Question: Why has Digital Technology become a permanent fixture in our lives that continues to grow everyday?
Thesis: Despite it's numerous negative aspects, Digital Devices are still being used by the majority of Americans because it provides entertainment, keeps us in better touch with family and friends and makes the user's lives easier.
Argument 1: Every digital machine provides entertainment, which ranges from video games, social networks, amoung a laundry list of avalibilities. These sources of entertainment alone have become apart of daily life for the majority of people. So without the internet, high tech cell phones and video games consoles, i don't think those many people want to think about what they would do WITHOUT any of these things.
Argument 2: Family and Friends have come closer together with the use of digital technology, The internet and phone work overtime to provide the makeup of closeness for the user to his/her family and friends when the actual distance between them is quite far. I would persoanlly suggest this is one of the more positive reasons why digital technology is such a phenomenom in society. Just like in the entertainment aspect, I'm sure the last thing people want is to have the internet and phone all of a sudden vanish, allowing for families and friendships to somewhat fade.
Argument 3: WIth digital technology, life is easier. What would we do in our spare time without entertainment provided by digital technology on our hands? How would we be able to either talk for 5 minutes to a loved family member or schduele a day plan with friends? These questions are very hard to answer, as digital technology has become a part of life, or better yet, life itself.

Brandon your paper is seeming to be shaping up to be very strong based on your outline.I thought it was very intresting for you to take the apporch of tech. being a positive thing on society , espically sense the majority of the resources and stuff we hear around us is always linked to negative aspects.I also think I like how all of your arguments hit close to home, and I can tell already that while you'll have a lot of outside sources in your paper , you'll bring your own personal knowledge. I hope to read your entire paper but overall its looking sharp.
ReplyDeleteBrandon,
ReplyDeleteLike how you a have really good arguments and they do back up your thesis. The things you are talking about seem really interesting like how life is easier with digital or social part of technology. These are good topics because the reader will be interested. But the thesis should be short and simple but I think it'll be easy because you have a good start. hope to read your pape.r
Brandon,
ReplyDeleteStrong design for a paper.
Only suggestion is to begin identifying points of evidence you could use.
