We Eat Social Media for Breakfast Essay

As im slowly getting closer to senior year ive come to realize so many things about my life. From reading out of encyclopedias and having to wait a week to look at all the pictures ive taken on my costco camera to being able to use my phone for basically anything, ive noticed that ive been growing up in a time where humans are evolving. Although letting your food get cold for a 100 like worthy picture may not be as similar to knives and fire, Dr. Preston explains how in some ways the internet could be better. We dont live in an age where we have to wait weeks to receive news from loved ones, we live in an age where Dr. Preston can share his delicious meal with his adorable daughter instantaneously. Although Dr. Preston does not speak like a lot of us, he clearly uses diction in his essay that gets the reader hooked to the fact that the Internet is a tool. While explaining his reason behind his statement that the Internet is a tool,He uses the word "Evolutionary" and "Comunicate." As i read his essay and stumbled upon this type of diction Prestons tone became clear to me. In order to get the reader hooked to his argument he presents his diction and the way he makes his sentences long in an admiring and hopeful tone. This helps Preston develop his argument that the Internet is a tool, because it paints a clear comparison of how cavemen mustve said "WOW!!" When they discovered fire. I think it is crazy how in my short 16 years on this world ive seen a big chunky computer turn into a 5 inch phone. The craziest part about it is that they're no limits to how the internet may be used 40, 50, or 60 years from now.
