past 20 or 30 years ago computers were really limited they couldn't do the things that computers do today in the past they were also really big but today computers come in many different sizes computers today are fast powerful and easy to use i remember when i first started using the computer i was six years old i liked playing computer games but all the games were very basic at that time i still thought they were really fun today computer games are very complex alright now let's talk about cell phones when i was a kid not many
people had cell phones most people used landlines which are phones inside your house nowadays not many people have landlines everyone has cell phones now i remember getting my first cell phone when i was 12 years old i thought it was so cool these days phones are extremely important because you can do almost anything on your phone but i think the most important technology today is the internet most people use the internet every day to do many things people like me need the internet in order to work if i don't have internet i can't work we
also use the internet to study to shop and to entertain ourselves i can't imagine not having the internet i use it for many hours every day how about you how many hours a day do you use the internet okay now let's talk about technology of the past for example one really important invention was the motorized vehicle or the car before cars people traveled by horse by foot or in other ways when the car was invented people were able to travel more easily cars from the past looked very different from today's cars i think old cars
looked pretty cool another really important invention was electricity before electricity people had to use candles and fire for light at night the cities were much darker than today nowadays our cities have so much light at night and of course we use electricity for so many different things today sometimes the electricity goes out and everything stops working i hate when the electricity goes out one more important invention was the television in the past television was the greatest form of entertainment everyone sat down in the evenings and watched tv nowadays more people watch tv shows on their
computers like on netflix many young people prefer doing everything on their computer or cell phone alright that's all for today leave a comment and tell me what your favorite technology is and remember to subscribe to the channel click on the bell and follow us on instagram for more english tips and lessons i'll see you next time [Music] [Applause] you
