From your own personal experience and knowledge of the internet and social media, and making reference to at least three (3) of the articles you discussed in the journals, write an essay in which you discuss your own views and conclusions about the impact of the internet and social media on our lives. Does this technology make our lives better, or worse—or a little of both?

Essays should be typed in Microsoft Word using 12 pt font, Times New Roman, black ink, double-spaced, and printed on the front side of the paper only (following MLA formatting). Each essay will be three to five pages in length, or about 900 – 1200 words

Essays must include a title, an introduction, a thesis statement, body/evidence, and a conclusion. The instructor will evaluate each essay using the attached rubric found at the end of this syllabus.
