1. Modern technology:

I'm agree with the man's opinion. I think that technology give us more facilities and freedom in the actual days. I like things like the phone mobiles, the computers, etc. and new artefacts for doing the houseworks.

2 Vocabulary
I think the most useful things are:
- Laptop computer
- Phone mobile
- Fax machine
- Microwave oven
- Alarm clock

The laptop computer, the phone mobile and the fax machine facilitates the comunication with another persons, and work too.
The microwave oven is useful for cooking.
And the alarm clock is a good method for don't arrive late at work.

3. Phone mobile history:

I don't have any funny history about phone mobiles. I want to say that I hate persons that doesn't turn off their phone mobiles in the cinema. Too many times, I go to the cinema and a mobile rings in a interesting moment of the film.
I think that it's rude with the rest of the cinema's audience.

In 2006 a large Danish study about the connection between mobile phone use and cancer incidence was published. It followed over 420,000 Danish citizens over 20 years and showed no increased risk of cancer.[15] The German Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) consider this report as inconclusive.[16]

In order to investigate the risk of cancer for the mobile phone user, a cooperative project between 13 countries has been launched called INTERPHONE. The idea is that cancers need time to develop so only studies over 10 years are of interest.[17
