2. What electronic devices have you

3. What do you think are the trends in


technology today compared to when

which is gaining in popularity in many countries. It’s a wonderful tool
for people to make friends with people across the globe with
like-minded interests and share their thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

home which has a host of advantages for workers like less commute
stress and better work-life balance.

What do you use your computer for?

Sample answer

I use my computer for nearly everything needed for my work and study:checking and replying emails,
saving and organizing data, searching for information on the Internet.

Do you think it is important to learn how to use a computer?

Sample answer

Being able to use a computer is a must in the modern era because for the most part, human activities
depend on it. Computers also help people to work more efficiently and smoothly so knowing to use a
computer is very essential.
● What do you use the Internet for?

I mainly use the Internet to read newspapers and news items, mostly about sport. I also

use it to do a bit of research on things to do and things to see at the weekends. I do a bit of

internet shopping, like booking flights and accommodation for my holidays.

● Does everyone have access to the Internet in your country?

I think so. Obviously, people in urban areas have wider access to the Internet. Irs still a very rural
country though, so, on second thoughts, rm not sure that everybody is connected. And certainly not
everyone has broadband.

● Do you think older people are scared of new technology?

Some older people embrace new technology. My granddad, for example, was a technophile and
wanted to keep up to speed with the latest technology. However, I would say that most older people
don’t bother learning about new technology simply because they can ‘t see what it would bring to
their lives.

● Do you think young children should have mobile phones?

I can’t see that young children have much use for mobile phones, at least in terms of using

the phone as a phone. They might find it interesting to have a device to listen to music and

take photos. But I can ‘t imagine many young kids making calls.
