WECHAT INTRODUCES GUNZ DASH!

        I still remember back in early high school when the Nokia 5110 was "Ooooooooh gadget". The gadget that seemed like it was from the future. And I remember watching the very few students who had one at our school, and wondering why they keep fiddling with their phones non-stop. Were they texting a novel? Wasn’t texting expensive back then? And then I felt stupid afterwards when I found out that there was a built-in game in the phone. The snake. And apparently that’s what they’ve been fiddling with on their phones.

        Technology has come a long way. And now, 15 years later, smartphones rule the world. And we can’t live without them. It can now do so much more than calls, text, alarms, and snakes. It can surf  the net, it can download lots of applications, and you can play awesome games with amazing graphics in it!
