Part 3
Computer – impresses me because they can do a lot and upgrades are always being invented, so much that one day something unbelievable will come along
Nintendo Wii – this will change gaming because of how interactive it is
Phones – Phones started out as machines that could call and do nothing else, now they come in colour screens, with games, and can surf the web. They will definitely become something more.
Television – TV provides entertainment and there is always a need for it. They are always making clearer signals and bigger TVs with better quality.
iPod – impresses me because its entertains me so well with so much memory for so many things, and being so popular will cause more people to think up more ideas
