2.Review the difference between fact and opinion. Write three fact statements and three opinion statements about your selected device(smart phone). put references

Answer 1

• A fact is a statement that is true and can be verified objectively, or proven. In other words, a fact is true and correct no matter what. An opinion, however, is a statement that holds an element of belief; it tells how someone feels. An opinion is not always true and cannot be proven.
• Fact is supported by evidence and Opinion has no backing of any evidence.A person who makes a factual statement knows that his opinion comes from Fact. Where as a person who just makes some Opinion does not have any facts to substantiate. While Facts are true statements Opinions are not. Opinion is only a subjective statement and Fact is objective reality. Opinion can only be an emotional outburst of an individual or merely an interpretation.
• Facts are strong statements and opinions can be biased statements. Facts always stay back in history whereas opinions are only views that may not get into history.
• Facts-IBM sold a smartphone with a touchscreen display input that could send emails and run third-party apps in 1994.
• It costs less than $1 a year to keep your smartphone charged up.
• Smartphones are capable of receiving FM radio signals, but phone/wireless companies deny that consumer demand is strong enough to justify activating it.
• Opinions-Nowadays more and more students bring their mobile phones to school. While I believe that students should carry mobile phones in case of an emergency, I am strongly opposed to phones being used at school, particularly in the classroom.
  
• Smartphones are dangerous.
• Smartphones have many great advantages.
• How do you feel about smartphones taking over our lives?
