Welcome to Puntos de Vista: Points of View, with Rob and Lis from Spanish Obsessed. In each episode of this series we'll take one article about current affairs, or some kind of hot topic, and we'll give our punto de vista, our point of view.

La verdad. ¿Por qué? Gracias al consejo de Rob tengo un súper teléfono, un teléfono inteligente como lo último en teléfonos, tecnología y ahora siento que lo quiero llevar para todo lado y lo tengo que revisar.

I used to have my iPhone and it didn't have a lot, a lot of capacity. So I was very limited in apps. But now that phone I have everything. So Linkedin, this, that, and the other
Yo me siento igual porque tengo el mismo celular nuevo que es super moderno. El mejor con pantalla gigante y es muy bueno. Es demasiado bueno porque paso todo mi tiempo con el celular, ahora, con el móvil
