Neglecting Techonolgy in KSA

[Mr. big]

The majority of the elderly in Saudi Arabia do not appreciate technology. They believe that computers, Internet, mobiles,TV sets and VCRs are introduced to our culture on purpose to corrupt youngsters' life. Unluckily, some of the the youngsters hold such beliefs. They neglect the significance of computers and the Internet as modern tools created to facilitate our fast-paced life. I hope, in the near future, that such phony ideas and perceptions will change and see each individual carrying a laptop

You have marked the words mobiles and TV in the passage above as wrong . However, you did not provide convincing reasons why you marked them so.

Iam waiting for your reply
