Mentor Text for Controlling and Supporting Ideas
By,
9th grade student from Sam Houston
From the creation of time, humans have adapted and evolved to survive and create progress. From the creation of the wheel, man has invented new ways to improve people’s lives. One of the inventions man has created has revolutionized the modern world, with the creation of the Iphone. The Iphone is the new technology that has affected and changed people’s lives. The Iphone lets their owner communicate through calls and texting. Not only that, it allows you to explore photos and videos with high-definition quality. This eliminates the need to carry a camera around, and allows people to reach others from anywhere around the globe. As a result, society is able to now use this device throughout their daily experiences from work to leisure. With these features, it has made people do things in a much faster and easier manner. Not only is the Iphone a form of communication, it’s also a source of information. With the Iphone you can eliminate the need to carry a bulky, large laptop around due to its reasonable, transportable, smaller size. The Iphone allow you to stream the web in record fast speed, from Google, Firefox, Youtube, and even social networking sites such as Facebook. Also, with many apps to choose from including a GPS to Angry Birds, the Iphone is everything in one-single phone. Therefore, this device offers information to people in different contexts throughout their daily lives. The Iphone is a new technology that affects people’s lives. From a faster-way to communicate, to an easier way to search the web, the IPhone has changed lives for a variety of people. Essentially, it is one more step into the future of progress.
