Argument 1: Technological advancement resides amongst human evolution, therefore technology will overwhelm physical labor.
Human Evolution: Ever since we were cavemen, we have tried to pursue shortcuts that can make our lives easier. Alongside the evolution of the body, our minds grow more intelligent craving change. (Online Research)
History of Tools: Comparing the past to present. Everything Bad is Good for You
Argument 2: Without the mind the body cannot live. If technology can manipulate the way we think and feel, it can satisfy us for eternity. Compare Physical vs. Mental.
Wall-E: This disney flick interprets us humans to become physically unfit after relying heavily to technology.

New forms of technology can be controlled by just thinking? If this is possible, we may find a way to control all our personal belongings by thought. This reduces the amount of actual physical labor.
Argument 3: Change stimulates us and keeps us entertained. We will forever be unsatisfied with what we have and assume something new will sweep us off our feet. Technology is in high demand by people all around the world, so it will continue to become bigger and better... as we see it at least.
Electronics: Technology such as video games are treasured by people of all ages. Since the development of the first video game system, or the first television, most things have become affordable and the population of people owning these electronics have increased. Companies that come up with the new entertainment systems will have to constantly think up something new.
Amon, I really like your outline. It is well thought out, and put together nicely. While I am still having a hard time coming up with a thesis, your thesis is amazing. All of your writing is worded very sophisticated, and even in your outline I understand what you are getting at. I appreciate that you discussed Wall-E, which I was thinking about but hadn't gotten to doing so.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any suggestions or corrections that need to be made. I just think you should continue expressing your ideas and that you have solid pieces of evidence. Good luck with your paper, and I look forward to reading it.
