Essay - Unit 1
Technology has a largely positive impact on families. Do you agree?
When you hang out with your families in the house, you always count on
Internet to sharing some funny video or news important about your city,
so that's because you always close of the technology.
On the other hand, you can make up a pijama day with your favorite
people and preparing one night to watch movies together on streaming
platforms, so that form you apply technology in that moments. Also I know
that people use this tool to have video calls with relative who are far or
taking photos together to keep memories each they want to reminds
those special moments.
In my opinion, It so neccessary technology because we help to create
solutions early some research, simple homework or search photo on the
web. All of them it's important for me because I have a son and always I
help him with homeworks and found information on the web or we shared
moments when we watched movies or series on streaming platforms.
