YOUR OPINION: SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES A. Alicia, 16 I spend a lot of my free time on social networking sites. They're great for keeping in touch with my mates and finding old friends, too. The other day, I found a school friend from primary school. I was so pleased to hear her news. Social networking sites are also useful for helping people out. I saw on a friend's page that one of his friend needed a driving instructor. My uncle is a driving instructor and he's on the same social networking sites. I introduce them and they were both happy. My parents complain that playing online games with friend is a waste of time, but I totally disagree. You see I'm really into trivia games, but also word games and chess, which I find amusing and educational. So I cant see any drawback there. C. Rayyan, 15 I'm not a big social networking sites user to be honest. I can't understand why people have to update their status all the time. I don't want to know someone is buying at the supermarket, or how long they've been waiting in traffic. What do I care? But I find it useful for events. We're putting on a school play at the end of the year, and using a social networking sites makes it a lot easier. We're organising the tickets these days. It really helps. We've got our own page to advertise the school play, when it's over we'll upload photos and videos of the highlights. B. Adrian, 16 I don't think social networking sites are for me. I really don't like having too much information about myself out there on the web. I mean, anyone could find my email and start sending me spam or viruses. There's also cyberbullying which can be very nasty. A friend of mine had to stop using a social networking sites last month because someone was constantly saying horrible things about her. Also someone could pretend to be you and commit crimes. Imagine that! D. Emma, 14 I'm a member of a social networking site but I'm thinking about deactivating it. For one thing, it's taking up too much of my time. I play virtual games, chat with load of people and I have hundreds of friends. The more time I spend on social networking sites, the less time I have for my real life. I think the final straw is my mum. She is a member of the same social networking sites as me and I made mistakes of making her one of my friends. She hasn't lost touch with her old school mates and she really enjoys being online. But now she tends to follow my every move. It's so embarrassing! I can't do anything without her knowing. Read the text A-D. What is each person's opinion about Tips! social networking sites? Is it positives, negative or both? Don't panic if you've got unknown vocabulary. 3

to SMARTPHONE from BRICK The evaluation of the mobile phone In 1973, Martin Cooper invented a portable mobile phone. It was DynaTAC and in 1983, It was available in shops. DynaTAC phone were large and weighed about a kilogram. They were also very expensive, but people used to buy them like crazy. However, people complained that you could only talk for an hour before needing charge them again, so soon heavy shoulder packs with batteries in them were introduced. These gadgets became very trendy the 80s and actors appeared in many films of the time, chatting friends on their new, hi-tech device. Because of their size and shape, these early mobiles became known as bricks. They seem like dinosaurs compared to the devices we are used to seeing today. The first generation (IG) of mobile phone systems had weak signals and many problems. As technology Improved, mobiles became smaller and offered more features. In the 90s, the introduction of 2G mobile systems meant improve reception over wider areas. They also included the ability to send small amounts of data such as Short Message Service (SMS) messages. The first SMS was sent in the UK on 3 December 1992 Today, over 2 trillion text messages are sent every year. Mobiles continued to improve, with coloured screens and a wide variety a ringtones. Another important development was the introduction of cameras on mobile phones. Camera phones became hugely popular and changed the world of journalism. In 2004, the Indian Ocean earthquake was the first event in which most of the videos on the news were provided by camera phones, instead of professional camera crew. In the early 2000s, 3G mobile Internet was introduced which made it possible for people to use a new generation of 'smartphones'. These devices have large touchscreens and act as Internet browsers, media players and game consoles all in one. They have also made video calling and mobile TV a reality. With the Introduction of 4G mobile Internet the speed with which phones can both download and upload information to the Internet is far greater than ever before. Of course, companies are always coming up with new ideas and exciting 'concept' mobiles. Some of these Ideas include solar panels on the back of the phone for charging, a flexible phone that can bend around your wrist, and even a phone that uses cola to charge its battery. Everyone is trying to find the next big step in the evolution of mobile phones. But what will it be? Only time will tell. 11
