Computers and Mobile Phones

1. There are many great inventions, every one of them important for its time. First it was the discovery of fire, then the invention of the wheel. Later it was electricity, the telegraph and the computer.
2. My personal opinion is that every invention has its time, and the Internet is the greatest invention of our time.
3. Technology is an important part of our lives. We use computers and other electric equipment at work and at home. Technological advances are changing our lives very rapidly. Nowadays we can't do without such gadgets as mobile phones, PCs, digital tape recorders, air conditioners, fax machines and so on.
4. Many people feel ill without their laptop, computers or GPS navigation systems. Today, of course, they are everywhere and we have become so dependent on them that many people almost feel naked without one.
5. It is much easier to do housework nowadays, thanks to electric equipment such as microwave ovens, washing machines and so on.
6. In my opinion, the mobile phone is a very useful device. Thanks to it, I can access people I need to speak to and I can never miss anything important. If I need some help, I just call my friends and they rush to rescue me.
7. If I have a meeting and I'm late, I can send an SMS with my excuses. It is very fast and convenient. What is more, with the help of my mobile phone I can access the Internet, send and receive photos and video, play games, listen to music and so on.
8. Speaking about the Internet, I can also use my computer. Computers help us do the most difficult sums and investigate complicated data. People do business, communicate and do the shopping via the Internet.
9. However, many people say that technology makes us lazier and weaker.
10. For example, such technological developments as the telephone and the Internet have made communication much easier, but they can cause the loss of social interaction. A lot of people prefer communicating through a keyboard than face to face.
11. To sum up, a mobile phone is very useful because it gives us the freedom of movement. It has made communication much easier.
12. Computers are great tools for education.  There are lots of online websites which are extremely useful for students to gain extra knowledge. Plus there are many forums too for students which can be used for consulting with other students or experts.
13. So, it is not easy to do without computers and phones because they make our life comfortable and save our time. They also provide us with some entertainment and allow us to keep in touch with people.
