RJA #10b: Argument

Precise claim:
Technology has more negative effects on young people’s social and writing skills then positive effects.

Reason 1:
Young people don’t gain social skills over technological devices.

Warrant:
You gain social skills by interacting with people in person.

Reason 2:
Using technology decreases usage of proper skills of the English Language.

Warrant:
Its easier to shorten words like “what to wat” or use acronyms like “be right back to brb”, when using technological devices like instant messaging and texting. They get use to writing like that and they use that same writing in the classrooms.

Reason 3:
Technology is a distraction.

Warrant:
Being on social network sites or texting is much more fun to do then to do homework. Technology is a distraction to what children should be doing.
