input: Please answer the following: Man: It's this week New Scientist. Why? Woman: I was just wondering. It looks interesting. But I've never actually read myself. It's for real scientists, or can ordinary people like me understand it? Man: Always for anyone, really. It usually has articles or stories about current affairs about science, as well as papers about new development in research. I'm reading about new telephone that allows you to see the person you are speaking to as well as see him. Woman: Oh, I heard about it. Is it on the market yet? Can I buy one? Man: No. Not this one. But the company has made other models to try on business. This one is special because its color and image is moving. Woman: Oh, that's interesting. Man: You see the first video phones. That's what they are called. They made in Japan. But they can only show still black and white image. So this video phone is much better than that. Mind you, I'm not sure I want one, would you? Woman: Well, no, I don't think a word. I bet it costs a lot of money. Did it say how much it costs? Man: Yes. The yearly black and white one costs several hundreds pounds. But one in the story is about to cost several thousands pounds. Woman: Hmm, what does anybody want one, do you think? Man: Business organizations that need frequent contact overseas want it. It's like a face-to-face conversation, so maybe a lot of overseas travels can be avoided. Woman: Yes, I suppose so. What was said before this conversation?
