   Describe an IT problem and explain what happened and how you solved the problem.
   

It had taken place 2 years earlier. Heavy rain was falling that day. I got a call when I was going down the street. He's a friend and I started talking to him. A little later, the call was interrupted and I was surprised. My phone turned off and molded. I wanted to go home and power it but it didn't power. I tried many times. And then I took him to the telephone master. He said that water had entered the
phone after checking it. He said he would fix it tomorrow

   Speak about your favorite gadget.
   

My favourite gadget is the Mobile Phone. In addition to the standard voice function of a mobile phone, telephone, current mobile phones may support many additional services, and accessories, such as SMS for text messaging, email, packet switching for access to the Internet, gaming, Bluetooth, infrared, camera with video recorder and MMS for sending and receiving photos and video, MP3 player, radio and GPS. Most current mobile phones connect to a cellular network of base stations (cell sites), which is in turn interconnected to the public switched telephone network. A mobile phone typically has a telephone keypad, more advanced devices have a separate key for each letter. Some mobile phones have a touchscreen.
Mobile Phone made my life much easier because with that I can do everything. It combines a lot of things that I like a lot and I can do all of them in one single dispositive, it's awesome!
