Paragraph 1
In the last 100 years, life has changed tremendously. For example, you use tablets and e-books at school, while your parents had books, notebooks and workbooks. Your grandparents had only a few books and had to write most of the stuff they had to learn in their notebooks, and your great grandparents wrote on small boards with special chalk. Let's have a look at some of the modern-time gadgets and gizmos, designed specially for children and students, to make their life easier. No doubt, adults will find them useful, too.

Paragraph 2
Have you ever overslept not because you didn't hear the alarm clock but because you ignored it? And, as a result, you were late to school or missed your morning class? If so, the alarm clock on wheels is a perfect solution to your problem. When it gets off, you must get up. If you want sleep just a minute longer, and put it to snooze, it will simply jump off your desk, drive away and hide from you. While doing this, it will produce a constant beeping sound and the only way of silencing its alarm/shutting it down is to get out of bed. Running after it will certainly wake you up completely.

Paragraph 3
Do you take a shower in the evening or in the morning? How long do you spend in the shower – a few minutes, half an hour or more, or sometime in between? Taking long showers may be fun, but also the reason of spending too much water, being late to school and arguing with your parents for both of these reasons. Here's the solution to this problem: shower clock. This small device is actually not a clock, but a timer. Before going into the shower, you set it to the length of time you want and it will tell you when's the time to get out.

Paragraph 4
Everybody sometimes misplaces their belongings and spends a lot of time looking for them, their house keys, glasses, mobile phones. And when they find them, you realise they were right there in front of your nose the whole time, or in a pocket you've checked twice already? Finding a mobile phone is easy – you just ask mum or dad to call you, unless its battery is dead. If you are forgetful, then Stick-N-Find stickers are the right thing for you. They are small and light and you can stick them to almost anything. To activate them one has to download a special application which works as a radar. Unfortunately, these small radars cannot detect things that are far away so even with a Stick-N-Find sticker you won't be able to find the phone that you're looking for at home, but was left in the school locker.

Paragraph 5
Has anyone ever hacked into your computer and caused you a lot of trouble? If so, you know how important it is to keep your passwords a secret even from your best friends. Also, you probably have more than one passwords and may find it difficult to remember them all. In addition, everybody needs to change their passwords regularly. To remember them, we write them down on pieces of paper only to find out later that we can't find them any more. Here's a device that will help you remember your passwords for you: The Password Manager. Some password managers can store up to 3000 information, such as passwords, user names, web sites and addressed, and many more. The only problem is that you need a password to operate this device, too.
