Workshop “Products and services”

La lectura es una de las habilidades más utilizadas en el mundo, pero a la vez

es la menos motivante, dado que en ocasiones hay textos muy extensos y con
vocabulario complejo que dificulta su comprensión y le resta interés al texto;
afortunadamente existen nuevos métodos que facilitan obtener la información
necesaria y con ello aumentar el léxico personal.

En este orden de ideas y con la finalidad de cumplir con el propósito de esta

evidencia, consulte el material complementario denominado Integration of
products and services.

Luego de esta consulta, resuelva el siguiente taller sobre comprensión lectora:

1. Find the main idea of paragraphs 1, 2, 9, 10, 11, and 12, and write
them in a paragraph.

The main idea of these paragraphs is that of how technology can bring about a
great advance in the growth of an economy. They talk about how innovation
and the resurgence in new technologies can bring and achieve a very good
benefit and solutions for large and small industries.

2. Write a summary of ten lines from the text.

The current world is advancing rapidly and with this advance new tools are
required that allow growth and the best development of activities.
In this advance, the implementation of high technology leads to a great
globalization allowing to have a great appeal to the consumer and adding an
added value to our good or service.
Large economies and industries should implement this type of tool since it is
changing the way we interact and communicate with each other. This could lead
to great benefits since the good or service would be available to the consumer
at the desired time.

3. Choose a paragraph and translate it with your own words.

The internet and digital communications are general purpose technologies,

transforming economies as profoundly as the printing press, steam engine or
electricity have done in the past. Against this backdrop,it is important to
understand that there is no such thing as a ‘digital economy’ – the
economy is digital. Far from being the exclusive domain of technology
startups, every company, particularly in traditional industries, needs to prepare
for digitisation.Yet, on balance; European companies have been slow to adapt:
41% of enterprises are still classifiable as ‘nondigital’– meaning they do not use
digital technologies and have no digital strategy – while only 2% take full
advantage of digital opportunities

El internet y las comunicaciones digitales son tecnologías que transformas

economías como lo ha hecho en el pasado la imprenta eléctrica. Es importante
comprender que no existe la “Economía Digital” la economía es digital. Las
industrias tradicionales necesitan prepararse para la digitalización. Un balance
en las compañías europeas tienen un 41% están clasificadas como “no digital”.
Solo el 2% aprovecha las oportunidades digitales.
