The Transform of Communication Tools

                Have you ever use pager? Or have you ever the “old style” of mobile phone? Are you still listening music from radio tape? Well, as a digital native I’m sure that all of you have already known those things. Moreover now you have many communication technologies that more modern than the things that I mentioned above.

            Maybe for listening music, a few years ago we still use radio tape and cassette, but now we have mp3 player or even mp4 player which can save a lots of songs and video also for mp4 player and it is portable. We can save many songs that we like in our mp3 or mp4 player and we can replay the songs that we like again and again. The mp3 and mp4 players also can be used for learning languages. We can save the conversations or songs in English and we can replay it when we still can’t hear it clearly.

            In the other side there was also PDA. Well, although it doesn’t exist anymore now but we also can use it for learning languages. The PDA can open the pdf file although in little size. Honestly I don’t know well about the PDA because I never use it. But nowadays there is an iPad which is like computer but smaller and more stylish with the touch screen and we can zoon the screen and the screen size is wider than the PDA so we can read the file easier.

            About cell phone, there were many types of cell phones which have different functions. In the first era of cell phone the size is bigger than the cell phones now and it only can be used fro call. The next generation of cell phone can be used for send short message, and then it included the vga camera, radio fm, mp3 player, video player, voice recorder, internet, and also we can install many applications that we want in there. I’m sure that in the future we only need a mobile phone for doing our jobs because all function is in there. Even now there is.

            The mobile phone itself also can be used as the tool for learning language. we can download and install many applications about language like English-Indonesia dictionary, thesaurus dictionary, or even we can put not only English dictionary but also other languages dictionary inside. That’s why now to learn about language is easier. We don’t have to take much time for go to course and spend much money because there is the technology that make it more simple and easier.
