= Katie M. = = Period 1 = = = __New Appliances__

= Technology has changed all of our lives very dramatically. One of the ways it has done this is by upgrading older appliances into newer ones. When my parents were kids they had television, but it was different from the ones we have now. They wouldn’t sit in front of it for hours because when it would be a nice, clear, sunny day they would be outside hanging out with their friends. But, when it would be a rainy day they would be stuck inside. Their television was not as good as the ones we have now. Theirs would be black and white and they would have a couple of channels to choose from. Our television right now is so much better. It has any color imaginable and some televisions have over 200 channels. Obviously there has been a big difference. =

===Vacuum cleaners have also been updated over the past years. They used to just be moveable brushes with a plastic cover and a pole to hold onto it. But now they are all plastic with a tube to hold the dirt and dust in it. Plus, they can clean better because they suck stuff up through a hole on the bottom of it. To clean with the older vacuum cleaners you have to go over the same spot over and over again. Your arm will start to hurt because it takes a long time to clean a whole house. How do I know this? Well one time I used one of those, and I will never do it again.===
