Assignment Twelve: Thinking Critically About Evidence

Thesis: Having easy access to technology devices is a positive thing because people are much more informed of the things that happen around the community and country and for most people it is not making other people lazy.

Logos
-Technology of today has made accessing a lot of information with a click of a button.
-Mostly everywhere we go we encounter technology.
-It is growing and becoming very advanced.

Pathos
- People are becoming so addicted to technology
- People are not always missing out on everything because others might think that all they want to do is be on their phones or any other device.

Ethos
- Technology has not made all the people lazy

My most convincing evidence is that technology has not made the minds of people lazier nor dumber. I can say that technology has made it easier to access tons of information from the news to a particular topic. With applications and new technology being created it has created more jobs to people (in both the process of creating the products itself and by accessing information on jobs). This is my strongest support of evidence because it is something that my audience will think about and they don't always look at the positive sides of having technology. There is more I can expand on this particular claim such as, technology devices such as phones can be very helpful because people can easily be reminded of their duties and even teach them new things. It makes it easier for people to find places to go to and quickly be informed about anything that may interest them.

My weakest evidence is that I state that technology makes people lazier.  From this I can tell that many people would argue that it has made people lazier and that is why we have so many health problems. I can argue that it depends on people's choice and how it is not technology the cause to destroy humans. This point can weaken my argument and make it difficult for people to agree with me. I can argue that technology itself have been trying to improve the health of people by creating video games that allow them to move/exercise and also informing people of diseases and illnesses. I think that I am going to need to really focus on the weaknesses of my argument so that it can be more appealing to others.
