Mobile 'to exceed people globally by 2012'.


Daria sent us this link today: http://news.sky.com/home/technology/article/16083288







We had an interesting discussion about whether mobile devices have made our lives better or worse. Mrs Creighton told the class that she bought her first mobile about a year after they had all been born, so she was the only person who could give insight into life before mobile phones. However, one member of the class has been without a mobile phone since his ended up in the washing machine, and he was coping perfectly well with life! Some of the girls gasped in horror at this and admitted to sending almost 200 texts a day- at which point Mrs C and most of the boys gasped in horror!

Daria also asked us what the writer's purpose was in writing the article and whether the statistics in it were reliable.
