    Last month, I got a new wireless earphone. The moment I unboxed it, I was attracted by its compact design. Pairing it with my phone was effortless. I started using it during my daily commute. The sound quality was excellent, and the noise-cancellation feature was a plus. It made my journey more enjoyable as I could listen to my favorite music without being disturbed by the outside noise. This new device has truly enhanced my daily life experience.

    During high school, I got my first mobile phone as a gift from my parents for my academic promotion. I quickly learned how to use the phone and became proficient in doing various things with it, such as online shopping, chatting with friends, watching TV series, and so on. For me, the most convenient feature of the phone is mobile payment. With a phone, I no longer need to carry a wallet, nor do I have to worry about losing money. Indeed, the phone has brought great convenience to my life.

    Last year, I got a smartwatch for the first time. When I unboxed it, I was really excited. I started exploring its functions right away. It had a sleek design and a colorful touch screen.
     
    At first, I learned how to set the time and customize the watch face to match my style. Then, I discovered its fitness-tracking features. I went for a jog wearing it, and it accurately recorded my steps, distance covered, and even my heart rate throughout the run.
     
    What's more, it could receive notifications from my smartphone, like messages and calls. So when I was busy doing something and couldn't reach my phone easily, I could just glance at my smartwatch to know if there was anything important. That was a really cool experience starting to use this new technological device, and now it has become an essential part of my daily life.

    When I first entered college, I needed to finish a paper on chemistry. Due to my lack of professional knowledge, I am sure that I need to use my mobile phone to complete this paper with the help of my mobile phone. As expected, the information in the mobile phone was endless. I was travelling in it. When I landed, my thesis was completed.

I spent some time exploring the features and settings, customizing it to my preferences.

    As soon as I woke up in the morning, my smartwatch had been shaking for a while, telling me it was time to wake up. It's like my personal secretary, telling me if I slept well last night and reminding me of important things to do today. I have dinner with friends at night, and when I check out, I just need to lightly tap my watch to pay. It's really convenient, and I no longer have to worry about not finding my wallet or running out of battery on my phone.

    When I first got my hands on the new smartphone, there was an immediate sense of excitement mixed with a bit of nervousness. The sleek design and the crisp display were immediately noticeable, and I couldn't help but admire how modern and advanced it looked compared to my old device.

     

    Unboxing was almost a ritual; carefully removing each component, setting aside the charger, cables, and manual, and then powering on the phone for the first time. The initial setup process was guided by an intuitive on-screen assistant that walked me through connecting to Wi-Fi, signing into my accounts, and choosing privacy settings. It felt like a fresh start, and I was eager to customize the device to suit my preferences.

     

    One of the first things I did was transfer my data from the old phone to the new one. This included syncing contacts, messages, and media files. Fortunately, the new phone came with a seamless migration tool that made this process relatively painless. Once everything was transferred, I started downloading my essential apps—social media platforms, productivity tools, and entertainment services.

     

    Customizing the home screen was next. I arranged the icons in a way that made sense to me, created folders to organize similar apps, and set up widgets for quick access to information like weather updates or calendar events. I also experimented with different wallpapers and themes to give the phone a personal touch.

     

    Exploring the new features was both exciting and overwhelming. There were so many improvements over my old phone: a better camera, faster processor, improved battery life, and new software functionalities. I spent hours reading through the user manual and online forums to fully understand what my new device could do. I even watched tutorial videos to learn about advanced features like augmented reality (AR) apps or using the voice assistant more effectively.

     

    Finally, I took some time to familiarize myself with the security settings. Setting up biometric authentication, like fingerprint or facial recognition, and configuring two-factor authentication for my accounts gave me peace of mind knowing that my personal data was secure.

     

    Overall, the experience of setting up and getting used to a new technological device is a blend of discovery, learning, and personalization. It's a chance to explore new capabilities and integrate the latest technology into daily life, making tasks easier and more enjoyable.

    I first used a robotic vacuum cleaner when I was in junior high school. Before that, I had seen many advertisements about it and thought it was amazing and could effectively avoid obstacles. Later, my mother bought it and I only needed to download an app and connect it to the robotic vacuum cleaner. Even if I wasn't at home, I could freely control it to sweep the floor and charge it myself. I think it's a great invention

    After the college entrance examination, I changed a new mobile phone, which is a new brand. I changed my brand to iPhone. This is my first time using iPhone. Using this phone gives me a very different experience. First, the iPhone feels very silky, which makes me feel good. Secondly, the iPhone is more realistic and I think I have taken a lot of good pictures with it. But there are times when the iPhone's reception is poor and it's not easy to use.

    When I first came into contact with the word pen in high school, when I picked it up to scan the words, the clear and accurate pronunciation was immediately transmitted, and the detailed definitions, parts of speech, example sentences and other contents were displayed on the screen, which was much faster than the dictionary query. When I recite the words every morning, its circular repetition function helps me deepen my memory; It can also answer questions in time when you encounter new words when doing reading exercises. The experience of touching the word pen for the first time made me feel the efficiency and convenience of technology-assisted learning. It not only improved my English learning efficiency, but also filled me with more enthusiasm and expectations for learning new knowledge. It became my right-hand assistant in my high school study life and accompanied me to constantly explore and move forward in the ocean of knowledge.

    As a freshman, getting my first laptop was thrilling. I'd just moved into the dorm, and it arrived in a sleek box. Unboxing it, the shiny silver body looked so high-tech. After quickly plugging it in to charge, I powered it up. Setting up the operating system was a breeze with the step-by-step wizard.
     Once ready, I explored the pre-installed apps. I connected to the campus Wi-Fi, and boom! I could access e-books, lecture slides, and online courses right away. Typing notes for my first-year classes was smooth, and the sharp display made studying diagrams a joy. That laptop became my study sidekick from day one, opening up a whole new world of college learning.

    I always remember the scene when I used the dictionary pen for the first time. It's a kind of pen that can look up the meaning of an unknown word by simply swiping it. For me who didn't have electronic products in high school, it brings me a great convenience.And I was greatly attracted by its powerful functions at the moment I first used .It can not only translate the meaning of words, but also list sentence examples, give synonyms and antonyms, and draw inferences about other cases from one instance which appearently gave me great confidence and pleasure in learning English.

Also used it for solving problems and answering questions. It made things easier compared to the time when we can only ask teachers to solve problems.
