Everything __DO__ in less than half an hour.
Nothing surprising about that, you might say.
But then I suddenly remembered how things __BE__ when I was a child.
If my parents wanted to go away they __NOT CAN__ use the Internet – because there was no Internet.
They __HAVE__ to phone a travel agent or drive into town and go to a travel agency.
It’s the same thing with phones. Once when I was a teenager I __GO__ out with my friends and missed the last bus home.
Of course, none of __WE__ had a mobile phone.
So we went hours __SEARCH__ for a phone box so we could call for a taxi. Eventually, we managed to find one, but by then it was two in the moming. In those days mobile phones were an expensive luxury. Even if you had one, you were only able to use it in big cities because there was no signal in the countryside.
And they were huge – not much __SMALL__ than a home brick.
I’m sure that in the future we __BE__ able to make them small enough to wear as a ring.
