This generation no longer have to keep remembering every single material they are learning. Or have to go back to the library and spend hours to find the book they used for an assignment. As Kosil and Marcel say, “We are gradually changing from a nation of callused hands to a nation of agile brains … Insofar as new information technology exercises our minds and provides more information, it has to be improving thinking ability” (Source B). This shows people have technology right between their finger tips which enables them to think beyond just the facts. It is no longer only sticking to the facts.

A Rhetorical analysis of “Generation Velcro” In “Generation Velcro,” Dorothy Woodend discusses the lack of basic skills and knowledge that is being passed down from generation to generation, and how this could be a fundamental problem for both generation Y and the future of planet earth. Woodend, setting the tone for her article, asks the question, “[i]s this generation heading into a coming dark age with little more than the ability to update their Facebook statuses and watch YouTube, all with laces untied?” (par. 7). She contends that “[t]he inability to concentrate in a world of competing bits of information and constant multitasking have led to brains that can no longer keep up,” implying that this problem of concentration is inhibiting this newest generation’s ability to learn the skills necessary to sustain our world properly (par. 12).

In the article “Laptops in the classroom: Mend it, don’t end it”, Justin Reich argues that “Computers can transform the way students learn only if instructors change the way they teach”. Reich is directing his argument towards faculty and administrative staff of academic institutions, who are subjected to Western culture’s way of learning and structure of the education system. Both the audience and the author are defined by their common occupation and similar teaching experiences and struggles. In this rhetorical analysis, I will argue that Reich successfully persuades his teaching peers to “Mend it, Don’t End It” with classroom technology through his reference to his personal credibility as an educational instructor and his appeal to the

The video Worst ever pitch, Worst ever product on BBC’s Dragons Den I found to be confusing. From the beginning of the video the inventor did not make a clear presentation of the problem his invention was going to help alleviate. Prior to pitching his idea he did not take any steps to meet with or do the research needed to ensure his product would be accepted by the local area that would be purchasing his product. In fact he stated that the woman who runs the traffic signals did not like his idea. When asked about his patent he seemed he struggled to explain what he had a patent on which indicated to me he was either lying or was unclear himself about what he had a patent on or how a patent works.

Take gadgets such as the cell phone for example; cell phones are one of the most commonly used devices in our society. There is no argument that such a small piece of metal and wires has “changed the way our society approaches learning and even life itself” (NCES). Some college professors and even elementary school teachers have formatted assignments to be technologically savvy.

Consequently, newer technologies and their implementation in people’s lives allow for such an immediate response they give to the user of the technology. In “Project Classroom Makeover,” Davidson discusses how she had her class at Duke try to come up with a new inventive way of using the new technology of the time, an iPod. Davidson discussed this when she stated, “we would be giving out free iPods to every member of the entering first-year class, there were no conditions. We simply asked students to dream up learning applications […] and we invited them to pitch their ideas to the faculty” (49). Giving these students free range on the application of the devices for an educational purpose, it provided them an environment where they can use their individual strengths to solve a problem at hand.

In her essay “In defence of the iGeneration,” Renee Wilson argues that today’s technology has benefitted not only the students, but also the generation as a whole. The advancement in technology allows for change, innovation and creativity that result in one of the best generations yet. Although Wilson generalizes today’s iGeneration, she succeeds in providing a compelling argument. Much of her argument is supported by scientific evidence and personal experiences that demonstrate the ability of the iGeneration to accept change and provide self-actualization. Wilson’s use of generalizations reveals a degree of disconnect between the current iGeneration and previous generations.
