People love travelling. Technology has helped a lot in travelling faster than some years ago.
Travel in time will be possible in the future , so people will be able to travel back in time
to find where the Sphinxs nose is, to see the Titanic, the biggest ship ever, or to watch
the French Revolution. They will be able to travel in future too. That way, they will know

Afroditi Kiriakousi
Its clear that nobody cares about technology in schools. We only have some
computers that havent been updated since 1981 for I.T. Pupils really want to bring
phones and cameras to take photos. On the other hand, teachers dont allow pupils to
bring anything because they find it too bad. So, whats the solution to this problem?
Old fashioned technology is the key, teachers! Polaroid cameras are like regular
ones, but you can immediately print the photo and you dont see what youre taking
with your camera. But who cares? Its something to remember from school. What a
better place than school to take a nice photo with all your friends? Who needs school
photos when you can take your own personal photos without having to stick this fake,
frozen smile on your face? In my opinion, Polaroid cameras should be allowed in
schools because many pupils love taking photos with their friends at school, but they
arent allowed to. They could be kept during the lessons and they could be given back
to the kids during the break. That would be a nice thing for schools!

Social Media

D Class : Agia Paraskevi
Nowadays, the internet and the social media have become a part of our everyday life
and have made it easier. We use them every day and they are fun. First of all, our life
has become easier and we can communicate with other people at any moment. We can,
also, see pictures of other people. We can spend our time and find information of
important things that we dont want to miss. In addition, we can make friends and see
their pictures. We can also find a person that we havent talked to or seen for a long
time. If our friend is abroad or really far away, we can contact him/her very easily
and quickly through video calls. Generally, social media is a good way to spend our time
and its worth it!
Catherine Prousalidi
Some of the advantages of social media are that you can talk with your friends, make
new friendships with other people, read the weather forecast, the news and you can
also entertain yourself. Also, you can post photos and see the photos of your friends
accounts.
Sotiris Vasiliou
Social media are very good for people and we need them because they make our life
easier. For example, when you go to work or anywhere, you can download an application
to see things for your work or to talk with your friends while you are at work. You can
download applications to have fun in your free time. For example, on Instagram you can
see or post pictures and you have fun because you can like or dislike something or
post a comment to express your opinion. In my opinion, I think that social media are a
very nice idea, because you can do a lot of things and the most important is that you
have fun and you never get bored.
Angelos Kafatakis
Social media can offer us many things. But have we ever thought about the
disadvantages? One bad thing is that children sit for hours in front of a computer
screen, wasting their time playing games. Internet is also dangerous. When we write
our personal details, someone can use them to find us and harm us, cant he? Another
disadvantage is cyber bullying. Someone can bully you through Facebook and Twitter.
There are also some other bad things like inappropriate photos or videos or invalid
information. Finally, teenagers prefer texting messages to face to face communication.

Nowadays, that technology has developed rapidly, most people spend hours on the
internet as part of their daily routine. Thats why the internet has become a big part
of our lives in the last decade. A lot of people depend on the Internet. A great number
of people works through it and makes a lot of money. Things that we can do online
include shopping from e-shops, downloading music or movies - although sometimes this
is illegal - and use social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. to have more
likes, followers and share our pictures. More and more users have been using Youtube
and Instagram recently. In conclusion, I think that in the following years, we will
depend on social media more than today because more things will be done via them.
Irene Kalogeraki
Nowadays, teens use social media a lot. In my opinion, they are a unique way of
communication, but you should also be aware of the danger of using the internet. For
example, one of the positive things on social media is that you can share moments that
mean a lot to you with your friends, such as pictures or videos. On the other hand,
there are negative things too. For example, hackers are people whom you should be
aware of. They might be able to have access to your personal info, steal your password
and share it with strangers. This often happens with many celebrities. To sum up, social
media platforms are really useful, but you should also know some things in order to
use them safely.
Stefania Vasileiadou
Social networks are internet websites where you can make an account and communicate
with other people, advertise your work and make new friends, for example, Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter etc. There you can chat with your friends, post your photographs
and comment on various subjects. However, there are also many dangers when you use
social networks. We shouldnt publish our personal information like our telephone
number and our address. We should share our photos only with people we trust and we
should never chat with people we dont know.
Nickolas Marselis

D Class : Pallini
I think that social media are a big part of our lives the latest years. This could either
be good or bad. Some of the advantages are that through social media you can share
news, photos, ideas, become famous and a lot of other things. You can also talk to your
friends in real time or even make new friends. In addition, you have the freedom to
create and publish your own material. However there are a number of disadvantages as
well. For example there is cyber-bullying, haters and there could also be some more
serious problems like crimes against children. Also social media can make you addicted
to them and may also affect students marks. Lastly, they could also cause some health
problems.
Thomas Efthimiou
People use their phones to check on social media every day. I think that social media is
a useful tool but it can sometimes cause a lot of problems! On the one hand, you can
search for jobs or you can buy various things, like for example, clothes, shoes and so
on. You can also become famous through videos and make a lot of friends. On the other
hand, social media arent always safe! Students may end up making fake friends as
they arent always aware of the existing traps! They may also spend a lot of time
texting and even take selfies during the lessons in class. Also students sometimes
distracted on their phone instead of studying. To sum up, I think social media are useful
but people must be careful and aware of their many traps.
