Keeping in Touch

Scott

I love technology （科技）. When theres a new kind of tablet computer or a new smartphone（智能手機） in the shops， I have to buy it. A lot of people my age dont do that. Im 76. I never throw them away （將他們扔掉）， but I keep them in my home. I even keep（保留） the old ones that I dont use. I only use one mobile， one tablet and one desktop computer. I use them a lot - I download （下載） films and music and I use social networking sites a lot. Its a good way to keep in touch （保持聯絡） with old friends. And its helping me to make a lot of new friends， too.

I live in Toronto， but my son and his kids live in New Zealand. I go there or they come to visit（看望） me every year. But we speak most days—video chat（視頻聊天） helps us to stay in touch. I think the kids—my grandchildren—like speaking to me on the screen.（屏幕） Theyre always very chatty（健談的） and sociable. But when we meet in Toronto or in New Zealand， theyre shy （害羞的）. When I was young， my friends and I met and talked. Now young people go online. The worlds changing！

I love people and I hate（討厭） computers. My only phone is a landline（固定電話）. Landline phones were Ok for my parents and my grandparends， and thats Ok for me. I like to meet my friends， neighbours and family. When I want to talk to someone， I go to their home. If they are in， we have a chat. If theyre not there， I come back home. I dont mind. I like walking！ My sons and my grandchilren always saying，“Come on， you have to get a computer， you have to get a mobile（移動電話）—then you can do video chat！” Well， I dont want to use mobiles and computers and smartphones and the Internet！ Im happy as I am.
