Persuasive Writing-Computer

Don’t You Know What Skype Is?

“Grandma why don’t we just skype my other Grandad using my laptop”... “Skype?”:

This is a piece of persuasive writing trying to convince the elderly to use laptops/devices.Some peoples Grandparents don't even know how to use computers.Mine do, but this writing is for people whose grandparents don't…

If you want to ever contact someone you  can just use the world wide web to do this using things like Skype,Gmail,Facebook and many more! Its a fast quick way to talk to people you love and people you don’t.This way of contact is very cheap in fact most of its free,so next time you want to contact someone no more pesky prices for stamps! The internet is a fast free way to contact people.

Whenever you want to buy something no more driving to the store,just look online.Most of the time you can get them better for cheaper if you buy online.Statistics show that most sales nowadays are from an online store because it's a easier way to shop that saves more time.If you use this over going to the store you will get discounts more often so you get a better price.Also there are lots of products that have been released online only so its a premium exclusive.This use of websites over a use of stores,sure it may make you feel lazier,but it's a faster cheaper way to buy.

If you like to play Boggle/Scrabble there are plenty of online/offline versions of that and there are many other games that you can play not just board games.You can also play internet invented games like Fireboy And Watergirl,Duck Life and many more! There are also a lot of offline games to choose from,if you like strategy then you can choose something like peggle/plants vs zombies.If you like action games you can choose things like Call Of Duty/Street Fighter.There are many other game categories you can choose from but these games sometimes cost money,but it is good if you play scrabble online with your friends!

If you ever get bored of tv or need some inspiration for a nice cabbage related meal,you can just search it up on Youtube.Youtube is a free online service that allows you to watch videos other people have uploaded,if you want to see anything most of the time it will be there (other than most tv shows).Youtube is a fast free way to find out how to cook something,make something or just stay entertained! there are also other websites like Tvnz On Demand,Hulu and Netflix that allow you to watch any tv show you want (TVNZ On Demand only plays Kiwi shows shown on free services) but Netflix and Hulu will allow you to watch basically any show in the world whenever you want for a small price!

Mind you if you do get a computer there are lots of risks like;

Getting a virus,someone scamming you to steal your money,people who track your location and hack all of your personal details.There are also people who will say that things are good and legit online but they're not there are viruses trying to break your computer and take all of your personal details.Computers can also give you headaches and eye aches.All this may seem scary but it's not… You can just get an antivirus and anti malware to protect you from internet criminals.

Because where there is risks, there is also good fortune...
