02. De acordo com o texto, a nova empresa KINÉIS

Kinéis will be working with manufacturers to produce hundreds
of thousands of small transmitters that can bounce simple messages
off its satellite network. A new computer chipset is being produced
that can be used in these beacons. Unlike the existing ARGOS chipsets,
the new processor will also permit two-way communication, to change
electrical settings on a piece of remote equipment, for instance.
Kinéis has been created by CLS (Collection Location Satellites)
of Toulouse, which has run ARGOS - a kind of “Internet of Animals”
- since 1986. ARGOS has enabled scientists to attach small tags to
animals to track and study their movements. The creatures, such as
birds, polar bears, seals, and turtles, report their position and simple
data on their environment.CLS, with its partners, including the French
space agency, CNES, intends now to take this system to a whole new
level. Kinéis, also based in Toulouse, will assume the operation of
ARGOS and introduce many more services to be run across its coming
constellation.

THE SWEDES REBELLING AGAINST A CASHLESS SOCIETY
Sweden is winning the race towards becoming the world’s first
completely cashless society, but there are growing concerns it’s causing
problems for the elderly and other vulnerable groups.
None of the High Street banks around Stockholm’s spotless
Odenplan square handle cash any more.
You can only pay for your coffee and cinnamon bun by card
or with your smartphone at the local branch of the country’s largest
cafe chain. And there’s no chance of using coins or notes if you want
to hop on one of the shiny blue busses whizzing past.
Yet for Swedes there’s nothing unusual about how cashless
this inner city neighbourhood has become in recent years. The vast
majority of the nation’s banks have long stopped allowing customers
to withdraw or pay in cash over-the-counter.
Only a quarter of people living in Sweden say they use cash at
least once a week and a boom in mobile, card and online payments
has resulted in the proportion of cash transactions in the retail sector
dropping from around 40% in 2010 to 15% today, according to
the central bank. However, while Sweden’s rush to embrace digital
payments has received plenty of global hype, and is frequently flagged
as an example of the Nordic nation’s innovation, there are growing
concerns about the pace of change.
Some worry about the challenges it poses for vulnerable
groups, especially the elderly. “As long as there is the right to use cash
in Sweden, we think people should have the option to use it and be
able to put money in the bank,” says Ola Nilsson, a spokesperson for
the Swedish National Pensioners’ Organisation, which is lobbying the
government on behalf of its 350,000 members. “We’re not against
the cashless society, we just want to stop it from going too fast.”

da Suécia em uma sociedade “sem dinheiro vivo” se dá
A) pelo fato dos idosos e outros grupos vulneráveis não saberem

C) porque somente 25% dos suecos admitem usar dinheiro vivo
pelo menos uma vez por semana, preferindo fazer pagamentos
por meios virtuais.
D) em função da velocidade com que a mudança está
acontecendo, o que prejudica os idosos e outros grupos
vulneráveis que têm dificuldade em acompanhar o ritmo da
implantação da novidade.
E) face ao risco que correm idosos e outros grupos vulneráveis
de serem ludibriados ao usarem meios virtuais para proceder
transações econômicas por não serem tão familiarizados com
a tecnologia aplicada.

LONG BEFORE TECH BROS, SILICON VALLEY HAD A HIGHLY
DEVELOPED SOCIETY
There was a point in time, before colonization, when the
San Francisco Bay Area was dominated by a people with a way
of life and philosophy that did not revolve around technology or
technological improvement.
5 Five hundred years ago, this swath of northern California
was populated by the Ohlone peoples, about 10,000 of whom
lived in the stretch of land that we call the San Francisco Bay Area.
So rich in plant and animal life was this region that the Ohlone
were able to survive without farming or animal domestication;
10 indeed, western explorers, when they eventually arrived, were
amazed at the quantity of wild animal life.
The Ohlone lived off acorns from all the different varieties
of oaks, blackberries and gooseberries, chia, shellfish and the
roots of many plants. They hunted squirrels, rabbits, elk, bear,
15 whale, otter and seal. They did not “farm” in the western sense
of the word, though they had a complex knowledge of how to
use controlled burns to cultivate plant and animal food sources.
Though they are called Ohlone now, at the time they did
not think of themselves as a contiguous group: There were at least
20 eight different languages between their small tribelets, each one
spoken by about a thousand people. One might walk 20 miles
