Review: Reynoldsburg, Nables (2012). Negative Effects of Technology on Society.
Technological advancement is the inevitable future, it is not just a part of us anymore, it became an essential element of defining us as well. Devices create us a world where we can live, and be how we want to be. Impacts of technology on the social life and human behavior are undeniable. In the article of "Negative Effects of Technology on Society," author Nables Reynoldsburg states his viewpoints regarding these impacts. Even though author's claims and supports are biased, the article itself is well written and successfully convinces the reader.
Summary
Nables successfully intensifies his arguments by using real-life examples and quotes from other writers. He designates his ideas related to common problems that society faces while using technology. Moreover, he is very passionate about this issue and its affinity with the human nature. One example for efficient use of evidence he makes is verifying his argument by using data from statistics. He touches to the fact that technology is addictive and it steals our time from us. Recent studies of The University of Maryland show that students admit having cravings, anxiety attacks and depression when forced to abstain from using technology.
