👉 A device for transmitting conversations and other sounds in real time across distances, now often a small portable unit also capable of running software etc.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look!
Today we’re tackling the word “phones,” and it's more than just a simple plea. The dictionary gives us a good start, you see –
“A device for transmitting conversations… across distances…”
That's the core, that’s the key,
To sending voices, wild and free!
Think of old telephones, big and grand,
Connecting folks throughout the land.
But now it’s changed, a speedy shift,
A little pocket device, a wonderful gift!
“Now often a small portable unit…” – that's right you know,
Fits in your hand, ready to go!
“…also capable of running software etc.” – That's where it gets quite clever, see?
It’s not just for calls, it can do so much more, agree?
It connects us to games and apps with glee,
A phone is a tool, for you and me!
So “phones” means communication, clear and bright,
A modern marvel, shining light!
