Remember books？ The paper kind．With pages．In the old days before computers，to get information，people read books and newspapers．Students spent hours and hours in the library，looking for information in the old books for homework． Now students can find anything on the internet in seconds．The library was a place where everyone was quiet． Sing along to music？Never! Watch a movie on phone while they are reading？ Impossible! But now students can watch videos about their research topic as they write a paper．

Before computers， articles were handwritten． If a student made a mistake， he would throw the paper away and start writing all over again． Now？ If a student makes a mistake， he can just remove or cut it． Students type on their computers and edit （编辑） freely． But they should save their writing in time on the computer because it may stop working suddenly． Who wants to lose his hard work forever？

Communication online is easy and fun． While students are writing ， they can discuss with friends in another window ．Did you think they were chatting （聊天） with someone in the real same room？ No! They're chatting with everyone in their own room．

Technology helps us get important information in no time．In areas where bad weather is a problem，we can get warnings from our phone． Our local radio or TV station can give information about where to get help or what to do to keep our family and home safe．

Technology is our friend!

There are many reasons why I encourage people to travel，and I know that the experience will make one a better person．

I remember when I was traveling，I began to know the world better．The world is not just about me，my small town and home．Although you will meet different people from all over the world，you will realize that people are similar in their dreams， hopes and feelings．Enjoy exploring（探索）the different cultures，and you will also find that people are different in some of the things they do and how they live．Once you understand their ways，it will not be strange or scary（吓人的）．Often we read stories about other cultures in books．Only when we visit their areas，do we find that those stories are something wrong．

One thing you may find out is that there are problems all over the world．We can't just get money to send to these areas and hope that will work them out．The world should get involved（干预）and help wherever there are problems．People everywhere should be given a chance．It is so easy to ignore（忽视）this if one does not travel or explore．One can look around and see that so many people have many challenges（挑战）worse than ours．One can realize that sometimes our biggest problems are not that big after all．
