What would happen if we had no devices?

What would happen if … … there were suddenly no computers, tablets, or phones of any kind anywhere on Earth?

WALT: to write a persuasive piece of writing about a topic

S.C:

• state your position on the topic

• describe the points in support of your arguments, including examples and other evidence;

• address readers’ concerns and arguments against your position; and

• use grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalisation correctly at all times.

In the next 10 years, computers will be old and obsolete.  Desktops and laptops too, have already begun to be put into dusty cupboard or stored away in rooms.    The one and only thing that will remain will be the smartphone.

Just think what it would be like if your smartphone was your only computer. You would always have your computer with you.   All of your documents, photos, games, your apps, would always be in your pocket, available at any time.

You wouldn’t need a big screen, a keyboard and mouse, and some nice speakers, now you just put your smartphone into a docking station. You could have a docking station at home, in the office, at the airport, and they even have these dotted around town for your use.

I believe the smartphone will be the computer we have to keep us connected with our whanau. It will be used for almost everything we will need to have other than a wallet. You could use your smartphone as a passport, or as a credit card. Your smartphone could track your movements, and to pass the information off quicker than if we were to get it there.

However, smartphones aren’t going to kill laptops or desktops any time soon. But they will be smaller.We still need to communicate.
