#16 BIG PAPER OUTLINE

Thesis:
Digitization creates a complete sense of disembodiment, we have become so reliant on "everything digital" we don't know how to do things the hands on way. We have become brainwashed by large corporations and companies to keep up with the latest and greatest. the digital world is becoming bigger than us, whether that is acceptable is up for discussion and proves to be very controversial.

Argument 1:
Digital media is becoming limiting to our social interactions. (communication is less personal)
Evidence:
Texting, Sexting, Email, Facebook, Myspace.... addiction to the unnecessary.


Argument 2:
Technology can be deceiving, they are very unreliable and have many imperfections.
Evidence:
Extremely large amounts of money are spent on devices that are not perfect. Often times they are emotionally distressing and cause lots of frustration... Does it cause unhappiness that could be avoided?


Argument 3:
Become unaware of out sense of self and have lost a sense of our evniornment (what we are surrounded by)
Evidence:
We act like zombies


Argument 4:
With all the good there is some good, the Internet allows us to a wealth of knowledge and certain experiences that requires digitization.
Evidence:
Traveling
