How is a smartphone different from a cell phone，and what makes it so smart? To understand this，we should start with a history lesson． 1. Cell phones were used for making calls while PDAs could store information and a to-do list，and could be linked to your computer．Then PDAs added cell phones’features，while cell phones added PDA-like(and even computer-like)features．The result was that the smartphone came into being．
Here are some features of smartphones．
Operating system． 2. In general，a smartphone will be based on an operating system that allows it to run applications．For example，Apple’s iPhone runs the iOS，and BlackBerry smartphones run the BlackBerry OS．
Mobile Internet． 3. For this we should say thanks to the growth of 4G data networks，as well as the addition of Wi-Fi．
4. A smartphone may allow you to download apps，edit photos，and get driving directions with GPS．The applications may also allow you to create and edit Microsoft Office documents—or at least view the files．
QWERTY Keyboard．A smartphone includes a QWERTY keyboard．This means that the keys are laid out in the same manner they would be on your computer keyboard，where you don’t have to tap the number 1 to enter an A，B or C．
These are just some of the features that make a smartphone smart．5. What makes a smartphone today may change by next week，next month or next year．Well，a smartphone of the future may be in your brain．
A．Apps．
B．Documents．
C．In the beginning，there were cell phones and PDAs．
D．A smartphone is a mobile phone with an operating system．
E．The technology about a smartphone is always changing，though．
F．You can use your smartphone to link to the Internet at a higher speed．
G．Years ago，many people thought it must be a smartphone if it had a touch screen．
In 2007，the editors of the Oxford Junior English Dictionary，convinced that their reference work“needed to reflect the consensus experience of modern-day childhood．”banned a group of old terms used less today describing the natural world．They inserted newer and supposedly more useful words describing the digital fields that young people in habit today．
Thus they say goodbye to“acorn”，but say hello to“attachment”．“Beech”and“bluebell”come out of the dictionary．while“blog”and“broadband”come into it．And they say farewell to“catkin”and“cowslip”because here come“celebrity”and“chat room”．
It’s possible，of course，that those Oxford editors had a good reason for their vocabular cleansing．Perhaps they had read the Cambridge University study revealing that most young children can identify Pokémon(神奇宝贝)species far more easily than they can name real-life sparrows．
But is this simply another fight in the language war，an ongoing battle between people? Some people argue that a dictionary should model how language works best，while some people insist that it should capture how language works now．
In Britain，some citizens felt justified in fighting back against the decision of the Oxford editors．The protest of the thinning of the word herd almost immediately attracted more than200，000 signatures．
Susie Dent，author of Modern Tribes：The Secret Languages of Britain，is doing everything in her power to guarantee“the old markers of time”．“Fortnight”(fourteen nights，or two weeks)is among her cherished favorites．
Thanks to them，I can now show off my knowledge that a“snollygoster”is a“shrewd person，especially a politician”．
