Unit 10: Exercise 5

Listen to two students, Angela and Ben, talking about technology
devices. Choose the correct answers, True or False.
Ben: What’s your favourite device Angela?
Angela: That’s a good question. Maybe my laptop … but no, I think it’s my
smartphone.
Ben: Really? Why?
Angela: I suppose there are lots of reasons. It’s very easy to carry around. I can
keep it in my bag or my pocket.
Ben: Hmm. Yes, I agree.
Angela: And I can use it for lots of things. It’s not just a phone. I can take
photos, connect to the internet…
Ben: That’s why it’s called a smartphone!
Angela: Yes, of course! But what’s your favourite device, Ben?
Ben: I like my smartphone as well, but I think my favourite device is my tablet.
Angela: I’m surprised because they’re not as popular as they were. I read that
for the first time sales of tablets fell last year.
Ben: Yes I know, and sales of smartphones went up. But for me, I still prefer
tablets. They’re just easier to use because they’re bigger.
Angela: OK.
Ben: And I like to take it to class, to take notes.
Angela: Yes, it’s good for that. But maybe there won’t be any tablets in a
couple of years’ time.
Ben: I think there will be tablets for the next ten years or so but there will
probably only be professional cameras – not everyday ones. In fact, that’s
already happening because, like you, most people use their phone to take
photos.
Angela: And I’m sure that soon we won’t be able to buy desktops.
Ben: I don’t think you’re right about that. It’s true that there was a big fall in
sales last year, but there’ll still be a big market because companies will
continue to use them.
Angela: Yes, that’s probably right. But what do you think about the future?
What do you think will be the most popular devices in ten years’ time?
Ben: That’s a very difficult question. I don’t know. Technology is changing all
the time and very quickly.
Angela: Yes it is. I think there might be something that we don’t know about
yet, something which designers are inventing at the moment.
Ben: Yes, something which they’re working on right now. You know, I think
you’re probably right.
