Story - Technology
Different types of technology have been around for a long time. In the past several years, it has increased. In the 1920s people listened to radios. They could hear the news and weather reports. In the 1950s, people began watching television. They could see pictures instead of just hearing words. Then in the 1990s, people started using cell phones. They could communicate while they were away from their house.
Today, we use cell phones and small laptops. We carry them around. However, they can cause problems. Sometimes, people do not look where they are going. This is because they are looking at their cell phones. Carrying a cell phone around makes it easy to steal. Also, people play video games on their cell phones and laptops too much.
In the future, people believe that there will be even more technology. Yet, it is difficult to figure out. Some people will look at patterns that have been going on with technology. They feel that technology has been increasing and will continue to increase in the years to come.
