For a technology that is still relatively
new, their Q1 _______ on the business and consumer sector has been incomprehensible. As if it
was not sufficient to own one computer, many people nowadays have a few of them. We think we
need a desktop computer, a laptop computer, and a bunch of little computers in our phones and
music players, even Q2________ they actually do the same thing. Now that everybody has their
desktops and laptops, and we are all able to Q3________ the Internet anytime we want to, our
world has turned into a virtual playground. We can now connect with our foreign neighbours in a
matter of seconds, Q4_________ of how far away they are from us. It’s as if we no longer have
borders in this highly digital world of ours.
Desktops have always been a great option, but the problem with them is that they are not
mobile. They have all the Q5_________ of other computers, but it can be annoying at times to have
to sit in the same spot while working. For businesses and personal offices, desktop computers are
still the favoured option because of their power. But when people have to be connected while
travelling, the need for laptops really becomes apparent. The main advantage of laptops is the
ability to communicate with people no Q6 _________ where you are. Our society has been
converted into one that has to have all the latest gadgets. Some people even Q7 ________ down on
others if they still have last year’s model of some gadget. Those people will always be behind the
curve just because of how fast technology is advancing now.
