Things I can’t live without
JOSH It probably sounds ridiculous, as there are lots of other things you can use now to save data, but I’ve found my memory stick is really the best. It means I can carry it with me anywhere and just use it on any computer – and I’ve got instant access to my documents. It’s a good back-up, too, in case the hard drive on my laptop goes wrong. MAX I can’t live without my webcam. I bought one last year because my laptop is quite old and didn’t have a webcam. It’s just so much fun when I talk to my best friend. (He’s having a gap year in the States at the moment.) He can show me where he is and who he’s with and sometimes he just leaves the camera on. That way, I’m almost with him while he’s spending time with his friends! BECKY I wouldn’t be happy without my tablet. I’ve got loads of apps but my favourite is a drawing app. It saves me getting out paper and stuff and I can just do everything on the screen and it’s so easy to edit. I don’t really use my tablet for emailing or social media. HARRY My phone is my life! It’s got all my contacts, my photos and my emails. I have it with me all the time. I know it sounds a bit crazy but it’s my way of keeping in touch with the world 24/7. I love being able to contact anyone at anytime. DIANA We spent so much on phone calls before we discovered Whats up and now it’s almost free to keep in touch with my family. My daughter and her family emigrated to Australia last year and we talk almost every day. It’s just the best thing ever! TOM No question, my satnav is the best thing in the world! I drive all over the country for company meetings and it saves so much time. It means I don’t have to look at maps and it’ll always tell me if there are any problems on the road. Of course, you hear stories about how people follow the directions even when it’s clear that they’re wrong but 99% of the time it’s brilliant! Which person … 0 uses technology for business travel? Tom 1 finds technology lets them carry work with them? 2 enjoys contact with people day or night? 3 saves money through using technology?
