Why we need phones


Good Morning. Could you imagine life without phones. Well I can, and I think it would not be so great. I am here to talk about why we need cell phones. When Alexander Graham Bell invented the first telephone in 1876, I don't think he could of imagined the amazing things today's telephones are capable of.

The very first phones were created to talk with someone else on the other end but today's phones have advanced so much that you can do so many other things than just talk to someone. Think of all the things you can do on your cell phones today. First of all you can take them wherever you go, not like the old days when you had to be connected to a house and wire.

I strongly believe that we need cell phones today for many reasons. Not only can you call and talk to people, you can just send a quick text to communicate a quick message to someone. You can also use email on your phone, play games, take photos, take videos, get information from google, use a torch, a calculator and tell the time. The possibilities are endless. It is like a mini computer in your hand.

I challenge anyone who owns a cellphone to see if they can stay off it for a week. It is almost impossible because the cellphone, besides talking face to face with someone is the first point of communication with family, friends and the outside world.

Business people need it to keep track of emails, create presentations, complete bank transactions even have meetings with multiple people at once. Children love to text their friends, play games, get  on social media, take selfies, and on and on it goes. Because of the multiple capabilities of the cell phone today, it is a common thing that most people have  a cell phone with them at most times of the day.

I think it is also important to have a cell phone so parents are able to make contact with their children at any time and if there is an emergency contact can be made immediately. Some people say that children spend too much time on their phones but it should be monitored by their parents so that they have a limited time on that device. Although this may be true i still think that the positive reasons outweigh the negative reasons to have a cell phone. I think that cell phones are a good addition to our everyday lives but if you do not agree why don't you text me your reason later.

Today in Ls2 we have done speeches. We were put into groups and said our speeches to each other. Then on of us had to be chosen by our group to be in the finals. If it was 2 difficult to decide Mrs Anderson said to just choose 2 of them.

Orienteering


Today we had orienteering. We got told how the course works, then given a paper with letters and numbers. We also got a map that showed our school and we had to follow the directions to where the map told us to go. The map had 4 courses and we had to complete all 4 courses. We all started in the same place but every one had to go to different locations so it was difficult. Then when completed the courses we went back to where we started and gave back the piece of papers and maps. When everyone was finished we went back to our classrooms.
