Mobile Phones
These things here are quite the marvel! Muggles of all ages carry them around with them everywhere they go and use them for all sorts of things! Muggles can do amazing things with their technology. These phones can call another phone and two muggles can talk to each other from very long distances without any delay. They can use camera's on their phones to take pictures of everything that they do and even connect two cameras from two phones and see each other while they are talking from very long distances. These phones don't just stop there. They can type on these phones and send short notes or long letters to someone with another phone and that person gets it straight away without any worry or delay. Muggles can even do things like browse the internet, which you'll learn about in higher years, and find all the worlds information that muggles have ever stored in one space on their phone instantly! They use them to connect with people through places on the internet and to find information that helps them with their everyday lives and tasks. Most muggles even have games on these phones that they play for entertainment.
Muggles use phones for almost all types of communication, and they have really stopped being just about calling someone and more like a personal computer that everyone can fit in their pocket. Incredibly easy to take care of, all they have to do is plug it in to charge the battery and pay a bit of money every month so that it works and they can use their phone for whatever they want. Sadly, the majority of muggles are so interested in what is on their phones that they do not pay attention to the world around them, and often times don't even talk to each other or interact with anyone because they are on their phone. It is not uncommon to see a vast area full with muggles, and all of them on their phones. Very sad really. If fact muggles value phones so much that they really don't talk to anyone unless it is on the phone. Many muggles will go weeks without talking to a single person unless on the phone, and usually through text or the internet.
HOMEWORK
Is the muggle fascination with phones a good thing or a bad thing? What do you think would happen to the muggle world if no one had a phone that worked at all.
