The world is changing very quickly. Now I can see the world as one city. Technology also develops very quickly. Phones now are smartphones. It is not just for calling or texting. We can do many things with it. You can use it in a good way or bad way. It is deepened on you. For myself I like to use smartphones for many reasons. First thing is to communicate with my family with cheap way. My parents live in Saudi Arabia. It is very far away from here. I need to call them and check to them. I usually use facetime to call them and chat with them. Also, I use my phone to study. I use application on my iphone to study the vocabulary words in this course. It is very easy and nice way to study. However, some time phones can be bad for us. Sometime when I study and I receive a txt from my friend or a new photo she put in her Instegram I start to look in it and spend a lot of time in it so, phones can be used in both good and bad way. The good person has to use it for a good way.   

In the article he said about every 4.3 minutes we check our phones. It is very dangerous to use the phone like this. Actually sometime when I wake up the first thing I do is check my phone. I don’t like to do it. I think I have to not use the phone like that. Also, someday when I visit my friends. It is good to only talk without phones because some friends are busy with the phones. We meet to have fun together not to look for phone. Also, sometime in class some student use phone. This is not a good way to use the phone. Phone can get us busy and waste our time.

Also, my child has an ipad. My husband and I decided to buy the ipad to develop his thinking and to know how to deal with technology. We read a lot that ipad can be bad for children. We only give him the ipad in the weekend for only two or three hours. We think this is a good way for him and us.

 Finally, it is very good to use the phone is a good way. I hope this technology will us make our life easy.
