Ruth: So Akane, what do you think about children today having mobile 1 phones?
Akane: Mobile phones? Well, I mean, I think they could be a good thing, I mean for safety reasons.
Ruth: Really?
Akane: Yes if I was a parent I think I would feel safer knowing that my child had a mobile phone and I could get in touch with them whenever I need to and if something happens like an emergency then they will be able to use the mobile phone.
Ruth: You see I would argue that they’re quite dangerous actually, because children don’t really have the best attention spans 2 anyway and often they could, for example, walk into the road whilst 3 they were talking on their mobile phone and generally not pay attention so I don’t think they’re very safe.
Akane: Well that’s a good point but that could also teach them responsibility 4 as well. If mobile phones are unsafe, I mean bicycles could be unsafe and toys could be unsafe, but that’s all part of growing up and I think that if you teach them responsibility, it shouldn’t be a big problem.
Ruth: But I think fewer children these days play on bikes than they used to; I think children are more dependent 5 upon technology and I see that as, as a definite 6 negative thing because children don’t play out as they used to before. They just stay in and watch TV and play on computer games.
Akane: True, true. I suppose so, but you know technology is a necessity 7 in our lives and in the future if we want them to become competent 8 in using technology and taking advantage of technology then I think it would be a good way to start.
Ruth: Don’t you think they are really expensive though? I mean, don’t…
Akane: Oh yeah, they are.
Ruth: If I was a parent though I would not want my child to be phoning people left, right and centre because it would cost so much money.
Akane: Well you could be right about that. They do cost a lot of money.
Ruth: Oh, I’m glad you agree. Well, yeah, like at least we agree about something now.
Akane: For sure.
