1. 0:00Are you ready to learn some real life
2. 0:02English with comprehensible input? Well,
3. 0:05good because today we are going to
4. 0:07continue improving our English by
5. 0:09talking about the technology.
6. 0:12Technology that I use every day. Let's
7. 0:17go.
8. 0:20Hey guys, it is your English speaking
9. 0:23friend Kyle and today, as always, we are
10. 0:26going to keep on improving our English
11. 0:28with comprehensible input. What is
12. 0:31comprehensible input? Comprehensible
13. 0:33input is when a native speaker like me
14. 0:37speaks slowly and clearly so that you
15. 0:40can understand. So guys, today I'm going
16. 0:42to talk about something that we all
17. 0:45pretty much use every single day of our
18. 0:48lives. What is that? Technology.
19. 0:51Technology. Okay. Now, when you hear the
20. 0:55word technology, you think about phones,
21. 0:59you think about electronic things, TVs.
22. 1:02But what does the word actually mean?
23. 1:05What does technology actually mean?
24. 1:08Well, let's look up the definition of
25. 1:11the word technology. So guys, technology
26. 1:14is the use of knowledge, tools, and
27. 1:18techniques to make life easier, to solve
28. 1:21problems, or to create new things. So
29. 1:25guys, it's not necessarily something
30. 1:27with electricity or a battery or high
31. 1:31tech. It can be a tool like a hammer or
32. 1:34a screwdriver or a wheel. Those are
33. 1:37technology too, just kind of older
34. 1:40technology. But today we are going to be
35. 1:42talking more about things like
36. 1:44electronics. And electronic is anything
37. 1:47that uses electricity. Phones are
38. 1:50electronics. Cameras are electronics.
39. 1:53Televisions or TVs are electronics.
40. 1:57Today I'll be telling you guys about the
41. 1:58technology and electronics that I use
42. 2:01pretty much every day. So, let's start
43. 2:04with one that I'm pretty sure if you're
44. 2:07watching this video, you use this thing
45. 2:10every day. A phone. A cell phone. So,
46. 2:14guys, this is my cell phone. And on my
47. 2:16phone, I have a picture of my beautiful
48. 2:18camera wife, my handsome son, and
49. 2:20myself. If you guys are on the
50. 2:22Instagram, you saw when I posted that
51. 2:24picture probably. So, guys, just like
52. 2:27you, I use my phone every day. And when
53. 2:30you think about it, guys, this thing is
54. 2:32like magic. Okay, I have an iPhone made
55. 2:35by the company Apple, which was founded
56. 2:38by Steve Jobs and another man named
57. 2:41Waznjak. And I really don't care that
58. 2:44it's an Apple. There are a lot of people
59. 2:46that love Apple. For me, it's a phone.
60. 2:49It has internet, which I use all the
61. 2:51time. I can call people and I can text
62. 2:54people. So guys, what I use my phone for
63. 2:57every day is to call, "Hey wife, come
64. 3:00home. We have to work. I need you to
65. 3:02record me." I can send text messages.
66. 3:05"Hey wife, I'm hungry. Come make my
67. 3:08dinner." Just kidding, guys. I use
68. 3:10YouTube all the time on my phone, guys.
69. 3:13I am constantly watching YouTube videos
70. 3:16in my free time so that I'm always
71. 3:18learning. I do that on my phone. I
72. 3:21really never do it on my computer. I
73. 3:22always watch YouTube on my phone because
74. 3:25I always have my phone with me. And
75. 3:27another thing that I use my phone for
76. 3:29that helps me so much with my YouTube
77. 3:33videos with my channel is chat GPT.
78. 3:36Okay, this is chat GPT. My chat GPT is
79. 3:40AI or artificial intelligence and that
80. 3:44is a technology that more and more
81. 3:46people are using every day. So guys,
82. 3:50someone asked me before how I use AI,
83. 3:53which is short for artificial
84. 3:55intelligence to help improve my workflow
85. 3:58and help me with my channel when I make
86. 4:00my videos and things. Guys, Chat GPT
87. 4:03helps me so much. I could search up any
88. 4:06topic. When I make videos cooking, I'll
89. 4:09tell it to give me an idea for a recipe
90. 4:11and I'll use that recipe also other
91. 4:14things that I saw on YouTube to make how
92. 4:16I'm going to cook it. Uh, I ask it to
93. 4:19tell me interesting facts about the
94. 4:21country. And guys, pretty much anytime I
95. 4:23have a problem that I need to solve,
96. 4:26I'll use chat GPT and I can fix it like
97. 4:29that. Okay. What I do not use AI for,
98. 4:33writing scripts for my videos. Okay.
99. 4:36When you see me talking, I'm not reading
100. 4:39things that are written down. I'm not
101. 4:41asking Chat GPT, hey, give me a script
102. 4:44that I can read and make this video. No.
103. 4:47Everything you guys see here on this
104. 4:49channel comes out of my brain. Comes out
105. 4:52of my brain. So guys, that's what I do
106. 4:54with my phone. And just like you, it's
107. 4:57always with me. Okay guys, and the last
108. 5:00piece of vocabulary I want to share with
109. 5:02you guys about a phone, which I don't
110. 5:05think I've shown you guys on this
111. 5:07channel before. This, you have to know
112. 5:10what this is, right? Tell me in the
113. 5:13comments. Do you know how to say this
114. 5:14thing in English? It is a phone charger.
115. 5:19Okay. You plug this part, you plug this
116. 5:22part into your phone. You plug this part
117. 5:26into an outlet and it charges your
118. 5:29phone. It gives your phone energy or
119. 5:31power. So, this phone charger is how you
120. 5:34charge the battery in your phone. So,
121. 5:36guys, as you can see, as you know, I'm a
122. 5:40YouTuber. So almost every day, no really
123. 5:45every day, I'm working on this channel,
124. 5:48this channel, in one way or another.
125. 5:51What are some of the things that I use
126. 5:53every day as a YouTuber? Well, this
127. 5:56microphone. I use this microphone pretty
128. 5:58much every day or every day that I'm
129. 6:00recording. And guys, this is not a
130. 6:02sponsored video, but I do want to show
131. 6:05you this is the kind of microphone that
132. 6:06I use. It's a brand called Road. I have
133. 6:09the wireless pros. And the only reason
134. 6:12that I want to give these guys a shout
135. 6:14out is because they really did something
136. 6:16cool for me recently. Uh the first road
137. 6:20microphone that I bought, the button,
138. 6:23the thing that you push to turn it on,
139. 6:25the power button, stopped working. Okay.
140. 6:28So, I wrote them. I told them that I had
141. 6:31a problem with it and they sent me new
142. 6:34ones super quick so that I could keep on
143. 6:36making these videos. So, for that
144. 6:38reason, I wanted to specifically mention
145. 6:40that I use road because they really help
146. 6:43me out. So, any creators who are trying
147. 6:46to find some good quality audio, these
148. 6:50are really good, guys. And the customer
149. 6:52service is awesome. So, that's how I get
150. 6:54my audio. Now, to film, I use my camera,
151. 6:58obviously. Let me show you guys the
152. 7:00camera that I use all the time. I use
153. 7:03the Sony ZV1.
154. 7:06And this camera is awesome, guys. I
155. 7:08absolutely love this camera. This camera
156. 7:11has been with me in three different
157. 7:14countries, four different countries, so
158. 7:17many different parts of the United
159. 7:18States, Puerto Rico. This camera has
160. 7:22been all over the place with me, and
161. 7:24I've been using it for 4 years. I
162. 7:26absolutely love this camera, and I am so
163. 7:29grateful that I have been able to use it
164. 7:32so much and make so much amazing content
165. 7:34with it. So, my Sony ZV1, love it. Um,
166. 7:39soon I'm going to try and upgrade to an
167. 7:42even better Sony camera, which is pretty
168. 7:44much like the Sony ZV1's big brother.
169. 7:48That's the new one I want. And it will
170. 7:50kind of be a sad, emotional day for me.
171. 7:53I'll be excited to get this one, but
172. 7:55I'll be a little bit sad to retire the
173. 7:58Sony ZV1 that I've been using for so
174. 8:00long. Now, do I use other kinds of
175. 8:03cameras? Sometimes I'll use my GoPro.
176. 8:06This is my GoPro. And this is an action
177. 8:09camera. This one's pretty cool. This
178. 8:12camera can go underwater. I could go in
179. 8:15the ocean with it. And sometimes I use
180. 8:18this one when I'm going to be outside
181. 8:20doing things where I don't want to
182. 8:22damage my good camera. So I very rarely
183. 8:26use this one, but it is a good camera.
184. 8:28Now there's another piece of technology
185. 8:30that we are trying to use in our videos.
186. 8:33Camera wife hasn't really figured out
187. 8:36how to do it just yet because she's
188. 8:38being kind of lazy. Camera wife is being
189. 8:41lazy and she hasn't figured out how to
190. 8:43use this gimbal yet. So guys, this is
191. 8:46called a gimbal and we bought this. This
192. 8:49looks awesome and I think it's going to
193. 8:51make our videos higher quality as soon
194. 8:54as my camera wife learns how to use it.
195. 8:59>> She says she already did. We'll see
196. 9:01because I'm gonna make her film me
197. 9:03tomorrow. So, if it looks really good,
198. 9:05guys, it means she learned how to use
199. 9:07this. What this does, guys, you put your
200. 9:09camera up here and it stabilizes your
201. 9:12camera so that there's no shaking from
202. 9:15hands and it looks like a movie, like
203. 9:18the camera's just floating there. So
204. 9:20guys, I use my Sony ZV1.
205. 9:23Sometimes I use my GoPro.
206. 9:26Always use my road wireless pro
207. 9:28microphones. And hopefully in the future
208. 9:32when my wife does her job, we'll be
209. 9:34using the gimbal. She's getting ready
210. 9:36for church in the other room, guys. So,
211. 9:38I'm just messing with her. Anyway, those
212. 9:42are my cameras and my audio equipment
213. 9:45that I use almost every day. Let's see
214. 9:48what other kind of technology I can show
215. 9:50you guys. Okay, guys. So, the next piece
216. 9:53of technology that I'm going to show you
217. 9:56is my laptop computer. my laptop
218. 9:59computer, which is also an Apple
219. 10:03product. And like I said, guys, I really
220. 10:06don't think like, oh, Apple's the best.
221. 10:09I have to have an Apple. The only reason
222. 10:12I like using this MacBook, which is what
223. 10:14this computer is called, a MacBook, is
224. 10:17because it's super easy to use with my
225. 10:19phone because they're both Apple
226. 10:22products, so I can link everything
227. 10:23together. And it's also super easy to
228. 10:26use with my camera. I use my laptop
229. 10:29pretty much every day. And what I mainly
230. 10:33do with this is just edit my videos. I
231. 10:36don't play games. I don't use it for
232. 10:38social media. I don't use it to watch
233. 10:40things. Really, all I'm doing with this
234. 10:43is editing my videos, uploading them to
235. 10:46YouTube, and doing things like that for
236. 10:48the channel. So, that's what I do with
237. 10:51my laptop. All right, guys. One piece of
238. 10:53filming photography equipment that I use
239. 10:56that I have not mentioned. This light, I
240. 10:58usually keep this light here in my
241. 11:00kitchen and we use this to film my
242. 11:04videos. So, when you see me sitting down
243. 11:06right there, I'm usually using this
244. 11:08light to film. They're doing something
245. 11:10with our electricity right now, guys.
246. 11:12That's why the lights just turned off.
247. 11:15So, anyway, when I have electricity, I
248. 11:19use this light to film. It makes my face
249. 11:22much easier to see and makes the shot
250. 11:23look a lot better. What's some other
251. 11:25technology that we have that we have
252. 11:27here in the kitchen? So guys, this is
253. 11:29called an Instant Pot and what it really
254. 11:32is is a pressure cooker. It uses steam
255. 11:35to build up pressure in here and that
256. 11:38cooks food much faster than you normally
257. 11:41could on your stove over there. So guys,
258. 11:45I do have a pressure cooker. I've never
259. 11:47used it in a video because I like doing
260. 11:50things the oldfashioned way, but when I
261. 11:52made fijuada, all of our Brazilian
262. 11:55friends said, "Why are you spending so
263. 11:57much time cooking those beans? Just
264. 11:59throw it in a pressure cooker." So, I
265. 12:01guess I could have just cooked that in
266. 12:03here and saved myself a few hours. Over
267. 12:05here, we have our air fryer. And guys,
268. 12:09we use this all the time. The air fryer
269. 12:11is super convenient. It can cook little
270. 12:14snacks for Connor. It can cook meat for
271. 12:17me. And the best thing about the air
272. 12:20fryer, guys, is that something that
273. 12:22would take 20 to 30 minutes in the oven,
274. 12:26the air fryer can cook it in like 3
275. 12:29minutes. So, this one is super easy and
276. 12:32super convenient. Over here, this this
277. 12:34little thing right here is a really good
278. 12:37piece of technology really. That is a
279. 12:40gas detector. So, the stove the stove
280. 12:43uses gas and it's rare, but if there's a
281. 12:47leak in the stove, that gas can build up
282. 12:50in the home and one day, boom, blow up.
283. 12:54So, I got that gas detector and that'll
284. 12:58never happen to us because if there's a
285. 13:00gas leak in the stove, that detector
286. 13:03will be able to sense it and it will
287. 13:05start making loud noises. Okay guys,
288. 13:08over here we have something that we use
289. 13:10in the house pretty much every day. This
290. 13:13is called a thermostat. So thermostat is
291. 13:17attached to both our air conditioner and
292. 13:20our furnace, which is what heats our
293. 13:23house, which makes it hotter. So I could
294. 13:26turn the temperature up to make the
295. 13:28house warmer, or I could turn it down to
296. 13:31make the house cooler. or when the house
297. 13:34feels good the way it is, you just turn
298. 13:36it off and you save some money on your
299. 13:39electricity bill. So guys, one thing
300. 13:41that's interesting to think about about
301. 13:43technology, it's always improving and
302. 13:46the old versions of the technology are
303. 13:49becoming what we call obsolete. Obsolete
304. 13:53means that it really isn't even worth
305. 13:56using anymore because there's newer
306. 13:58versions that are way better. What are
307. 14:00some examples of this? Well, guys, when
308. 14:02I want to know what time it is, I look
309. 14:05at my phone. My phone has a clock. It
310. 14:07tells me what time it is. But before
311. 14:10everybody had a cell phone in their
312. 14:12pocket, if you wanted to know what time
313. 14:14it was, what did you have to do? Well,
314. 14:16guys, this is the international symbol
315. 14:19for time. Why? Watches. So, guys, this
316. 14:23used to be so important for knowing what
317. 14:26time it was, how to get to work on time,
318. 14:28and not be late. But now, guys, it's
319. 14:32really just for fashion. Uh, I love this
320. 14:35watch, by the way. This is a watch that
321. 14:38I bought when I reached 100,000
322. 14:40subscribers to celebrate. So, I will
323. 14:43always remember that moment when I look
324. 14:45at this watch, when I'm trying to tell
325. 14:47the time or when I just put it on
326. 14:49because I want to look cool. Okay guys,
327. 14:51that is all for today. Just a short
328. 14:53video. I figured we all use technology
329. 14:56in some way. So, it would be useful for
330. 14:59you guys to see and hear about the
331. 15:02things that I use in my everyday life so
332. 15:04that you can talk about the things that
333. 15:07you use every day in your life. Today's
334. 15:09homework assignment, guys, in the
335. 15:11comments, write for me what technology
336. 15:14do you use every day that I forgot to
337. 15:17mention. I can't wait to read your
338. 15:19comments. See you guys in the next
