My source of transport use it every day to go to class and to drive wherever I want to go making life so much easier.

With my cell phone its basically my life all my friends are on their I can receive and call people anytime of the day, social networks like bbm keeping me close to family and friends for no cost, some of my diary is typed on my phone and when not close to my computer I can easily go onto the internet and search for things also going onto other social networks.

All the electronics in my house such as the television, oven, microwave, my drawing tablet, computer all the stuff that makes my life easier and better in a way no more buying the newspaper I can just watch the news on the television, my drawing tablet for drawing directly onto the computer without scanning images in, technology made my life better I can’t imagine what it will be like without a car or a cell phone how we communicate today with the internet and social networks, it just makes it so much fun.
