One was a tiny _______ that I could carry around in my pocket and film moments whenever I had the opportunity.   The other was something I could use to see and speak to people miles away.

It is unbelievable that during my adult life these two _______ have become a reality. And not even two separate inventions.

I can shop as much as I want and even take a course in any subject I want…the _______ goes on.

Along with the Internet, the mobile phone must be the _______ change in technology ever. So why do many of us feel a little _______ how much time we spend on the phone in our lives?

It’s up to use to be careful about the time we spend online and remember that it’s good to talk with those sitting nearby. We can still feel ________ to have such a powerful piece of technology available when we need it.
