New Life
Have you ever noticed a scene that while you are waiting at a bus stop or outside a classroom, what others do — playing with a smart phone or a tablet computer? There is no doubt that this kind of high-tech products have been a part of our modern life. Of course, we benefit from using them, so it’s the trend in life style.
In the past, letter was the most common way to connect with each other. Usually, the information in the letter was not current because it took time to deliver it. When I was a litter girl, I could only hear from my grandparents abroad once or twice a year by mailing a letter. Later, phone was becoming cheaper and cheaper, we had more chances to chat. Today, if we want, we can talk with each other face to face even we are thousand miles away. I was aware of how wonderful it is to have this technology two months ago. That was my cousin’s wedding in China. We, including his parents, could not attend this important occasion. How regretful it is if parents cannot be present at child’s wedding! Internet can solve this problem perfectly. By the Internet and a computer monitor, we “attended” the wedding, gave out our best wishes. It became a happy memory in all our life.
I have been apart with my friends and classmates for almost two years, but I feel like we are still very close to each other. I know very little things happened to every friend of mine. She got a new job, he just got married, they traveled to shanghai two days ago …… By checking my ipod, I can get the latest information from my friends. We have turned into a habit that updating our status via cell phones, tablet computers whenever and wherever.
Because of the convenience of cell phone and the Internet, we are more knowledgable. We can tell what’s happening in every corner in the world. We have more wide vision. Not far away, our world will be as small as a village.
Our life is changing. Owing to the new products, we are getting a better life!
