Planning Essay 4

My issue, the problem of information technology consuming the everyday lives of young adults and teenagers specifically, has four main perspectives that I covered in my first draft of the paper:
-Professors and educators believe that technology in the classroom should be prohibited, unless they can specifically monitor its use and students can use it to their academic advantage,
-Parents think it is harmful to the educational potential of their children, yet they don't know what to do to stop it, because their children are already addicted,
-The teenagers, tweens, and young adults themselves believe that social networking and technoloy are necessary for life, because they have grown so accustomed to having it around, right at their fingertips,
-And the manufacturers of such technological devices and advances on the Internet believe also that it is pertinent, because we are now living in an age of information, and it is their job to make it better and better for each generation.

Now that I can start planning essay 4, I think I'm going to propose an idea to limit the amount of time people spend on Facebook, Twitter, their iPones, and the like, in order to increase their potentials for academic success. I want people to realize that these things, though fun and interesting, aren't necessary for social contact and life in general; that there is life outside of Facebook.

I am content with the research I have done, and I think I can use it to provide some information about the benefits and disadvantages of technology today, while using one side to implement my proposal. I might have to do a but more research, but I think I'll have everything I need, because this paper is less of a research paper that Essay 3 was.
