This is Lesson 4. In this episode, we will cover 4 words all related to technology: Device, Mobile, Innovation, and Revolutionize.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to check out our show notes for a link to your free IELTS vocabulary list containing these words and others, and visit IELTS.Magoosh.com for more great resources to improve your IELTS band score.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d like to introduce you to your teacher, Eliot. He is the Magoosh IELTS expert and, here\u2019s a fun fact about Eliot: The first piece of technology Eliot ever owned was a cassette tape player.<\/p>\n<h3>Eliot Intro<\/h3>\n<p>Hello Magoosh IELTS podcast listeners, welcome to today\u2019s show. I\u2019m Eliot, the IELTS expert from Magoosh. Today, we\u2019re going to look at four words that will be useful for the Speaking section of the IELTS. The topic of technology is a popular source of questions on the IELTS Speaking test, so we\u2019re going to go over a few good vocabulary words that you can use to talk about the field of technology as a whole, as well as some specific pieces of technology.<\/p>\n<p>As always, make sure to go to the link in the show notes to get the full list of vocabulary words.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, the theme for the words in today\u2019s episode is technology, and ways to describe different types of technology and technological advances.<\/p>\n<h3>Device<\/h3>\n<p>So let\u2019s get started. The first word on our list is device. So let\u2019s start with that one, okay?<\/p>\n<p>What does the word \u201cdevice\u201d mean?<\/p>\n<p>Well, a device is any technological machine. I know this sounds pretty general, so let\u2019s get a more specific look.<\/p>\n<p>When we use the word \u201cdevice\u201d, we are typically speaking about an electronic item that allows people to get on the Internet, make phone calls, or possibly send messages. So usually when we say \u201cdevice\u201d we are talking about someone\u2019s phone, or computer, or tablet. However, there are more kinds of devices than just the ones you use to connect to the Internet or call your mom.<\/p>\n<p>Technically, any mechanical or electronic tool is a device. For example, while your laptop is a device, something as simple as a measuring stick is also a device. A device is any piece of technological equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry too much about being able to identify every single device. Just remember that most of the time when someone uses the word device, they\u2019re talking about a phone or a computer. For example, you may have seen advertisements for services that allow you to watch television shows on \u201call of your devices.\u201d Obviously these ads are using the word \u201cdevice\u201d to refer to things like phones, computers, and televisions \u2013 not measuring sticks!<\/p>\n<p>So, that\u2019s device.<\/p>\n<h3>Mobile<\/h3>\n<p>The next word is mobile.<\/p>\n<p>What does mobile mean?<\/p>\n<p>Well, the word mobile describes technology related to phones, or other wireless devices that connect to the Internet or send calls and text messages to people<\/p>\n<p>So you can see there is some overlap between \u201cmobile\u201d and \u201cdevice.\u201d To keep things from getting confusing, let\u2019s be really clear about the differences between these two words.<\/p>\n<p>The word \u201cdevice\u201d is a noun, meaning that a device is a thing — like a cellphone or computer. The word \u201cmobile\u201d is an adjective, meaning it describes something.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, we use the word mobile to describe anything that is a wireless device. So a television is a device. A television that can wirelessly connect to the internet is a mobile device. However, you\u2019ll mostly hear this word, mobile, used to describe cell phones, which we also call mobile phone, or simply \u201cmobiles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s mobile.<\/p>\n<h3>Innovation<\/h3>\n<p>The next word is innovation.<\/p>\n<p>What does innovation mean?<\/p>\n<p>Well, an innovation is a new and valuable idea or an invention. The word innovation is also commonly used to refer to technological changes in general. A good way to remember the meaning of the word \u201cinnovation\u201d is to think of an innovation as being something that is new and improved.<\/p>\n<p>So, for example, when laptop computers were invented, they were considered to be a huge innovation — since before laptops came out everyone had been using clunky desktop computers. Laptops were like desktops, but new and improved.<\/p>\n<p>While we can describe things outside of the field of tech using the word innovation, innovation is mostly associated with advances in technology, and that\u2019s probably the context you will hear it used most on the IELTS.<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s innovation.<\/p>\n<h3>Revolutionize<\/h3>\n<p>The final word today is revolutionize.<\/p>\n<p>Revolutionize, what does that mean?<\/p>\n<p>Well, when referring to technology, to revolutionize means to make a big, important change in the way we use technology. To revolutionize something is to alter it dramatically, so that it is much better.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to get confused between innovation and revolutionize, because they both involve improving technology. However, innovation is a noun (a thing) and to revolutionize is a verb (or an action). That\u2019s one difference. Innovation does have a verb form though, which is to innovate. So we\u2019re going to have to get more specific about the difference between these two words.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a good way to think about the difference between innovation and revolutionize: To revolutionize something is to make a widespread lasting change in a field, while an innovation is any type of new improvement, regardless of whether it makes a widespread lasting change or not. These words mean two different things, though we will often see them together.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the iPhone was an innovation, which revolutionized the smartphone industry. The iPhone itself was a new and valuable invention (otherwise known as an innovation!), which changed the way people thought of phones, revolutionizing the entire phone industry.<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s revolutionize.<\/p>\n<h3>Outro<\/h3>\n<p>Great!

This is Lesson 4. In this episode, we will cover 4 words all related to technology: Device, Mobile, Innovation, and Revolutionize.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to check out our show notes for a link to your free IELTS vocabulary list containing these words and others, and visit IELTS.Magoosh.com for more great resources to improve your IELTS band score.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d like to introduce you to your teacher, Eliot. He is the Magoosh IELTS expert and, here\u2019s a fun fact about Eliot: The first piece of technology Eliot ever owned was a cassette tape player.<\/p>\n<h3>Eliot Intro<\/h3>\n<p>Hello Magoosh IELTS podcast listeners, welcome to today\u2019s show. I\u2019m Eliot, the IELTS expert from Magoosh. Today, we\u2019re going to look at four words that will be useful for the Speaking section of the IELTS. The topic of technology is a popular source of questions on the IELTS Speaking test, so we\u2019re going to go over a few good vocabulary words that you can use to talk about the field of technology as a whole, as well as some specific pieces of technology.<\/p>\n<p>As always, make sure to go to the link in the show notes to get the full list of vocabulary words.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, the theme for the words in today\u2019s episode is technology, and ways to describe different types of technology and technological advances.<\/p>\n<h3>Device<\/h3>\n<p>So let\u2019s get started. The first word on our list is device. So let\u2019s start with that one, okay?<\/p>\n<p>What does the word \u201cdevice\u201d mean?<\/p>\n<p>Well, a device is any technological machine. I know this sounds pretty general, so let\u2019s get a more specific look.<\/p>\n<p>When we use the word \u201cdevice\u201d, we are typically speaking about an electronic item that allows people to get on the Internet, make phone calls, or possibly send messages. So usually when we say \u201cdevice\u201d we are talking about someone\u2019s phone, or computer, or tablet. However, there are more kinds of devices than just the ones you use to connect to the Internet or call your mom.<\/p>\n<p>Technically, any mechanical or electronic tool is a device. For example, while your laptop is a device, something as simple as a measuring stick is also a device. A device is any piece of technological equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry too much about being able to identify every single device. Just remember that most of the time when someone uses the word device, they\u2019re talking about a phone or a computer. For example, you may have seen advertisements for services that allow you to watch television shows on \u201call of your devices.\u201d Obviously these ads are using the word \u201cdevice\u201d to refer to things like phones, computers, and televisions \u2013 not measuring sticks!<\/p>\n<p>So, that\u2019s device.<\/p>\n<h3>Mobile<\/h3>\n<p>The next word is mobile.<\/p>\n<p>What does mobile mean?<\/p>\n<p>Well, the word mobile describes technology related to phones, or other wireless devices that connect to the Internet or send calls and text messages to people<\/p>\n<p>So you can see there is some overlap between \u201cmobile\u201d and \u201cdevice.\u201d To keep things from getting confusing, let\u2019s be really clear about the differences between these two words.<\/p>\n<p>The word \u201cdevice\u201d is a noun, meaning that a device is a thing — like a cellphone or computer. The word \u201cmobile\u201d is an adjective, meaning it describes something.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, we use the word mobile to describe anything that is a wireless device. So a television is a device. A television that can wirelessly connect to the internet is a mobile device. However, you\u2019ll mostly hear this word, mobile, used to describe cell phones, which we also call mobile phone, or simply \u201cmobiles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s mobile.<\/p>\n<h3>Innovation<\/h3>\n<p>The next word is innovation.<\/p>\n<p>What does innovation mean?<\/p>\n<p>Well, an innovation is a new and valuable idea or an invention. The word innovation is also commonly used to refer to technological changes in general. A good way to remember the meaning of the word \u201cinnovation\u201d is to think of an innovation as being something that is new and improved.<\/p>\n<p>So, for example, when laptop computers were invented, they were considered to be a huge innovation — since before laptops came out everyone had been using clunky desktop computers. Laptops were like desktops, but new and improved.<\/p>\n<p>While we can describe things outside of the field of tech using the word innovation, innovation is mostly associated with advances in technology, and that\u2019s probably the context you will hear it used most on the IELTS.<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s innovation.<\/p>\n<h3>Revolutionize<\/h3>\n<p>The final word today is revolutionize.<\/p>\n<p>Revolutionize, what does that mean?<\/p>\n<p>Well, when referring to technology, to revolutionize means to make a big, important change in the way we use technology. To revolutionize something is to alter it dramatically, so that it is much better.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to get confused between innovation and revolutionize, because they both involve improving technology. However, innovation is a noun (a thing) and to revolutionize is a verb (or an action). That\u2019s one difference. Innovation does have a verb form though, which is to innovate. So we\u2019re going to have to get more specific about the difference between these two words.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a good way to think about the difference between innovation and revolutionize: To revolutionize something is to make a widespread lasting change in a field, while an innovation is any type of new improvement, regardless of whether it makes a widespread lasting change or not. These words mean two different things, though we will often see them together.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the iPhone was an innovation, which revolutionized the smartphone industry. The iPhone itself was a new and valuable invention (otherwise known as an innovation!), which changed the way people thought of phones, revolutionizing the entire phone industry.<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s revolutionize.<\/p>\n<h3>Outro<\/h3>\n<p>Great!
