The piece of technology that I'd like to talk about is my car. It's a 25-year-old Mercedes Benz. It has really funny lights. I expected it to be about 15 or maybe 20 years old, but it's actually 25 years old. I didn't acquire it myself; I discovered it was bought by my father. He bought it for a really low price because it was so old, from an elderly couple. We use it often because we have to drive, for example, to the shop to buy some vegetables or other goods. And we use it because it's working. Yes, it's not working very well, like we expected, but it's working. I think that's it.
