NEW TECHNOLOGIES

There are some new technological inventions that have a lot of pros, but that also have some cons, and very often people don’t see them. They are the smart phones, I-pads, computers, and the like.

There are a lot of pros: they make our lives easier because we have a lot of information in a very short time. If we want to know the meaning of a word, the location of a place to visit, or the weather forecast, we simply google it and get instant information, with photos, and videos… We can be in contact with people who are in a different city, or country. We can store a lot of information that people couldn’t or was very difficult to save some years ago. Nowadays it is easy to download and save music, photos, emails…

But there are also some cons: we can be obsessed about their use; we have less privacy.

If our smart phone, Ipad, or computer breaks down, we lose all the information we have stored, as well as our work. They are also very expensive and very fragile.
