Describe a piece of equipment that is important in your home Cue Card

How you got it (or, who, bought it)?
What you use it for?
How often you use it?
And explain why you think this thing is useful?

In these modern days and ages, electronic equipment is a necessity of life since they help us take care of many important tasks rather quickly and easily. Today, I would like to talk about one such piece of electronic equipment here which I find extremely useful. I have a nice-looking refrigerator of a renowned brand. It is moderate in size and it is a piece of great electronic equipment and runs around the day and night.

My father bought it almost five years ago. Since 2015, I have been using the fridge continuously and without any sort of trouble.  In fact, this is the only electronic equipment at my home that works continuously. But it consumes less power than the average refrigerators. Besides, the quality of foods remains fresh in the refrigerator The fridge has a couple of drawers where I can place my raw vegetables and other food grains for a better store. The foods remain fresh for a long time.

This is very useful electronic equipment for me for many reasons. we love to take various types of foods but I cannot manage them to cook all the time. So, I preserve the raw materials in a prepared state and just fry or cook in the oven when demanded. It has saved my time and energy. Besides, the fridge is spacious and has ample storage. So, when I go for groceries, I collect items that I will need later and store them in the fridge. It saves my time and physical effort. By the way, it is expensive electronic equipment, but when we think about how much it makes our life easier, we completely forget about its price and maintenance issues.

Follow-ups

 1. How do you think modern technology has changed the way we work (compared to the past)?

Technology has completely changed the way companies collaborate. Technology has helped us connect with people anywhere and at any time. This increased collaboration has brought a high level of flexibility in communication that allows employees, co-workers, and managers to connect with each other easily.

 2. Do you think that operating equipment at work can ever have some bad effect on the body?

Yes, Operating equipment can have a worse effect, if the persons are not trained to handle that equipment. Accidents can happen and people can lose their lives also if machines malfunction.

3. Do you think it’s important for employees (in-industry) to be trained to use the equipment at work?

Yes definitely, Employee training programs help improve the knowledge and skills of employees to match the various changes in the industry. Some of the things employees may learn through training include work ethics, human relations, and safety.

4. Do you agree that older people have difficulties in using (advanced) modern equipment? How can we help elderly people to use these modern devices?

The elderly have trouble catching up with new developments in technology because computers and the internet are fundamentally novel. In my opinion, family members can also help the elderly in their homes and encourage them to learn this kind of skill. Through simple instructions from family members, using smartphones and computers can become a routine task.

5. Are there any disadvantages of using modern equipment too much in the home?

over-dependence on technology has led to many health-related problems, due to less physical activity and less utilization of our brains, making us less creative. Moreover, it makes us lazy. All the activities which required energy and burn calories are presently doing by these autonomous devices, which make us lethargic.
