Объяснение:
Technological devices are used everywhere: by young learners and students, by engineers and doctors, by teachers and scientists. We have a great variety of digital electronic devices, such as cellphones, smartphones, video cameras and computers. But we should never forget about disadvantages that all these wonderful things have brought into the world.
I am a journalist, and I am writing for an independent youth magazine "Watch Out!". I have to express my opinion on the following: "The modern world relies on technological devices too much".
In my opinion, we are relying on these devices too much, we have forgotten about face-to-face communication, writing letters, etc. Just ask yourself: have you got together with your friends and family recently? How have your friends reacted to your new dress or hairstyle? How often do you go to the park? Do you know who your new neighbors are? Can you live without the Internet for a day? If you can't answer these questions, there is a simple explanation.
You are too much addicted to your gadgets and devices, you have got friends, but they are your Facebook friends. Your good mood depends on the number of likes given by your "friends" there. You prefer staying online and surfing the Internet to going out and spending a quiet afternoon in the park.
"Watch Out!" encourages the readers to be more sociable and realistic, and wishes everyone a merry Christmas!
