Technology is really incredible these days. The other day I happened to learn that if you lose or get stolen your tablet, you can easily track it by using some devices you can find in the web. However, you have to be quick because if someone has stolen it from you, he can disable this function these devices have.
Some articles for you to read about the issue:
Having your laptop stolen is traumatic. Here's what I learned (Technology, The Guardian)

Nowadays, it isn't too difficult that someone stoles your laptop or mobile phone. In fact, according to a research, a laptop is stolen every 53 seconds, that is to say, a big amount of computers are stolen everyday, so we should be careful if we don't want to live this traumatic experience.
ResponderEliminarPeople spend more and more hours with their electrnic devices, as they are addicted to them. It's unthinkable that a person, especially a teenager goes out without his mobile, so it's easier for thieves to stole one.
Now, I'm going to talk about the upsetting situation of being docked. When you are docked you usually feel vulnerable, a bit stupid, confusing, and maybe for a few days it ate away at your sense of control and security. Moreover, you can't stop thinking about you have just lost all your photos or conversations that you've probably saved from friends and relatives, some of whom are maybe no longer with you, etc.
To prevent this, I reckon we should pay attention and don't leave our mobiles alone anywhere. Another piece of advice would be to put your bag in your belly or hide it in your body. Furthemore, we should pay attention if we are in places where there are many people, such us concerts, festivals or even the subway.
Finally, I'd like to add that they have already invented some apps to find our lost or stolen mobile. Apple users have 'Find my Iphone', but there is also a 'Find my Android' function for Google folks called 'Android device manager'. With these tools you can track your phone, so you would be able to get it back hopefully.

ResponderEliminarThis is a good way to recover your lost mobile. Another way to find it can be by calling and listening to where your mobile phone sounds in case you have lost it anywhere in your home.
ResponderEliminarAlthough I think the best way to never lose it is to have it always stored in your purse or in your wallet. Normally people lose it when they leave it forgotten anywhere on the street or in any public place.
So, if you lose it, these steps may help you.

This is a good way to find the lost mobile. All phones have a code and then if you do not remember where you left it last time and it is not in your house either, go to the police and scrub the code and you will find it.
ResponderEliminarWell, the best thing would be to never lose sight of it and have it in your pocket and not take it out and leave it there.
So if you lose it, you know what to do.

ResponderEliminarThis is a great way to find your stolen or lost phone. Another way is if you are in your house and do not remember where you left it is to use another phone. You call yourself and you will see where it is because of the ringing. The problem is that you may have your mobile phone in the silent mode

ResponderEliminarNowadays, I reckon that one of the great fears of people is losing their laptosps, tablets, mobile phones... In fact, this is very common everyday, for example, according to a research, a laptop is stolen every 53 seconds.
EliminarWhat would I do if I lost or someone stole my mobile phone?, I believe that at the beginning I would feel vulnerable and stupid, but after this I think that I would go where I have been before I noticed that I didn’t have it.
It is an open secret that a lot of companies have seen this serious issue and they have taken advantage of it, for this reason, you can find a great amount of apps to find our lost or stolen mobile. Apple users have 'Find my Iphone', but there is also a 'Find my Android.
To conclude, I would like to add that from my point of view, we should pay more attention to them, since we not only lose an expensive object, we also lose pictures of memorable moments with our relatives or friends, or important e-mails.

I think that this is a great way to find your lost ore stolen mobile. I have a friend whose his mobile was stolen and he found it this way. Another way of finding your mobile if you have lost it somewhere in your home is calling your mobile number and listen where it is.
ResponderEliminarBut I think that the best way of not losing your mobile phone is to have it always safe in your bag or in your pocket. Normally people lose their mobile phone by forgetting it in a bar or in a public place.
So if somebody has lost his mobile phone, follow these steps.

However, you have to be quick because if someone has stolen it from you, he can disable this function these devices have.
ResponderEliminarThe technology is very important in the world , because we use it for many things. We use it talk with our friends and family , we also use it look for information to help us study . Also doctors use it in the medicines to look for new medicines. Also teachers use it to plan our classes .
The technology makes life easier because we do not have to wash or clothes by hand or use a fire to cook . Without technological advances life would not be so easy.
Plastic is used in everything, from the keyboard I´m using right now, to glasses or contact lenses, plastic bags, bottles, folders. It's in your clothes, phone, car, mattress, and TV screen.
ResponderEliminarAmong all his properties, we can mention properties like elasticity and flexibility that allow to mold them and adapt them to different uses, but as It´s commonly known, plastic isn’t biodegradable, which means that it isn´t capable of being broken down, which accentuates the wasting of plastic for years and for generations to come
But how It affects sea animals?
Well, the biggest issue is that animals can get wrapped in fishing line nets, plastic bags, balloons.
It is estimated that between 5,000 and 15,000 sea turtles get wrapped each year.
The second biggest issue is the impact of eating plastic, these plastics can cause blockages of the gut or perforation of the intestines.

I think that it is a great solution to find your stolen or lost phone. If you are forgetful person, this tool can be the best application for you to find your phone.
ResponderEliminarBut, it would be better not to lose it and have it in a safe place. Usually people forget their phones in a public place and they realise when it is too late to remember where they took it out for the last time. As well you can tell your phone and see who gets it. Also you can block it from a distance, if there is no other option.
Supposing you take it out, you must be careful of it.
Technology has both advantages and drawbacks. It helps us quite a lot with our work and study, as well as it allows thieves commit crime without leave any evidence. What's more, the situation of crisis encourages people who have a lack of money to commit thefts. What can we do to stop it?
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand, it is claimed that every 53 seconds a theft is commit. Most of the times, what we are stolen is something with a sentimental value for us and it isn't the price what we suffer from. I mean, if you lose your laptop you may lose photos and souvenirs of people who isn't among us yet.
On the other hand, there are such a big amount of methods to try to recuperate the object stolen. As soon as you lost your phone, for instance, you ought to call the police and catch up them about what have happened. Although you are unlikely to recuperate your phone, it will be lock and the thief won’t be able to use it. Likewise, you had better call your insurance company and inform if they cover that theft.
To sum up, today there are so many ways to find out o prevent thefts. In almost public space, shops, restaurants there are cameras who film absolutely all and for example, iPhones have already installed an app to lock your phone when you're robbed. Nevertheless, you'd better looking on your stuff rather than leaving them in any place.
The technology advances every day faster. Nowadays, some examples of the technology it can be vehicles without driver, face detection as a form of pay or selfies 360º. This advances can make life even easier. Not only this examples will revolutionize, also in the life of the communication with the mobile phone.
ResponderEliminarIn the last 10 years, some brands like Samsung or Apple still are the leaders in the market, among other things because of its models like Samsung Galaxy S9 and the iPhone X. Other brands like Huawei that in the last years is starting to sell as much as the other companies.
But the mobiles also have some disadvantages, these include the limited attention span for other activities and tasks during the conversation without ceasing, also dangerous driving while conversing, which causes accidents. In general one of the most serious problems are the medical problems.
In conclusion, I love have the mobile phones, because I consider that with him we can to be more releases, but we must know when not to take it, because for example when we are studying we should not take it.

ResponderEliminarBecause it improves our lifestyle that it is very important because if you got lost with it, people could locate you can be used for different things but there are always people who make a good use of mobile phones and others who don't. I think mobile phones cost a lot of money, and average people can afford to buy a good mobile and everyone wants the best phone.

ResponderEliminarThese days technology is very important because we use it for everything. We can talk with our friends, family, look for things we do not know. Even if you lose your cell phone, you can locate it. Life is much easier thanks to the internet because it helps us in everything. Before there was no Internet and life was more difficult. Apart from the Internet, there are many things that make our lives easier such as washing machines because before we had to go somewhere to wash them, the microwave, cleaning things ...

ResponderEliminarEvery day technology advances faster with the aim of making life easier for us. From driverless cars to simply mobile phones. Mobile phones make our lives much easier since many jobs today are through them without the need for a computer. The brands that stand out the most are Apple and Samsung, although lately the Xiaomi brand is also well known, since each year they manufacture new models that are better than the previous ones.
Mobile phones also have drawbacks, since all the data is not well stored and any computer can obtain it, as is the case in which many celebrities are controlled through their social networks.
In conclusion, I love being with my mobile, but our fault is that we spend more time than we do studies and it should be the other way around.

I think that this is a very good idea because we have many of our memories in these dispositives and if we lose or get stolen it we lose them.

Nowadays the technology is very important for our day a day and everyone have a dispositive but some are very expensive and this do that the thief steal their.
One time my aunt was walking in Madrid and a man stole her phone and she lose all, but if she knew this in that moment maybe she can get her phone.
Andrea Valdés Padial 2º ESO A
Nowadays we all have something of technology in our lives, in every house in our country we have at least one mobile phone. That we call now ``smartphone´, and we use tablets, Pc, and laptops too. The technology is need in our lives, to study, in a lot of jobs, for we could communicate with another persons.
ResponderEliminarIf you have a mobile phone, at least one time you will lose that. A lot of people lost his mobile phone and its a problem because normally, they have a lot of confidential information in his mobiles phones, like numbers of credits cards, documents, photos etc...
For this problem there are a lot of companies of mobiles phones that incorporated a lot of system of security, for example in the EEUU brand calls Apple, his mobiles phones are incorporated a chip like gps, with this chip and with our email, we can know where are our mobile phone in all time.
These companies have a system for which, when we lost our mobile phone we use our email, and through him we can lock the mobile phone and we can delete all of the information that are in the dispositive.
Alejandra Garcia Garcia 2º Bach
The mobile phone is very used for all people in the world for people that since a few years to a lot of years, since 1973 when Martin Cooper of Motorola has invented the mobile phone. The mobile phone can be very useful for all people, because with mobile phone you can communicate with somewhere part of the world and you can take a lot of information. But also the mobile phone can bad because you can be a mobile dependent.

ResponderEliminarNowadays, teenagers communicate using social networking site like Facebook, twiter, instragram, whatsap… Most teenagers have a mobile phone, laptop, tablet…
ResponderEliminarFirstly teenagers use them to communicate with their families, their friends from anywhere and at anytime. Other good things is that social networks, entertain you, meet people, inform you, what has happend.
As well as good things there are also bad things. Teenagers bully other teenagers by passing photos, saying things… One bad thing is that teenagers spend a lot of time with friends they talk on the call phone instad of talking to each other.
Finally, I think Social Networking sites are useful for the teenagers communicate. However they should talk more face to face with their friends and meet them more often.
Face to face relationships are better.
