I used to think it was a phone, but now I confidently say that it's difficult to live without a computer, especially a laptop. Right now, we have a lot of new technologies, and I think that the computer's function is similar to that of a telephone. Many people say that the telephone is compact and comfortable to use, but it's not for me. In my student years, I always spent all my time with a computer, with a laptop. I find it comfortable to work with a laptop. The reason I can't live without it is that it's directly related to my profession. I'm an IT specialist, and I spend all my time with a computer. I explore new functions on a computer that aren't available on phones, and I confidently say that the computer is better than a phone.
