¿do you think thecnology has made us better at communicating?
ANSWER: I think thecnology has created more ways to communicate like phonecalls, social media, messages and much more other applications and functions, but I think that it may distract some people when they are talking face-to-face for example by interrupting a conversation and I consider that some people can be less honest when communicating trough devices like the cellphone and the computer because, after all, is not talking in front of each other and you can't see each other expresions, what you both are doing or hear the tone of their voice of each other; nonetheless, technology can be really useful to talk with people that you aren't capable to talk with because of how far apart you are from them and it could be also really useful to advice other people while in an urgent situation and when emergencies are occurring or to simply notify other people about any kind of current event or situation when you can't talk to them in person at the current moment.

Discuss. ¿how often do you communicate with friends and family on the week? imagine you didn't have a cell phone or a computer ¿how would you communicate with your friends and family?
ANSWER: I usually don't communicate that much with my family through my cellphone, computer or any other device maybe because I visit them in holidays and vacations but with my friends I do talk a lot with them  through my cell phone since we usually can't see each other in person, so I would say that I talk with my friends and my family at least five days in a week but the conversations aren't that long. If I didn't have a cellphone, a computer or any other thecnological device to communicate    with my friends i would probably communicate through a cable telephone but I am not fond of communicating through phone calls so other option I coul go for probably go to a cybercafe and there I would use computer to comunicate with them in the social media websites that can be found in the internet but even so I found that option rather unconfortable and I feel like it can be kind of a waste of money and time considering the amount of times that I talk with my family and friends throught the week.

Amber Case beliebelieves that, with calm thecnology, electronic devices will do all the boring, repetitive tasks in our lives. ¿How will this benefit us?
¿What negative impact might it have on us? 
ANSWER: I think that if this happens it might benefit us permitting us to do some things without  so much effort with just having some thecnological devices to do it, making our life more comfortable and easier by saving the time we would use for those tasks and using it in other kind of activities, but, in the other hand, there is also a lot of negative things that this can lead to, like making our health deteriorate because we wouldn't have the nessecity to move to do the tasks replaced by the calm thecnology so we would do a lot less activities like walking and some people may spend their days just resting and doing nothing, another problem is that theres a possibility that calm thecnology devices fail to fulfill their tasks, some of those tasks may be able to be replaced by the owner of those failing devices or new device, but theres the possibility that these errors affect your life to a bigger extent, for example the error may block your possibilities to fix it by blocking the entrance to a certain place or the access to certain object so it would be really hard to fix those errors and I think it would a money and time consuming activity.

Edite an opinion essay to answer the question:
¿can we live without smartphones?
ANSWER: In my opinnion living without smartphones is possible for all of us but it may be very difficult to get used to live without them since they were used for lots of different things including communication and entertaiment and the mayority of people get really attached to this devices but I think that nonetheless it is in fact possible to survive without them since smartphones are mayorly used for secondary tasks wich arent completely necessary. In the case that smartphones werent even created to me is very obvious that we would live normally since us humans have existed for thousand of years without this devices and smartphones are inventions that were created not so much long ago so in my opinion everyone is able to live without smartphones but that doesn't mean that living without them is better because of the great amount of advantages and functions that this devices have but even so this functions aren't completely necessary and they are mainly secondary.
