Rough Draft Workshop
1.
My
topic is the extreme rise in technology and how it has affected society today.
2.
Technology
was my larger subject area.
3.
In
the beginning I had a hard time at first narrowing my topic down. It was such a broad topic, but now I have
been able to narrow it down to the obsession with social networking and how
people cannot seem to stay off their phones.
4.
I
searched peer reviewed articles along with collecting information from a couple
books. I was able to get a hold of some
useful information for my sources to help back up my argument.
5.
There
are a lot of mixed answers when it comes to how people feel about technology
and the rapid rise that has begun. There
are also people that are in the middle and feel there are both pros and cons
that attribute to technology.
Main
areas leading towards this argument is the statistics of students’ grades and
the loss of communication between one another.
Students in school today are beginning to see a decrease in their grades
because of the addiction with feeling they need to be on social media sites at
all times, as well as texting, and etc. Everywhere
you go there seems to be no such thing as face to face communication
anymore. For example, take a look around
when you go out to dinner. Count how
many people are actually conversing with one another rather than be wrapped up
in their cell phones.
There
isn’t one specific group involved in the talk of technology today. You have today’s generation as well as family
members and friends of theirs that join in on the conversation and give their input.
6.
I
have yet to start my draft yet so I’m not sure how many words there are
yet. I just completed my review of
literature and hope to now have the chance to get started on my draft for
Tuesday’s workshop.
