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.

Swimming at the creek

One hot and sunny day,  Sonny, Tim, my brother Ihaka, Te Kaha and me went for a nice cold swim at the creek.

As we were on our way to the creek  I was on my bike doing drifts on the dusty road trying to pop my tyre. A few minutes later we arrived at swimming hole I was the first to jump off the bank.  First I did a pin then my second time jumping off I did a coffin. Then we all started to swim over to the other side to do some manu’s whoopes and griller off a little brunch. I was the only one doing grillers off high. One hour later we all decided to jump out the high tree. I was doing a coffen out of that tree. Suddenly Te kaha told me to go under water so I listen to pop it was loud like a boom box trying to get blown and there up the loudest they can go. 20 minutes later it time to go. We all had a race back to my house even that i was on my bike second so basically Ihaka won.

Rippa Rugby in Hikurangi

On Tuesday our Tautoro team went to Hikurangi for our semi finals in rippa rugby. On our last game we versed Kamo 3. As the horn went for us to start our game we all were fired and ready to win. Hands ready, ready to rip. The whistle blew Konrad passed the ball to Kohuroa she ran about 13 metres and she thought that she got ripped but she didn’t. We all were yelling at her saying “GO GO YOU AIN'T RIPPED. GO FOR THE TRY KOHUROA.” Five minutes later she got ripped at the five line.

As the girls started off with the ball they got us plenty of ground. Then the time came for us boys to have a run. The pass came from Kura to Arama and then out to Konrad, onto Letisha. She ran forward and dived for the try, scoring the last winning try for our game.

As the boy in Kamo got the ball and ran through our whole team. I quickly saw Arama over take me to save the try. Arama accidentally pulled his pants down because he was trying to go for his tags but he ended up pulling his pants down and we all started to crack up. It was totally funny.

After us scoring the last try I was over the moon I couldn’t believe that we won the Semis for Rippa Rugby.  We’re off to Toll Stadium to play the finals in front of thousands of people.
