The Tech Trap

The Rationale
Technological advances are great! Or are they? In “The Judgement of Thamus,” author Neil Postman makes the claim that ancient King Thamus’ assessment of the technology of writing is not entirely accurate because King Thamus claims that “writing will be a burden to society and nothing but a burden” (Postman 152). Postman asserts that while King Thamus was wise, he was also short-sighted in that Thamus was failing to acknowledge there could even possibly be any societal benefits to this new technology.

In “Escape from the Matrix,” Jacob Burak defines and discussed FoMO, the fear of missing out, phenomenon that many people experience today. Daniel J. Solove wrote an essay weighing the pros and cons of security vs. privacy called, “Why ‘Security’ Keeps Winning Out Over Privacy.” All these authors have concerns regarding the need for technology of some fashion and the potential for humanity to fall into a Tech Trap.

Do you agree with any or all of the authors? Why or why not? Is The Tech Trap anything we should worry over?

The Task
In a 5-6-page argumentative essay, define how you understand The Tech Trap and discuss if, how, and why it is an issue.

Use at least 2 in-class readings and 2 sources from outside class to make and support your claim and to discuss counterarguments. You can also use your sources to help you define what The Tech Trap is by giving them as examples.

You will need two (2) different points of support for your claim, with each point of support being discussed over a minimum of two (2) paragraphs. You will need one (1) counterpoint immediately following the associated point and also discussed over two (2) paragraphs. After your counterpoint, you will give a one (1) paragraph—minimum—rebuttal to the counterpoint. Considering that a typical paragraph is roughly ½ page, these requirements, along with an intro & conclusion will easily get you beyond five (5) pages, especially if your intro is at least two (2) paragraphs and your conclusion has a call-to-action and answers “So what? Who cares?” And make sure to add section headings.

2. In a paragraph, summarize – what information is in source #1? How do you plan to use it in your paper? Also, pull out at least one quote which you might use in your paper.
Source #1 talks about how Science Fiction changed over the decades. I will probably use it as some sort of introduction for my paper. “Science fiction from the golden age of sci-fi in the ’50s and ’60s seems to have an optimistic angle on the future. More recent science fiction seems to be a little more dystopia and bleak”. This might be a quote I will use in my paper.

4. In a paragraph, summarize – what information is in source #2? How do you plan to use it in your paper? Also, pull out at least one quote which you might use in your paper.
Source #2 gives a brief timeline of the history of science fiction. It talks about how science fiction was created. It also provided the most stunning literature of that year. When writing my paper, I would probably use some of the famous literature provided in source #2 as an example when introducing the history of science fiction. A quote I would use in my paper is “[s]cience fiction emerged nearly 300 years ago during a time of great advances in science. Since then authors have tried to make sense of their world by imagining what the future will look like.”

This website briefly summarizes the definition of science fiction; for example, what is science fiction and what does it mean. This website also talks about the characteristics of science fiction literature. Science fiction is a type of speculative fiction that includes elements that do not exist in reality. Science fiction covers a wide range of topics, including time travel, space travel, futuristic settings, and the implications of technical and scientific advancements. I am planning to use this source for the introduction of my paper. This is a great source for me to start my writing on because I can use it to introduce science fiction literature. I quote I may be using for my paper is “[s]cience fiction is one of the most creative genres in literature. Sci-fi novels take readers on adventures from faraway galaxies to underwater worlds and everywhere in between, introducing them to otherworldly characters and technologies along the way. Learn more about the history of this fascinating genre”(Masterclass)

AN ANALYSIS OF EXTERNAL ASSET MANAGEMENT AND ITS IMPACT ON ASIA’S FAMILY OFFICE SECTOR IN THE NEXT DECADE

The research should ideally cover the following 3 aspects –
What are the key trends in the external asset management industry for Asia?
How will the evolution of the external asset management industry impact the Asia’s family office?
How will the investment returns be impacted should asset management decisions be shifted to the hands of external asset management firms?

However, quantitative data may be hard to gather, thus can the writer propose a slight modification to the research question, so that data gathering would be easier
and more sources can be used to supplement the research paper writing!
