This may provide some counter-point that you'll use, or some arguments you'll want to per-emptively attack, but either way, here are those links:<br /><br />The show: http://www.npr.org/programs/ted-radio-hour/406238794/trust-and-consequences?showDate=2015-05-15<br /><br />The most pertinent talk: http://www.npr.org/2015/05/15/406450298/how-can-trusting-strangers-fuel-an-economy<br /><br />I hope they're useful.J.

The negative/positive effects of technology aren't exactly breaking news. Extrapolating, however, on the future consequences of this behavior would be interesting and consequently quite arguable.Alec Hammondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10587633261538386864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441758389977123332.post-22428863002714790642016-03-21T13:09:20.032-06:002016-03-21T13:09:20.032-06:00This is very negative-centric, but makes strong ar...This is very negative-centric, but makes strong arguments. A strong concrete example is the multiple studies showing how parents being so involved in their devices hurt their children. My wife has had to help children on the playground whos parents were so involved in their phones that they didn't even hear their kids get hurt or calling for help. Something like this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/moms-viral-experiment-urges-parents-to-rethink-screen-time_us_563b7247e4b0307f2cac4020 . In any case, your strong arguments need strong support, and acknowledging counter-claims to what you're saying can strengthen your arguments, because that will show that you've researched multiple aspects of your topic.J.
