple Computer studied piling behavior several years ago, they found that even the
most disorderly piles usually make perfect sense to the piler, and office workers could hold
forth in great detail about the precise history and meaning of their piles. The pile closest to
the cleared, eighteen-inch-square working area, for example, generally represents the most
urgent business, and within that pile the most important document of all is likely to be at the
top. Piles are living, breathing archives. Over time, they get broken down and resorted,
sometimes chronologically and thematically; clues about certain piece of paper at an angle or
inserting dividers into the stack.
E But why do we pile documents instead of filling them? Because piles represent the
process of active, ongoing thinking. The Psychologist Alison Kidd, whose research Sellen
and Harper refer to extensively, argues that ‘knowledge workers’ use the physical space of
the desktop to hold ‘ideas which they cannot yet categorize or even decide how they might
use.’ The messy desk is not necessarily a sign of disorganization. It may be a sign of
complexity: those who deal with many unresolved ideas simultaneously cannot sort and file
the papers on their desks because they haven’t yet sorted and filed the ideas in their head.
F Sellen and Harper arrived at similar findings when they did some consulting work with
a chocolate manufacturer. The people in the firm they were most interested in were the
buyers – the staff who handled the company’s relationships with its venders, from cocoa and
sugar manufacturers to advertisers. The buyers kept folders (containing contracts,
correspondence, meeting notes, and so forth) on every supplier they had dealings with. The
company wanted to move the information in those documents online, to save space and
money, and make it easier for everyone in the firm to have access to it. That sounds like an
eminently rational thing to do. But when Sellen and Harper looked at the folders they
discovered that they contained all kinds of idiosyncratic material – advertising paraphernalia,
printouts of e-mails, presentation notes, and letters – much of which had been annotated in
the margins with thoughts and amendments and they write ‘perhaps most important
comments about problems and issues with a supplier’s performance not intended for the
supplier’s eyes.’ The information in each folder was organized – if it was organized at all -
according to the whims of the particular buyer. Whenever other people wanted to look at a
document, they generally had to be walked through it by the buyer who ‘owned’ it, because it
simply wouldn’t make sense otherwise. The much advertised advantage of digitizing
documents – that they could be made available to anyone, at any time – was illusory:
documents cannot speak for themselves.
G This idea that paper facilitates a highly specialized cognitive and social process is a far
cry from the way we have historically thought about the stuff. Paper first began to proliferate
in the workplace in the late nineteenth century as part of the move toward ‘systematic
management.’ To cope with the complexity of the industrial economy, managers were
instituting company – wide policies and demanding monthly, weekly, or even daily updates
from their subordinates. Thus was born the monthly sales report, and the office manual and
the internal company newsletter. The typewriter took off in the eighteen-eighties, making it
possible to create documents in a fraction of the time it had previously taken, and that was
followed closely by the advent of carbon paper, which meant that a typist could create ten
12
copies of that document simultaneously. Then the secretary would make ten carbon copies of
that schedule and send them out to the stations along your railway line. Paper was important
not to facilitate creative collaboration and thought but as an instrument of control.
