Technology plays a pivotal role in today's generation. It's useful in almost every aspect of our lives. Today, I'd like to describe a piece of technology that I find difficult to use: a laptop. I got this laptop from my brother who used it during his graduation. He passed it down to me because I asked for it, as one of my friends had one. I thought it would be useful for my graduation course. However, I hardly used it. I got it after completing my 12th grade, before starting college. Mostly, I use it for making presentations or seminars, but I only do this once every two or three months. I don't use it more often. I mainly use it for watching movies, searching for study-related videos on YouTube, or watching movies with friends. I feel that laptops are very useful in many ways, but I find them difficult to use because I only know limited functions. I only know some basic functions of Word, Excel, Paint, drawing, and transferring data from my phone to the laptop. That's it. There are so many other functions that are useful in everyone's life. There are so many apps and software used in the IT sector. Though I'm not an IT student, I think there are many features that everyone should know about.
