+Technology is everywhere. We see it any place we go to and, in fact, almost all of us carry some piece of technology with us every time we leave the house. We can't imagine our life without them. But what we always forget, though, is just how useful and powerful technology can be when we want to help others.

+There is not a single room in my house that does not have some gadget lying around in it. Whenever (в любое время) I am at home, providing (если только/при условии) that I am not sleeping, I am almost always using at least (как минимум) one electronic device. If you walked into my living room on any given day (любой день), you would find that, first I have the television on (along with the other related appliances (вместе с другими сопутствующими приборами), such as DVD player or my current favourite games console). At the same time, even though (хотя) multi-tasking is definitely not my strong point, I usually have my laptop resting on my knee, or I will be using my tablet or mobile phone. In the background, the technology that I am not using will most likely (вероятно, скорее всего) be on charge somewhere in the house. Even when I'm not at home I am constantly using my phone. At work or in cafes, I sit down and connect to the local wireless network on my laptop. I must admit (я должен признать) that I waste a lot of time on the computer. Instead I could spend it doing some online volunteering.

+The thechnology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to help others and recently I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world. From using your language skills to do translations, to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work, there is so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countries and across the world. The United Nations, in fact, has a huge page on its webside designed for recruiting volunteers.
