Mobile Phones

Hi gang, something I've been thinking about from Monday's lesson was what Julia and Lauren said about Gypsies using telephones to keep in touch with family members. I was surprised by this, because the stereotype of Gypsies presents them as less technologically proficient.

However, I thought that the parallels between this and our own modern dependence on mobile phones was really interesting. For the majority of us, our mobile phones are our connection with our families and home. They connect us - pardon the pun :) - to our old way of living, our home countires, our friends...I'd like to explore this idea practically.
