HW NOV 24 outline

OUTLINE

Focus on paper: creating connections, improving memory, clarifying thinking.

1. Thompson's claim: The internet has enhanced the way we think, read, and write in the modern era today.

4. I will be using Thompson's and Carr's sources to introduce the different views of how the internet effects the world today. Along with the use of Thompson's text, I will take claims from the "Why Cant Johnny Write?" article and points from my own personal experience to discuss how the internet effects us in a positive way by changing the way we read, think, and write. The focus of the final paper will discuss the clarification of thinking, the creation of connections of others, and the improvement of memory, all due to the effect of the advancement of technology/internet.
