The essay will address the argument concerning technology and how it may distance us from one another. It is derived from my major, which is Business, because often in business, technology is used to market products and keep consumers interested. In some cases, they become disinterested with their daily lives and consumed with technology in the process.
Three possible points may be that technology is used to keep consumers interested, consumers then become addicted to technology as a whole, and the use of technology in business has caused it to be inescapable. It supports the main argument by showing the consumer is bombarded by technology until it becomes their life and forces distance between themselves and others.
My intention is those who are distance but do not realize it will read the essay. Challenges may be that the essay is not delivered on a computer screen.
Potential resources could be The Selfie Phenomenon – Consumer Identities in the Social Media Marketplace . It speaks to the merging of social media, marketing, and business, as well as how consumers have begun to market themselves, taking notes from how business uses technology.
My key points show that consumers begin by using technology for its intended reason and then begin to branch out, using it for their own means, becoming more distances from one another in an effort to become closer to those that are too far away to actually “know.”
Integrating evidence would be needed when explaining how business uses technology, when consumers veer from using technology just for those purposes, and how consumers begin to use technology differently in order to show the distance that grows.
My own writing can be improved after receiving feedback if I take it constructively and integrate it in a way that is useful to the reader.
