Technology isn’t the cause of our addictions, it’s ourselves. It’s the 21st century addiction, not cigarettes. I agree with the argument in my original article and chose to expand on it in my infographic. They say that the more you sit in front of a screen, the more your brain feels the need to have it. You also become socially isolated, leaving technology to be the only form of interaction you get, with people through a screen. I further expand on my argument in my infographic through facts like what percent of teens would admit to having an addiction and the mental affects it has on people. To further the information given in the original article in my infographic, I provided ways you can rid your addictions .

I think that my writing has improved marginally. I didn't believe that I was really "great" at writing, but I didn't think I was bad. But over the course so far, I think I have made several changes that make it better. For example, I've been trying to become less vague in my writing, which is something I've struggled with for awhile.

It’s important to evaluate a source as the internet has unfortunately made the spread of misinformation easy, making it important to find out whether what you’re reading is true or not. The most important part of chapter 46 was the statement on how it’s important to exercise caution even when using new sources as it informs the reader that even a “trusted” news source may have some agenda they’re pushing, which in turn sways their reporting. While I’ve always taken what I’ve read online initially with a grain of salt, I’ll certainly keep the biases of mainstream news in mind going forward.

My article argued that the “robot uprisings” seen in sci-fi cannot happen in real life. It was argued that this is impossible as machines cannot learn from their errors and cannot seek improvements. While the arguments were very solid, they focused a bit too heavily on the present, leaving out any possible breakthrough making these possible. As such, does the fact that it’s currently impossible mean it forever will be? After all, the technology we are using today (video calls, streaming, portable computers) were all once thought to be unrealistic.

I found this while looking through images of ads for all different kinds of phones. The audience is a consumer looking to upgrade their phone. The purpose of the image is to give the consumer a reason to buy this phone over another. The post uses pathos to appeal by making the consumer believe that this new technology will make their life easier. This image does fit the principals of CRAP. It shows how companies try and appeal towards their consumers.

The argument in my article was a little vague but it was along the lines of developers wanting less of just voice assistant bots and more of emotionally literate bots. So mine isn't too different.

My argument agrees with my article in the sense that we both agree that an AI uprising isn’t possible in the present day, but my argument for my infographic refutes the idea that it never will be possible.

The future of Electric Vehicles is dependent on a standard charger. It divides the consumer, EV sales will skyrocket if a standard is made, and Consumers won't have to worry about finding a charger for their car. My argument starts to move towards and environmental aspect during the conclusion, I also added some info about manufacturers trying to make a standard. I expanded on the positive sales aspect of creating a standard.
