Assignment - Social Impact of Technology
Directions: Be sure to use correct English spelling and grammar. Sources must be cited in APA format.
Instructions
Skim through it to refresh your memory. Next, carefully study and review the section titled "Approaches to Measuring Technological Progress." Next, relying solely on the material in your course, use your own words in order to write a short comparison and contrast essay that defines and explains three distinct perspectives on the evolution of technology. As you write, imagine you are talking to a friend who has no knowledge of this topic. In short, write the way you speak, using a conversational tone. Also, try to alternate short sentences and longer sentences to make your writing more readable.
Before, during, or after you've completed your essay, be sure to create a title and cite yourself as the author. For example:
A Comparison of Three Perspectives on the Evolution of Technology
Heather Jones
Your essay should have 5 paragraphs.
Paragraph 1 is your lead paragraph. It will contain an overview of what you have to say in comparing and contrasting the perspectives of Gerhard Lenski, Leslie White, and Alvin Toffler with respect to the evolution of technology.
Paragraphs 2, 3, and 4, are your body paragraphs. In your essay, paragraph 2 should describe the perspective of Gerhard Lenski.
In paragraph 3, you'll write about the perspective of Leslie White.
In paragraph 4, you'll describe and discuss the perspective of Alvin Toffler.
Paragraph 5 is your summary and conclusion paragraph. Here, you will compare the three perspectives to show how they are, or may be, similar. You'll contrast the three perspectives to describe how they are different. You will end this process - and your essay - by expressing your view as to which theorist or theorists offer the most useful insights into the evolution of technology.
Mechanics
Your document's margins should be 1 inch, top, bottom, left, and right. That's the default option if you use MS Word.
All your copy should be flush left.
For purposes of evaluating your essay, skip a line between each paragraph.
Make sure you use a standard indent for the first sentence of each of your paragraphs. Pressing the tab key one time is a simple way to do that.
It's permissible to use direct quotes from the lesson. But don't overdo it. One to three such quotes should be your limit. In any case, be sure to bracket a direct quote with quotation marks. For example: According to Marlowe, "White and Lenski are on the same page."
Begin by writing a first draft. Then, remembering that writing is rewriting, try and try again to make your prose readable. After you think you've composed a final draft, go over your essay again to locate and correct grammar and spelling errors.
