Write about your favorite invention. What has made your life easier since you’ve been using it? Who makes it and what does it do? What are the benefits of this invention? What are the negative results of using this invention? If you could improve it, what would you do?

My favorite invention is the IPhone. It is made by Apple and it is many things at one time. It combines a cell phone, an mp3/video player, two cameras, speakers, a computer and other devices. It works on both wireless data from the chosen cell phone carrier and Wi-Fi. It makes life easier by putting all over the listed devices into one unit that can fit into either your hand or your pocket. It also allows you to be constantly connected to your friends, family, breaking news, emails, weather reports, music, podcasts, video entertainment, games and more. The downside and negatives of owning an IPhone are being tracked by the government through GPS and tapping of the camera/microphone, it is also a very addictive device because you feel compelled to be constantly checking all of the different apps for updates. It also is criticized for having a short battery life, a subjective judgment, and an opinion that I don't necessarily agree with. Overall I think the IPhone has moved the tech world forward in an intriguing way, allowing us to access information at will and keeping us constantly entertained.
