     In 1863, in an effort to reduce street traffic, London opened the world’s first underground line, the Metropolitan Railway. Its birth can be traced back two decades before to the building of the world’s first under-river tunnel below the Thames, which swiftly became both popular with pedestrians and a huge tourist attraction.

      Initially, what would become the London Underground consisted of tracks dug slightly below the surface and then covered over, but as the technology improved, and trains switched from steam-powered to electric, the lines went deeper. Now the ground beneath Londoners’ feet hums with an extensive network of Tube lines ferrying people about the city speedily, efficiently — and out of sight. 

      Along with trains, powerlines, pipes, and cables, there’s another piece of infrastructure some have long wished to bury — roads. To some, these thick asphalt ribbons crisscrossing countries and cleaving apart communities and ecosystems no longer seem fit for purpose. As they sprawl longer and wider in the hopes of speeding up traffic, congestion ticks upwards and cars continue to pollute the air and spew greenhouse gases.

      No one has suggested burying every single one of the world’s roads. But what would happen if we did relocate them all below the surface? In a time of increasing urbanization, soaring inequality and climate crisis, imagining the impact this could have raises important questions about how our global transport system is developing — and prompts us to consider where we really want it to go.


What if all roads went underground? Internet: <www.bbc.com> (adapted)

      There are several things to keep in mind when determining what field of IT to go into. Keep an eye on job websites to see which jobs are most in demand. Keep in mind that for many jobs described in an ad, there are several levels of positions available. For instance, there are “junior”, “senior”, and “lead” software developer positions available. 

      Be honest with yourself. If you don’t have previous experience, good contacts, or a good degree from a well-known university, you may want to apply for a lower-level job first. Also, find out what the job you are seeking typically pays in your area. If you are young, unemployed or are struggling financially, try and keep your salary expectations a bit lower than the average. That may improve your chances of getting hired. 

      Once you have work experience, then you will be in a good position to ask for more money. Sometimes the best way to get more money is to quit your job and work for another similar company. This may sound cruel or thankless, but that’s how business works in the real world. 

      Everyone who works hard deserves a raise every year. How do you show your IT manager that you are a good performer? Easy. Show up on time, be dependable, be active in the meetings, and always do a little bit more than is asked of you. Also, equally important is to be well-liked by members of your team. 

      One thing to bear in mind is the importance of learning something new every day. IT is an area where people are judged largely by how much they know. There are some things you can do to increase your worth to your company, like learning a new programming language or studying to be a project manager. Also, meeting company goals can have beneficial results when it’s time to renegotiate salaries, survive a round of layoffs, or get a promotion.
