Why I dislike computers

Almost everyone says that computers are wonderful and that they are
changing our own lives for the better by making everything faster and
more reliable, but I'm not so much sure that this is the case.
The other day I was standing in a large department store until
waiting to pay for a couple of films for my camera when the assistant
announced that the computer which controlled the till it had stopped
working. I didn't think this was a big problem and I set myself off to
find another counter, but of course, all the machines are one part of
the same system. So there we were: a shop full of customers, money
at the ready, waiting to make our purchases, but it was quite clear 
that none out of the assistants knew what to do. They weren't allowed to
take our money and give to customers a written receipt, because the 
sales wouldn't then have been recorded on the computer system.
In the end, like with many other people, I left my shopping on the
counter and walked out. Don't you think so that's ridiculous? It would
never have happened before computers, and that, for me, is all the
problem: we are beginning to depend on these machines for so 
completely that we simply can't manage without them any more.

Computers (Past Simple vs. Present Perfect Simple)

Computers Since computers were first introduced to the public in the early 1980's, technology  has changed  a great deal. The first computers were  simple machines designed for basic tasks. They  did not have  much memory and they  weren't  very powerful. Early computers were often quite expensive and customers often  paid  thousands of dollars for machines which actually  did  very little. Most computers  were  separate, individual machines used mostly as expensive typewriters or for playing games.  Times  have changed . Computers have become  powerful machines with very practical applications.

Six sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-G the one which fits each gap. How the recycling symbol was created  Gary Anderson designed a symbol which we see everywhere nowadays I studied engineering at the University of Southern California at a time when there was a lot of emphasis in the United States on training young people to be engineers.

It was around that time that I saw a poster advertising a design competition being run by the Container Corporation of America. The idea was to create a symbol to represent recycled paper. One of my college requirements had been a graphic design course so I thhought I'd give it a go. It didn't take me long to come up with my design: only a day or two. 1.___.
