Essay 2 Ideas

My first essay was based on the beneficial products of technology regarding communication, transportation and entertainment. I will most likely use the first essay's focus as the ground work for the upcoming essay. Specifically, communication will include online social networking and cell phones, transportation will include cars, and entertainment will include video games.
I believe that social networks and cell phones bring us closer together regardless of the distances between us. Cars are important for us to use to get anywhere in today's speedy lifestyle and are generally convenient. Video games are a form of complex entertainment and in some cases can be considered a form of art. I'm planning on getting at least one source from research per topic. Getting only two sources for an essay with three points seems uneven to me. Finding disagreements to my points should be easy. Some people would say that social networking actually distances us from our loved ones and we become too addicted to updating our statuses to realize what's going on in the real world. With cell phones, people are too ready to text while doing things that require their full attention (ex. driving). Cars are still very detrimental to the environment and until we find a suitable replacement for fossil fuels they will continue to be so. Video games are occasionally viewed as a source of violence in children and teenagers and can contribute to procrastination in school. Generally speaking, I think this essay will be pretty easy and I should be able to complete this before the due date.
