Homelessness is a problem in many big cities in the world. It occurs when a part of the population does not have any place to call home. Hundreds of millions of people in the world spend at least some time of the year homeless. This is an issue that the authorities are trying to . However, there are more things that each person can do to help those people. One of the things that you can do to help the homeless is to your time. If you have a lot of free time, you might go on an extended trip to help homes or improve an impoverished area. Even with just a few hours a week, it is possible to make an impact in your own city. You can also sign up to help at a soup kitchen: most cities have a mission of some kind helping food to the homeless and offering temporary shelter.
Read the passage and answer the following questions.
A smart phone is a mobile phone built on a mobile operating system, with more advanced computing abilities than a common phone. The first smart phones enabled users to send and receive emails. Later models added the function of portable media players, pocket video cameras, and GPS navigation units to form one multi-use device. Many modern smart phones also include touchscreens and web browsers that display web pages.
A recent report says we spend an average of two hours and 40 minutes each day looking at a smart phone. That doesn’t mean making calls, but playing phone games and browsing the Web.
Nowadays we always find people checking emails in a restaurant, taking a picture of the food when it arrives, or checking a message during a conversation instead of traditional communication. It’s no secret that our lives are being affected by our smart phone’s obsession.
However, this phenomenon has never been presented so vividly as in the short film I Forgot My Phone. Despite only being online on YouTube for a few days, it has already been viewed more than 10.5 million times. Whether it will be screened in the cinema remains to be seen.
Ironically, YouTube’s data show that the site gets a billion views per day from mobile devices, so a lot of those people watched it on their phones.
The short film, written by and starring actress Charlene deGuzman, shows that people obsessed with being more connected to others through their smartphones than who they are physically with in the real world. To a certain extent, we all do it.
