Week Four Blog

This weeks blog is about our argumentative paper that we wrote over the past week. The topic i wrote my paper on was weather or not the internet has affected the America in a more positive or negative manner. I think i pciked a poor topic to write on, because it was very difficult. I always pick a bad topic when we have to pick our own, i almost wish they were assigned. In any case, i suppose the reasons why it was probably as difficult a topic to write about as it was because, even as large a topic as it is, its hard to narrow any topic about the internet down. Even though i feel like i picked a specific topic, there are just so many subtopics that fall underneat it. There were the obvious facts about the internet being a massive source of information and such, but then there's internet dependency, porn, whether or not its having an effect on growing children, if its an effective learning tool, and just on and on. To wrap that up, it felt like even though it seemed like i had picked a topic, it was impossible to narrow it down to a point of being able to write about it. Also the fact that our sources had to be very picky did not make it any simpler. This topic was impossible to find in a database or news related site like we were supposed to. I'm feeling like my topic is going to need some serious shaping up and editing before i can write whole thoughts about it. The things i found out about my topic are few and far. The obvious fact that the internet is a massive database probably carried my paper. But there are easily more negatives than positives as far as i could tell. Dependency, and such like i listed before.
