2. Some pieces of technology are more important for us than others.
1) What piece of technology couldntaskt people below live without? Why are they important for these people? (reading/listening for specific information)
I couldntaskt live without my computer at home.
I use it all the time. It is like a typewriter and address book for me and it is also used for checking my spelling. Besides I can go on the Internet* and discover everything about anything, ittasks a brilliant source of information. Itaskve designed my own website and Itaskm getting loads of information for school. Besides some websites are packed with quizzes, games and competitions, ittasks all you need for hours of fun on your computer. You can play and learn on it. It is absolutely essential. I dontaskt know how I ever managed without it. But my elder sister thinks people are getting a bit too dependent on computers. She thinks that we rely on them too much. My sister says, taskYou cantaskt rely on all the information, you dontaskt know who it has been written by or where ittasks coming from. To be dependent on anything, especially a lifeless machine, that can quite easily break down, is not good. Besides computers shouldntaskt replace seeing your friends."
Kate
I couldntaskt possibly live without my car. Convenience seems to be the most common and most logical answer: cars take you where you want to go and when you want to go there. I can travel freely and comfortably wherever I want. Besides it allows me to live where I want as I can easily get to the place I need with the help of the car. Besides a car is a way of self-expression. I really hate to be without it. I think a car is a necessity rather than a luxury. But my wife thinks there are too many cars in our cities. Some people use them in cases when they could go on foot for example when going to buy a newspaper in a kiosk. Ittasks necessary to give thought to problems caused by cars. Pollution, accidents and so on. She says that cars are useful but not essential and ittasks nice when cars are banned from the central shopping areas. I dontaskt agree with such situation but I have to accept it. My wife prefers to go to work using intercity transportation system. She says that during the rush hour, a trip from our home to her work by car takes much more time than a trip on foot. But I prefer to use my car. It suits me.
John
I couldntaskt imagine my life without my phone or I should say phones because Itaskve got a mobile, too. I need a telephone to get in touch with my friends or to call the police or an ambulance. It is almost impossible for me to live without my phones. At home Itaskve got a cordless telephone, I think it saves time when you have a receiver just at hand. But my mum was against buying a cordless phone because if there is some problem with electricity it wontaskt work and youtaskll be totally lost. She also thinks that it is a luxury to have a mobile, it is too expensive, it is more trouble than ittasks worth. Besides she says that mobiles are dangerous for health. The rays may cause headaches and even more dangerous diseases. I dontaskt believe her. For me my telephones are really invaluable.
