Argument

• Dependent on electronic technology• Technology enables us to be more efficient• Improves accuracy and saves time• When electronic technology suffers, we find it

hard or foreign to adapt• Non-electrical methods still available but

neglected

pathos:1-on-1 conversations are obsolete, facebook makes it easier to converse but hard to address situations

logos:names and your own interpretation of words and tones of voice

ethos:wikipedia logo at top but how credible is wikipedia, library book

pathos:dark computers, light reflecting off of the neglected book, trapped in between computers

logos:TCU library stamp versus Wikipedia

ethos:Facebook logo at top

pathos:most recent news, facebook status indicates worthiness, relatable, addresses technology and emotion with it
