Nowadays a lot of people cannot live without cellphone, they sit, they lay down on a bed, they are on the subway, even though when they are walking on the street they bow their head and look at their cell phone. It’s crazy that a couple or friends are not talk to each other when they sit face to face. Everyone seems to be immersed in his/her own world. It’s not a good phoneme but on the other side, it bring us some convenience.
Our new technology makes the small machine to do anything we can imagine. It is assembled all kinds of functions such like reading as a book, listening as a mp3, taking pictures as a camera, we can use it to pay money by finger print, we can use it as remote control, we can also use it to calculate the steps you have walked in a day! How amazing!
Anything is a double-edged sword, we should use our cellphone more properly and start to talk with our families and friends to make a good relationship.

ask yourself: what time? 

when they are walking, they talk
they are walking and talking

Nowadays a lot of people cannot live without cellphones. When they sit down, lie in bed, on the subway, even when they walk on the street, they bow their heads and look at their cell phones. It’s crazy that a couple or friends don’t talk to each other when they sit face to face. Everyone seems to be immersed in his/her own world. It’s not a good phenomenon but on the other hand, it brings us some convenience.
Our new technology makes the small machine do anything we can imagine. It is assembled with all kinds of functions such as reading like a book, listening as a music player, taking pictures as a camera. We can use it to pay money via finger print, as a remote control, to calculate the steps we have walked in a day! How amazing!
Anything can be a double-edged sword. We should use our cellphones properly and start to talk with our families and friends to make good relationships.

It is an unfortunate fact that these days, a huge number of people are unable to live without their mobiles / cells. Even when in bed, on the subway, walking on the street or just sitting around, their mobile phones are always in front of their faces. Everyone is so immersed in their own world that a couple or 2 friends can spend time together without even talking to each other. Whilst this is of course one of the negative effects of this technology, the convenience aspect of mobile phones is without a doubt incredibly positive for our society and way of life.

Mobile technology has given us the ability to do almost anything we can imagine. With the ability to mimic music players, cameras, and even the reading of books, and advanced features like finger print recognition, remote control functions, and the calculation of steps walked in a day, mobile phones these days truly are amazing.

Anything can be a double-edged sword. Keeping this in mind, it is important that we start to really communicate with our families and friends, to ensure that our relationships remain strong throughout our lives.
