Teacher: Now it’s high time for you to discuss

in your groups all the information you have found and read about the most popular technologies- computers, mobile phones and television.

How do modern technologies influence upon our lives?

What is the importance of the following the most popular inventions: computers, mobile phones, television?

3. Analyze their advantages and negative sides.

in huge steps. We live in the 21st century, full

of different means of communication. Today almost everyone has a mobile phone. We cannot imagine our life without it because it is very important to communicate with your family and friends. At the same time, we can find the opinion, that the usage of mobile phones can be harmful and dangerous.
I think, that mobile phones are very useful in our everyday life. Firstly, it is very convenient, as people can call each other anywhere. Secondly, each telephone has such devices as :a calendar, a camera, the Internet, an alarm clock and others. No matter where we are, there is an opportunity to get connected to the Internet, check our e-mails and find any necessary information. In addition mobile phones can help fill in our free time. Thirdly, many parents buy cell phones for their children just for safety. If a child gets into some trouble, he can call emergency services or his parents. If you need, you can call the police or an ambulance. At the same time, some people believe, that mobile phones are dangerous. Their microwaves can be harmful and they affect our health greatly. In addition , there is such a phenomenon, as a mobile phone addiction, and it’s a real problem in our society. Besides, when a person speaks on the phone in public places, we can listen to other people’s conversations or sometimes phones ring a lot of times. It is so disturbing!
In conclusion, I’d like to say that mobile phones make our life easier but , nevertheless, there is a negative effect on our health. That is why people shouldn’t rely on them too much.

Group II-Computers.
Group III- Television.

Sum up the discussion

of the problem statements. “Technology is a queer thing. It brings you great gifts with one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the other”. Carrie P. Snow

“Now people are absolutely dependent on modern
technologies, they will not survive without them.”
Philip Scott

on hearing, but they are very important and necessary in

our life and we can’t live without them. P2 - I want to say: probably it will lead to the degradation of the person, but it will open the new horizons in front of us. P3 - I think, we become lazy and disorganized with these devices, but they save our time and let us enjoy our lives. P4 - As for me, I think we rely on them too much, but we shouldn’t overuse modern technologies. P5 - In my opinion, modern technologies make our life easier, but we are getting a bit too dependent on them. P6,P7 P8.

technological progress continues and makes our life better, brighter, more

comfortable and interesting.
But it’s a fact-modern technologies have become such a big part of everyday life , that existing without them seems
impossible now.
I think -everything should be in measure.

: let us give our students (groups 1,2,3) an opportunity

to predict the future.

What predictions can you make about the future of modern technologies?
Would you like to use these new technologies in your everyday life?
Do you agree with this quotation?

“Everything that can be invented-
has been invented”.

“Everything that can be invented- has been invented”. There will

be so many surprises in the future! The predictions are amazing!
P2 - Quite on the contrary! I feel happy, because our future life is supposed to be fantastic! The presentations have shown it!
P3 - I think that the future technologies are beautifully illustrated and we’ll have such technologies in the nearest future!

Teacher: Agree with you- all the projects were interesting and I would like to use these new technologies in my everyday life: to live in a “smart” house with robots doing all house- work instead of me.
