TASK 1
What advantages do mobile phones offer to people? Employers would
67
probably say that one of the most important advantages is that they can
138
keep in touch with their employees wherever they may be or whatever
206
they may be doing. Mobile phones are particularly useful for sales staff
280
who may be out on the road most of the time as they can keep in touch
350
at all times.
363
Mobile phones also enable staff to keep in touch with customers. If a
434
salesperson is caught in a traffic jam on his way to meet a customer, he
507
will be able to phone the customer to explain what has happened. If
576
necessary, he will be able to make another appointment straightaway.
644
Mobile phones are very useful for lots of people in their everyday lives.
718
Women especially feel a real sense of security by having a mobile
784
phone with them. If an emergency should happen, they can then use
851
their phone to get help.

TASK 1
Wire free technology, known as wi fi, has greatly expanded over the past
73
few years. Wherever people are, wi fi enables them to communicate
140
with anyone almost anywhere in the world. The coverage required is
208
improving every day, enabling more and more people to take advantage
277
of this technology.
296
The technology enables people to communicate using their laptops and
365
their mobile phones.
A wireless network will enable a desktop
433
computer to connect to a laptop computer so that files can be shared
502
between the two systems.
526
Another service which wire free technology provides is the ability to
596
share a broadband connection. While people are out and about, it
662
enables them to communicate with their desktop computer and also
731
the network system at their place of work.
769
Research is continuing into the development of this remarkable
832
technology. Who knows where it might lead.
