This not only allows her to appear unbiased but also make the target audience go from being targeted at the middle and older generations, but also towards the young generation (millennials), she establishes this by giving younger generations an actual source that they can relate to rather than just being told by someone who believes they know better than themselves which can often lead millennial to discard the information as the feel belittled.

In his article, Ludden argues that whether or not social media affects your loneliness depends on what you do with it. He examines studies that present that those who use social media to connect with friends who are farther from them experience more loneliness than those who use it to connect with friends who are closer to them. He also claims that the use of social media to examine other people’s activities and lives without participating can increase loneliness and socially awkwardness in the real world, especially when this is being done to compare one's own life to others. Overall, the key to his argument is that the effect of social media on one’s loneliness depends on their social skills and what they are using it for. One of the first rhetorical appeals brought out in Ludden’s article is the appeal to pathos.

In the essay, “Isolated by the Internet”, author Clifford Stoll explains that recent research, conducted by psychologists Robert Kraut and Vicki Lundmark, suggests that frequent use of the Internet has had a generally negative effect on the psychological well being of its users. Using examples from Kraut and Lundmark’s previously mentioned research, Stoll asks, “Will the proliferation of shallow, distant social ties make up for the loss of close local links?” The question Stoll raises here is entirely valid, and just as concerning; as the more time one spends online, the more time one subsequently spends alone, away from people he or she could be potentially interacting with. I believe Stoll’s concerns are completely justified as today, (falsely comforted by shallow, superficial relationships,
