TA - My problem with this topic

I cannot form an argument from our general topic of technology.

There. I said it. I suck as a member of this class and as a human being. I have found a lot of information (a TON of it), all of which is very informative and makes me feel a lot smarter. However, none of my data leads towards a single enthymeme. I can develop WATCOs until the cows come home, but nothing that I come up with leads toward a viable argument.

What can I propose that would change how our children approach cell phone usage? I have a lot of data that shows that texting and other such new age communication media make our children less able to function in a real time interacting environment - but do we get rid of cell phones all together? Or should we treat text message as we did the Dodo and end its existence on this earth entirely? Even limiting the amount of text messaging in our nation and culture seems to be something that is beyond the ability of our population.

I was so interested in this topic when I first began researching it that I began attacking it with a religious zeal. But - I have since come to the depressing realization that my research has so far been in vain. Unless I can come up with a good WATCO and develop that into an airtight enthymeme, I might as well be doing research on balloon animals and their effect on the ozone layer.


I have a lot of work to do before this paper is due in six days. Pray for me.
