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.
2. My own sub-claim: The internet/advancements of technology
has enhanced the way we as humans think,
read, and write. The positive effect of the internet can improve memory as well
creating a way for us to be connected with one another.
3. Sources that will be used

Social Media." Mashable 4 May

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.
