Question

1- Read the text:

The inventor of the walkman.

Andreas Pavel´s history proves that life is not easy for inventors. He waited for twenty-seven years

to be recognized as the inventor of the walkman.

Pavel invented the walkman in São Paulo, in 1972. He transformed earphones and tape recorders

into the “Stereobelt”, to be able to listen to his favorite singers, Janis Joplin and Orlando Silva.

Although Pavel patented his invention in Italy, in England and in the United States, Sony ignored the

law and realeased the walkman as its own invention. It was a great success.

In 1999, a court finally acknowledged Pavel as the inventor of the walkman. He made a settlement

with Sony for about ten million dollars. In addition, he is going to receive royalties until 2021.
