      gadget girl

      Once upon a time, a school essay had to be tapped out on a

      typewriter instead of a keyboard. A rented movie was a tape that said

      “Be kind, rewind!” on the case. If you missed an episode of your favor-

      ite TV show, you could only hope to see it the next summer, when the

      channel showed it again. Games mostly came in boxes. Birthday cards

      only came in paper envelopes. The telephone was attached to a wall!

      Today, all those things have changed because of gadgets that make life

      faster and easier than ever before—gadgets that put a whole world at

      a girl’s fingertips. These gadgets are changing how we work and play in

      ways that we never could have imagined only a few years ago.

      Today, it’s a

      snap to . . .

      do research for school.

      play a game—solo.

      take a pic—

      with besties.

      make a

      movie.

      learn something new.

      read your

      favorite book.

      stream a TV show—

      whenever.

      listen to tunes—

      wherever.

      communication scene

      Gadgets are changing how we do things, but that’s not all. They’re also

      changing how we express ourselves and spend time together. Words like

      friend and chat have whole new meanings in the digital world. Words

      like blog and e-mail have been created to name technologies as they’ve

      been invented. A girl can shine on the online stage in many more ways

      than before, but the technologies and sites you can use depend on how

      old you are.

      Stay in touch with

      quick messages
