Unobserved Future

In modern day society , students are on instagram instead of taking notes in class, office workers shop on ebay at work and parents take their iphones to the beach instead of the books they used to to read. Maggies Jackson , a writer for Boston Globe states electronics are less of annoyances , yet becoming more of a distraction leading to a new dark age. Jackson uses personal stories and tells of her extensive research in the article to make her readers believe in her credibility. These three rhetorical appeals combining with her alarmed tone creates an effective argument on electric distranticon.

We’re surrounded by technology and the problems created with technology, and science fiction isn’t important?” This quote shows that the problems generated by electronics are being ignored. These issues are growing larger and more hazardous. The Impending future will be disastrous if these flaws are not acknowledged soon! In other words, science fiction and dystopian authors warn readers about technology and its negative side effects.

This pamphlet warned that AC power yielded “unsatisfactory results”(30), could only be “applied to a few practical uses” (30),and was a “form of real danger”(31). Further emphasising the danger inherent in AC power, Edison hired a man named Harold Brown to be his anti-AC spokesman. Brown would travel around and speak to audiences about the AC’s harmfulness, then provide a demonstration by electrocuting animals. Despite his success, Brown was not satisfied by the effect electrocuting animals had on the audience, he wanted to provide a demonstration that would have the public believe without a doubt that AC current was not to be touched. On August 6th, 1890 William Kemmler, a convicted ax-murderer, was electrocuted by a Westinghouse generator illegally purchased by Brown.

You can't see or smell the electrical pollution, but you're feeling the effects. But because they've become so much a part of life -- and we've got such an active telecommunications industry -- we're just concerned about convenience. No one is connecting the dots and saying, "Wow, I've been tired and I can't sleep. I'm taking more anti-depressants." And it's really all about convenience. And I think we're too busy to pay attention, and it is an inconvenient truth. People just don't want to look at

The main claim of this article is that there will always be fear new technology and that it will damage society. An example from the article looks back at history to the invention of the radio and how people condemned it because of the harm it brought to children that listened to it, according to

When people hear the term “nuclear energy”, the first thing that jumps to their minds is most often “danger”. Who could blame the world for their intense fears of nuclear power, especially after reading the reports from Dr. Ira Helfand and the American writer, David Biello? Dr. Helfand’s article, “Radiation’s Risk to Public Health”, attacks the nuclear energy with facts and concerns like those of the National Research Council BEIR VI report. Whereas Dr. Helfand supports his claims with scientific evidence, David Biello only had a script from a discussion that followed the Fukushima crisis. David Biello’s article, “How Safe Are U.S. Nuclear Reactors? Lessons from Fukushima”, he uncovers secret concerns and future plans about the incredibly disastrous incident. Although David Biello used credible sources and attempted to appeal to ethos, logos, and pathos, Dr. Ira Helfand contains an authority in his education and knows a great deal more about nuclear power and definitely has the best representation of ethos, logos, and pathos.

Even thought it’s the best wearable technology, it has some harmful effects too. All of the wireless devices produces EMF radiation to be able to transfer data which is very dangerous

"when it was reported that hordes of children died from cancer In 1979, resided more often in homes thought of being exposed to higher EMF than what healthy control children did"(4); cancer was associated with exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) for a long time. The risks were recorded as high as 2.2 for all cancers, 2.4 for brain cancer and 3.0 for leukemia.

This creates a selective exposure mentality in the sense that if the tool being used has been here before the person was born or even if the tool is used to support daily activities within the American household and lifestyle, then in no way should it be harmful to humans or the environment. There must be a different way in which American citizens can identify such potential dangers so that disaster can be avoided. One approach is to have professionals in the related field expose such technologies that people believe are helping them but instead are causing damage to the environment. As a previous low voltage linemen with seven years of experience, alongside my father who has been a low voltage linemen for twenty plus years, one tool that must be

All these stories talk about electrixty but yet they are all different in their own ways. we’re going to need something like this in the future if our atmosphere gets worse. These stories all have a natural way to create energy without fossil fuels, if somehow we could mass produce all these we wouldn’t even need light bulbs and this would save a lot of carbon from going into the atmosphere. Once the atmosphere problem worsens all these could easily come in to play people would start believing things like the light bulb is destroying the planet.

Regardless of where a person lives or the time period they were born; we all have encountered a monster of some sort. Society considers a serial killer (a person who kills more then three people) with behavioral issues, and psychological issues a monster, such as BTK killer, Jeffery Dohmar, and Charles Manson. Another form of monster that people of all ages encounter are electronics, they are considered a “have to have” such as; cell phones, computers, and video games. The thought of these two very similar but very different examples are characterized as monsters. The characteristic of a serial killer and those of electrical use have a major impact on whether society will consider it “scary” or “harmful” for the generation to come.

Kong Qiu, known more commonly as Confucius, was a philosopher and politician regarded as one of the most significant and influential teachers in Chinese history. Despite the fact that he lived during the B.C. era, his words are relevant to the modern day world, and, I think, especially relevant to the present day United States.

I am going to talk about the arguments about how cell phone radiation can affect our lives and whether these arguments are accurate or not. Cell phone radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation that has the ability to cause health issues. The radiation from this device can cause serious brain tumours, according to one study by Anna Lahkola of the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in Finland, which found that people who use their cell phone for more than 2000 hours have a higher chance of getting a brain tumour. The

We live in a digital age. It is a part of most people’s daily lives. We use our electronics to wake us up, and then inform us of our daily schedule, news, e-mail, stock portfolios, and various other information throughout our day on various devices, including phone calls. For most of us, this is a daily routine, as the generations before who listened to the town crier or local gossip for their news, or we progressed to reading newspapers or books, to gathering around the radio for information, on to watching television, and finally the computer. We now live in a world that is hyper plugged-in, so much so, that we carry our chargers with us anywhere we go for fear that our electronics will run out of power. So are we better off plugged-in

radiation (the kind used in X-rays) is known to cause cancer at high doses, the risks of
