Recently our lives have become asolutely dependent on modern technologies.  More and more people have computers, mobile phones and sophisticated household appliances.  Nowadays mobile telephones replaced ordinary old-fashioned telephones in the houses.  They are smaller in size and more convenient because they can be used anywhere.  The only problem may arise if the battery  is off. But in this case this problem may become a total disaster for the mobile phones owners. 

The same applies to computers.  Very few people today know how to send letters or telegrams. People also more see each other on the screen of the monitor than in real life.  Conversations and private meetings between friends become less and less frequent. However  if there is a problems with eletricity, we can face another disaster in the form of total loss of commuication.

Copying machines also do a lot of work for us.  We have simply become too lazy to re-write long texts.

As to cars, motorbikes and other vehicles, they stole from us one more chance to walk and enjoy a beautiful view of the nature or of the city. 

In other words modern technologies made our lives more comfortable and convernient.  But at the same we lost some skills that our parents used to have.

Hey, David!

I'm glad you are writing to me!

So how is your life going?

Anyways, I had a topic I wanted to discuss with you, and that topic is my new computer, that I bought yesterday. It was made by acer, and I like it quite a lot so far. It is quite powerful, it is able to play games and also it has a nice design, with blue coloured ventilation blades, and interior, that lights up! But even though I like my computer very much it has its own downfalls, mainly because it gets hot pretty quickly and that you can't put your CDs in it.

So, I hope you are going to have a great day!

Can't wait for our next meeting!

Best wishes!
