ENGL101 CCOP Technological Advancements and Innovations Essay
A number of the selections in “How We Connect” examine the ways digital culture has reshaped our personal, social, and/or political lives. First, choose an example of a digital technology that you feel has shaped our personal, social, and/or political lives.
Then write a 3- to 4-page essay in which you describe and evaluate the particular change this technology has caused. Questions to guide your paper: What behavior or attitude has this technology altered? What new norm has it given rise to? And do you regard this change as positive or negative? Why?
This essay will follow standard academic essay format: introduction-body-conclusion. Given the length requirement for this paper, the body will consist of more than three paragraphs. Just be sure to have a thesis statement in your introduction and to use transitions between body paragraphs.
Also, remember to follow MLA format for the heading on the first page and all in-text citations. You MUST cite your source/s (minimum one source from the chapter “How We Connect”).
