My favorite piece of technology


Every time people think of techonolgy  things like computers, ipods, or modern cell phones come to their minds. In my personal case, it's different. When I think of technology, I think of my hair straightener.

It may sound a bit shallow, but the truth is my favorite piece of technology is my hair straightener.
I couldn't live without it!

Hair straighteners are a great device for women (and even for some men). We can get our hairs done in a few minutes without going to the hairdresser's. They can be used to straighten or even make waves in one's hair.

In my personal case, I use it every day because my natural hair is wavy.

I got my hair cut last year. I decided to change its style and try  the "bob" hairstyle.
The straight short bob was something I always wanted to try. I never dared to because I don't like the way it looks in me with my waves.




I wanted to get a "new look" and change from my long wavy hair to a straight short bob, so a friend gave me the straightener as a birthday present. In this way, she encouraged me to change. With this magic piece of technology I could easily look like a different person.






If I didn't have my straightener, I think I wouldn't feel comfortable with my new  appearance.This is why I think it's definetly one of the best inventions in the world!

Write about your favourite piece of technology.

Say:

- What it is.
- When you got it.
- How you use it.
- How often you use it.
- Why you like it.
- What life would be like without it.
- Write comments on at least three blogs.
