BRAZIL INDUSTRY
Rapid industrialization, beginning with Word War I, has characterized the most
recent phase of Brazilian's economic development. The cities of Sao Paulo, SP, Rio de
Janeiro, RJ, Recife, PE, and, later, Belo Horizonte, MG, Porto Alegre, RS and
Salvador, BA, have become important industrial centers. The steel plant Volta
Redonda, RJ, built in 1946 with technical and financial assistance from the United
States, is among the largest industrial projects in Latin America, and steel production
is rapidly increasing. Brazil also produces a great variety of manufactured goods, of
which textiles are the most important. Other products include all types of machinery,
automobiles, tires and other rubber commodities, aluminum articles, eletric appliances,
and shoes. The value of industrial production is only slightly less than of agricultural
production.
To serve these growing industries, electric production has been greatly increased. It
is estimated that Brazil, with its many vast rivers, has potential of 14,500,000 KW,
although only a fraction of this has yet been developed. The most import hydroelectric
power project is at Paulo Afonso on the São Francisco River.

skills in order to survive in the information Age. The Internet will be the necessary
basis for our everyday life.
How did the Internet start? Well, it really started in 1969, in a military project
in which 21 computers were linked. This means that a person in one of those
computers could read the files of any other computer in the same network. This
project was called ARPANET. Durnig the 70’s and 80’s, computer technology
developed very fast. Networks were developed, like the ARPANET.
Later on, modens allowed a persons to connect the computer to a telephone
line and “talk” to another computer in the same manner. A network could “talk” to
other networks. Today, millions of individuals are accessing the Internet daily.
The number doubles every 18 months.
