Too much? With the announcement of the new iPhone 7 and the continuous release of new features and accessories, technological involvement in everyday life only increases and parents are still stuck in the past and technological limitations. In the articles Blame Society, Not the Screen Time by Danah Boyd, and Don't Limit Your Teen's Screen Time by Chris Bergman, both authors express their thoughts on the use of technology by teenagers of this generation and why guardians should allow your children to use the Internet. . The authors use rhetorical appeals to persuade and convince their audience that technology and the Internet are a safe place for teenagers to find their interests and be themselves. While Bergman does a better job of logically drawing in the audience by pointing out parental hypocrisy, Boyd effectively balances ethos and pathos by gaining credibility as a researcher on the topic of screen time and excelling at connecting with her audience. Boyd does a great job transferring this quality to his audience. He uses personal experiences from the past regarding his relationship with technology to achieve the goal of this article. He writes, "[a] young geek and queer growing up in suburban America in the early 1990s, the Internet was the only place I didn't feel judged" (Boyd 1). This is effective because readers may have experienced something similar while growing up and most likely fear that their children may experience the same thing. Although Bergman also explains his personal experiences, he does not connect emotionally with the audience. Through my experience in comparing two texts, more often than not, the writer who uses pathos more effectively than the other usually attracts and persuades the audience member better than the other.
