Technology plays an important
part in our lives today. Five people
from Dublin tell us how they
TECHNOLOGY in the city use technology in the city.
1. SATNAV
I'm a taxi driver in Dublin. I've got satnav in the taxi.
I use it to find addresses in the city. It also tells me
if there are any traffic problems. Satnav technology
makes my job a lot easier.
2. TABLETS
We use a tablet to go online. We look up the opening
times of shops and museums. We also find out
what's on at the cinema and what time the films start.
It's easier, cheaper and quicker than a phone call.
3. WIFI ZONES & LAPTOPS
I'mlucky. I've got a small laptop. I use it to send
emails and to chat to my friends. I can now do those
things in the city centre because there are lots of places with
free wifi zones: cafés, the library, parks, etc. I like using my
laptop in the park. I can do my homework and get fresh air at
the same time!
4. APPS & SMARTPHONES
I'm learning French. I haven't got much time to
practise. But now I'm learning words and expressions
with an app on my smartphone. It's great because I
can use it anywhere in the city.
5. ONLINE SHOPPING
I love online shopping. I send my shopping list to
the supermarket and they deliver everything to my
house. It's so easy and it saves me lots of time.
CAN YOU IMAGINE YOUR LIFE WITHOUT TECHNOLOGY?
