Passage 1

Mobile phones have become a part of everyone’s life.Most people have at least one mobile phone.And every month,new models appear in the stores.They offer exciting new features like cameras.MP3 players and the ability to connect with the Internet.Now mobile phone users can do more on the Internet than ever before.They are able to do almost all the things on their mobile phones that they used to do on their computers.Moreover,some mobile phones now have voice recognition software,so people do not even have to use the buttons on their phones.They can simply tell their phones what they want to see or do.One problem with mobile phones is that they have small screens. However,this problem could be solved in the future by making phones that project pictures and movies onto a wall or a sheet of paper.Mobile phones will also be used with“e-paper”(large screens that can be folded and easily stored and carried)as well as personal video screens that look like pairs ofsunglasses.
