Text 1
DISHWASHER
A dishwasher is a device that can easily be found in restaurants and private
homes. It is very useful because it helps people clean dishes and eating-utensils.
In 1887, Josephine Cochrane invented the first dishwasher. She made the
machine because her servants often broke her lovely ceramic dishes. Since then the
dishwashers have continuously improved until today.
Modern dishwashers are made of stainless steel and consist of a front drawing-
door for loading dishes, a wire rack for the dirty crockery, a rotating sprayer and a
drying element. The standard width and depth is 60 cm or 23 inches in Europe and in
the US.
Dishwashers clean the dirt from the dishes by spraying hot water, typically
between 55° and 75°C. The water is mixed with detergent. Then the mixture is pumped
by rotating spray arms which spray it onto the dishes. When the washing process
finishes, the water is drained and more hot water is pumped in for a rinsing process.
The final process is to heat the dishes to dry them. The whole process needs 15 to 20
minutes.

Mobile Phone

A mobile phone (also known as a wireless phone, cell phone, or cellular

telephone) is a very small portable radio telephone.
The first mobile phone networks were created in the late 1970s in Japan. A
cell phone combines technologies, mainly telephone, radio, and computer. Cell
phones work as two-way radios. They send electromagnetic microwaves from base
station to base station. The waves are sent through antennas. This is called wireless
communication.
There are different kinds of phones. A flip phone flips open, and is best for
calling. A bar phone is shaped like a candy bar, and the keys and screen are on one
face. A slate phone is a phone that has almost no buttons, and uses a touch screen.
Most smartphones are slates. A slider phone slides on rails. It can slide out number
keys or a mini keyboard, but some do both. A swivel spins on an axle.
Many 21st century mobile phones are smartphones. These phones can be used
for email, browsing the internet, playing music and games, and many other functions
that computers can perform. This is because mobile phones basically are small
computers. Older phones also used computer technology, but lacked many of the
parts of a computer that were too big to fit into a phone. Modern phone makers have
been able to use smaller parts. Most smartphones are also GPS receivers and digital
cameras.
