Dad: Sounds great! When I was at school, we waited for weeks to hear from our pen friends abroad. But today, we can send and receive photos and mails on the Internet, and it’s really fast.
Tony: Yes, the Internet and the computer have changed our lives. We even use online textbooks in our class. I wonder… Will computers be used more than books in the future?
Dad: Perhaps. In the past, we mainly got information from paper books. Some were huge ones with thousands of pages. Today, with the invention of the computer and electronic technology, it’s easy to get information on the Internet. The Internet is more powerful than books.
Tony: Anyway, about the camera…?
Dad: Oh, yes. Here it is. I haven’t used it since your mum’s birthday. And the memory card may be full.
Tony: OK. That can be fixed. I’ve got an empty memory card. Where are the instructions?
