Essay 2
I think that for my essay two, I am going to keep my first essay and just expand on it. I like the points I had in my first essay, and I think that adding some research would help enhance my essay and strengthen my viewpoints. I had a single personal experience in my first essay, so I will expand on that experience. I will also add statistics to back up my points and capture the reader’s attention. I have found many good examples of technology detriments in Stephen King’s short stories, both the ones we have been reading and the one’s I have read on my own. I am only going to have three main points in my new essay. I think I will use; how dependent we are, the physical dangers of technology, and the problem of identity theft. All three of these points will relate back to my overall topic of how technology is detrimental to our society. I am sure that I want to use cell phones in the first point, because almost everyone has a cell phone now. As we were talking about in class, I will also mention transportation as a detriment to society. I think for my second point I may use some type of technology from an everyday business that can cause injury, but is unheard of. If I cannot find anything, construction jobs are always dangerous. For my third topic, I will use something like online banking, since so many people use that. Those are basically my ideas for essay two.

I like the ideas you have for essay 2. Althought I am pro technology I would have to disagree on sometimes. One of them is how would online banking be detremental when it saves time, saves paper (online billing), keep track of your funds in an instint, see your useage and etc? Overall I think you have some great ideas for con - technology.
I think this is a good topic of technology on how the internet would be a detriment because of like identity theft and online banking. Transportation could be a detriment to society because we rely too much on it and when something goes wrong with your car everything is in an uproar.
I'm also looking at the detriments of technology and I agree people are very dependant on it, of course I am guilty of being dependant on it too, I'm not sure how I would survive without it.
