Unit8: Computers in our lives !

Computers are very important part of our lives. Did you know that 60% of homes in Britain have got a PC (a personal computer)?
For many young people, playing computer games is their favorite way of spending spare time.
The smart home is now a real possibility. It will become very common. A central computer will adjust the temperature, act as a burglar alarm and switch on lights ready for you to come back home.
And of course you will be able to give new instructions to the computer from your mobile phone. So if your plans change, your home will react to match.
Many homes have got lots of televisions and several computers.
Are computers taking over our lives? In survey, 44 per cent of young people between 111 and 16 said their PC was a trusted friend. 20% said they were happier at they computers than spending time with family or friends. Another surveys found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone, texting and reading e-mails that they no longer have time for conversation. What do you think about that?
