"Advanced technology always has dramatic effects on society. With the ability to work at home, a lot of people are leaving their offices for the greener grass that allows them to set their own hours, spend quality time with family and not have to deal with the often hasslesome commute to and from work. "
This quote talks about how the internet has a very big effect on society. As I stated before, the internet allows us to to tasks from the comfort of our own home while just 30 years earlier we would have to leave our house to do it. This comfort is causeing people to spend more time with their children, relax in thier own home instead of being in a stressful enviroment, and being able to work at home. The internet isnt a bad thing when it makes things simpler for us to do, but I do believe that we shouldnt totally depend on the internet and not ever leave our house again. The author of this article is Rob Purdy. This author uses little propagand in this quote. The only piece that I could find was glittering generalities. I think its that because he didnt say anything bad about the internet causing people to stay home more. He just talked about the positive things about it.
