Technology & inventions (2ºESO)

In the English Workshop with 2ºESO we've been talking about technology recently. In the blog this week, three pupils tell us what their favourite invention is, and why our lives would be different without it. Please read their opinions and leave your own comments. Do you agree with them? What is your favourite invention, and why?

The mobile phone (Alba)

With the mobile phone you can do a lot of things. For example, you can look up the answers to things you don't know. Or if you are walking and get lost, you can put the GPS on or use Google Maps to find the way. You can call your parents or the police in an emergency. You can install games or applications to talk to your friends. If you don't haev a mobile you can't talk with your friends, so I think it's the most imortant invention.

The television (David)

I think the television is a great invention because it takes your mind off your problems. Without it my life would be more boring because I couldn't see films or play videogames on my Wii or X-box. Ialso I couldn't see my favourite TV channels like Neox or FDF, which have shows like The Simpsons or Aida.

The car (Elvira)

I think the car is the most important invention because we can use it to travel on holiday to a different city or to the beach, or to make shorter trips to school or to go shopping. It's a good idea to have a car because you can carry a lot more things like bags than if you are walking alone. Our lives would be very different without cars as we would have to live near the school or office and moving around would be much more difficult and slower.
