watch from what you've watch already and it looks at what type of films/series you would
like.An advantage of this is you can watch something you like quickly from suggestions so
you don't struggle browsing.

or Skype from across the country. An advantage of this is it is faster and easier to talk to
your family or friends.

don't need to buy a camera you could just use your phone.Another example is you don't
need a mp3 player anymore because you can listen to music on your phone. an advantage

players or cameras will not be needed anymore.
