Mother Jones Magazine By Nico Asses Carr

The reason Nicholas Carr wrote this article is to inform people of the danger of Internet overuse through his use of ethos, logos, and pathos, along with other rhetorical devices. He starts with a scene from a classic movie that dealt with the prevalence of technology, 2001: A Space Odyssey. He shows that with the technological advances of today, the line between human and computer has starts to grey.

The author of this article is Karehka Ramey. He attended the University of London. The point of his article is to inform the many advantages of technology. It states advantages and disadvantages. However, I would only use the advantages since that’s the way I am arguing. . It would help me because I am arguing that there are many benefits of technology to society and it agrees with me. It agrees with me that there are many benefits, such as communication, in the medical field, entertainment, and social networking.

The momentum of obsolescence became increasingly stronger as the decades passed, and in contemporary society, the dynamics of planned, technological, and psychological obsolescence is unmistakable. Today, products are made of faulty parts, and have become gradually more expensive to repair. Consumers are now forced to weigh up the price of repair alongside the price of a replacement, giving them little choice but to pick the easier alternative and replace the item. An example of this modern triad of obsolescence can be seen within the “Apple Conspiracy”, where it is alleged that Apple releases software updates for iPhones that instead of enhancing the performance of the phone as promised, actually degrade it by making the phone slow, and decrease the battery life. Coincidentally, this often occurs when the newest model of the iPhone is released, prompting frustrated users to either upgrade their phone, or deal with a degraded product. The conspiracy’s major mainstream moment was an article in the New York Times by Catherine Rampell:

Nowadays, computers are emerging rapidly than never before in human history. Everywhere you go, either stores, malls or even your homes is filled with all kinds of electronics. We have come to a stage whereby everything we do or placed our hands on must be computers. We don’t even need to ask our parents questions anymore, all our answers or solutions including problems are all in the internet. According to Theodore Roszak in “Shakespeare Never Lost a Manuscript to a Computer Crash,” argues that “the computer contributes nothing essential to the life of the mind.” I strongly agree! We are created to use our minds to solve problems and think critically. Although computer usage might be a benefit to the majority of the new generation, the fact is that computers can do harm to the society such as lack of memory and isolation.

This is where the different approach of Carrs and Raja essays become obvious. Carr’s argument for negative impact of computer technology and our distraction by it versus its benefit and positive points in Raja’s essay. The thought of losing our focus and “intelligence” because of computer technology versus our lack of understanding and how to interact and benefit from computer science. Carr may be right or at least have a point about the negative impact of computer technology, internet and google for that matter, but “These technologies do not exist independently of the human persons who design and use them.” (Wellmon). May be it is us rather than the technology itself that bring this negative impact among us, how we interact and interpret

Our world has undergone two stages of technical revolution which made our community develop rapidly. Entering the third millennium, we’re living in a modern society which is significant development in ICT.

However, technology also consist drawbacks and has negatively effects on all fields in our society which people do not realize.

Kyle Cooper is one of the most prominent and influential designers of both the 20th and 21st centuries. As Jon M. Gibson states, his title sequences have, “…brought attention to an art form that has long been considered an afterthought…”. With more than 150 title sequences, five Emmy nominations, the Title of Honorary Royal Designer and the winner of the AIGA medal in 2014, Cooper has become a huge affect with title designers in the 21st century. His creation of the title sequence for Se7en (1995) is what brought the limelight to Cooper, after having such a success with both the public and filmmakers all around the world. The New York Times went so far as to say that this specific title sequence was one of the most important design innovations of the 1990s. Influenced by the works of Pablo Ferro, Saul Bass, Stephen Frankfurt and Maurice Binder, Cooper’s style and designs changed the way in which title sequences for movies, series and video games are done nowadays, by evoking a revival in the importance of a meaningful and well-designed title; something that had been gradually lost in the previous decades.

I was raised—and I think it probably was a cause and effect correlation here—in a very Puritan home and there were very few hugs and kisses in my home. No education or conversation about sex. I grew up believing in fairly traditional views and values about sex. I didn’t have sexual intercourse for the first time until I was out of college and I had spent two years in the army and it was with the girl I was planning on marrying. And she was my first wife. I believe that was typical of my peers. My friends and classmates and chums were all pretty much the same. It was the typical Midwestern, middle-class life. Very different than life today (“Hugh Hefner Discusses Playboy’s Legacy,” par. 3).

Cosmopolitan magazine, also known as Cosmo, is a fashion magazine known to target women around the world, on issues such as beauty, sex appeal, health etc. The magazine appeals to readers through the use of celebrities, featuring parts of their bodies, including (the magazines below) Khloe Kardashian, Nicki Minaj, and Demi Lovato.

Most male magazines contain articles about alcoholic drinks, flashy sport cars, hunting and fishing, new technology, economic adventures, travel, and last but far from the least topic of women and dating. Mostly male magazines will include jokes and cartoons about women and sexual matters. The luring factor of these male magazines is not the jokes, or other information but it is the photographs of beautiful young women wearing little to no clothing. When the rubber tends to hit the road nothing promotes male magazines better than sex. The marketers for the male magazine Che’ have realized that and use it in full effect with the advertisement they created in order to draw in the male consumer. The Che’ advertisement uses text, sexuality, and fantasy to lure in the male consumer,

Playing games on my father's computer as a child fascinated me in the way the computer works, how fast it develops, and now how the computer helps the world to communicate. It still amazes me in how fast computers change and how communication across the globe is enhanced with the computer. Computers have drastically changed how society lives and does business. Even small businesses can do global sales without leaving their location. With new strategies for business, comes cyber threats of identity theft and theft of intellectual property that brings information technology security and new laws into play. It is becoming a fast and ever challenging world. Computer science enables the ability to program software for protection against these kinds of threats and vulnerabilities. It also enables the ability to program artificial intelligence into the computer system software to enable society to meet their needs in more appropriate ways.

The computer is one of the most important technologies in this world. Due to the invention of the computer, our society as a whole has changed immensely. We can just get on the
