Impact of the Internet and smartphones – Two Arguments
The Situation:
Imagine you are in a relationship with someone who, after getting home from college each evening, spends 5 hours on the Internet via his or her smartphone. You believe the smartphone is a total waste of time and has a negative impact on the world. Your partner thinks the smartphone is super useful and has made the world better. 1. Write a list of all the arguments defending your opinion that the Internet and smartphones waste time and have a negative impact on the world.
2. Write a list of all the arguments your partner could use to defend the opinion that the Internet and smartphones are super useful and have made the world better.
3. Use your textbook to support and expand your arguments. Put the page number from the textbook chapter 4 next to each argument you found in the textbook.
4. Thinking of the videos you watched on the class website this week, add any arguments based on the videos and mention in which video you saw each one.
