Development of technologies changed the world in a short time. For example the
electric device we used in the past and device we use now are a lot different. These
days, we use machines called "cell phone" and it enables us to communicate with anybody in the world. Originally, the cell phone has only one fuction, which was talking. However, cell phone has been upgraded for several years. Therefore, it now has variety types of application. For instance "listens to music, records voice memos, posts frequent updates to her Twitter and Facebook accounts." In addition people now even "tracks their caloric intake and taps out grocery lists." Due to cell phone's huge variety of function, number of people using cell phone is growing and reached "90 percent of households in the United States. However(130), "the growh in voice minutes " has ceased. But, why? By texting or like other funcitions, people can save "time consuming" and do multitask. That is why people now prefer tweet, text, or e-mail "rather than pick up the phone." Even if they pick up the phone, it is just for saying "I'm dropping by." On the contrast, it is not saying that having phone calls only have disadvantages. When "somethins is sensitive" people then pick up the phone. Derive from my experience, I live in Canada without my family and friends. Living without family and friends cause me feel loneliness. Thus, I often make phone calls with my family and friends. Listening to their voice courages me to study harder in foreign country. Comparing e-mail to phone call, I feel e-mail describes heartless world while phone call describes human's true inside love.
