My Enthymeme (& a slightly changed topic):

Ok, so my blog is changing slightly now. The previous posts have been focused mainly on pressure from the web, so basically on increasing internet technology. But now, I am taking more of a broader approach. I’m using just technology in general, because modern technology is increasing so much-at such a fast rate, that it seems to be taking over our world. With this new approach in mind, this blog includes my enthymeme, as well as defining those who are my audience.
My audience is basically those who find themselves using modern technology often, if not on
a day-to-day basis.
My enthymeme is as follows:
WATCO: What are the consequences of the increasing modern technology on opportunities to stay connected in a natural and normal way with other people and the world
around them?
Claim: The increasing modern technology is detracting from opportunities to stay connected in a natural and normal way with other people and the world around
them.
Reason: Because the increasing modern technology places pressure on people to stay connected to the world technologically.
Assumption: Whatever places pressure on people to stay connected to the world technologically also detracts from opportunities to stay connected in a natural
and normal way with other people and the world around them.
