Living in the Digital Age

Technology is no longer a separate subject; it is how we live. We "zoom," we "swipe," we "post." Verbs have evolved.

Device Vocabulary "My battery is dead." "I need a charger." "The screen is cracked." "My wifi is lagging." These are the complaints of modern life. Being able to troublshoot tech issues in English is a massive practical skill.

Social Media "Tag me," "DM me," "Share this." The language of social media is fast and informal. "Influencers" create "content" that goes "viral." Understanding this landscape is key to modern marketing and social interaction.

Security "Password," "Hacker," "Scam," "Two-factor authentication." Safety online is critical. Knowing how to protect your "data" and "privacy" is a conversation we must all have.
