Diagnostic Essay

   
 
     Technology  today is very advanced and it keeps on advancing throw out the years. Everyone uses it in there daily life. Either it’s a cell phone, a laptop, I-pad or any other technology. There are some people in the world that cant go without . Although technology is important and helps us a lot, there are some down falls. Not all technology is reliable and it doesn’t last for every.
    I don’t think I could be in a school that didn’t have books. I think having books are better than have electronics devices . First of all they are expensive, and not only that if it breaks on you then you wouldn’t have books for class.  Or even some people don’t have money to be buy these devices. Also you would have to spend more money on fixing it or even buying a new one.  With those devices books don’t come free you have to buy them which that is more money out of your pocket. Another thing is after you graduate what are you going to do with all those book on your device, I wouldn’t want then on there taking up space.
    Even thought technology is in and everyone uses it I still think books are better. In order to use most electronic device you need internet, and internet isn’t always reliable. Sometime internet is down for couple of minutes or it can be down for a couples of days. But if you have books they are always there 24/7. It’s a reliable source. It also has things that aren’t even on the internet. To me, if I had an electronic device I think I would be on face book rather than paying attention to the teacher. Also when I look at a computer screen for a while, the light starts to hurt my eyes.
    I think that if people back in the day didn’t have technology like we do today and they did fine with just books then we can to. Yeah its good that we have computers and other high tech. things but I don’t think we should change the way we learn. Books are very helpful even more helpful than the internet.

  1. Hi Krystal:

    I understand your point of view, although the number of typos and editing lapses were quite distracting for me as I tried to understand your argument.

    Regarding your argument: I'd like to see more evidence in support of your claims--mostly in the form of expert testimony and experience. Remember that the assignment requires you to draw upon the three sources given to you. I don't see that happening here.

    You may also want to slow things down a bit, developing your points, separately in separate paragraphs.


    typo? throw out the years.

    their: there daily life.

    not quite a sentence? Either it’s a cell phone, a laptop, I-pad or any other technology

    why no apostrophe? cant go

    disadvantages? some down falls

    having? have electronics devices .


    why the shift to "you"? on you
    typo? buy them which that is more money out

    plural adjective, singular noun mismatch: all those book

    typo? Even thought technology


    cap? face book

    too much like speech? note missing apostrophe, comma as well: Yeah its good
