HW 16 - Big Paper 1 Outline - Nov. 2

EQ: how has Digital / Electronic effected our society and how we live

Thesis: technology has become very important in our society, it has made a lot of our lives easier in many different ways but it also makes most of as very attached to it as well.

Argument 1: How technology has made our lives easier

Technology can be helpful in a lot of ways between trying to figure out where you are and where you want to go to looking up something for your homework technology in some ways makes things much easier for people. If we were trying to look for a old classmate or maybe a family member that you have no talked to for a while technology can help with this. You can use your computer and try to look for who ever you want plus these social networks like Facebook or Myspace makes looking for someone a whole lot easier.

Argument 2: The bads about technology

Even though there are a lot of good things about technology there are also things that are bad. What technology always tries to focus is to make things easier for you. Technology has gotten to a point where you pretty much don’t even need to leave your house anymore to get anything you can buy things you need online and it just gets shipped to your house so you don’t even have to really put in effort in to looking for what you needed you can just find it online. Which just adds up to making people lazier and not wanting to go out and do these basic things because you can just find it online. Sometimes I think that our society might turn out to be like the people in WALL- E where everyone is lazy in a chair everything is pretty much done for you and you have a digital screen to do what you want.

Conclusion:

Overall I think technology is a good thing but in moderation. Like its ok if you want to use the computer or play video games and stuff like that but you should do it in moderation and know when its time to go take a break and go outside to do something else. I think that if society were to use technology in moderation than we might not turn in to the people in WALL E.
