How do I spend my Youth Day day off? By preparing material for a lecture answering the following essay question:
"Technology never provides solutions – it only poses more problems." What is your view?
What follows is NOT a 'model answer'. It's more like a coherent collection of ideas that the candidates might have included in their essays, but pitched at the level of a well-written H1 paper.
Again, to me it's just an outline for a much larger paper, since I've left many claims unsubstantiated, but even then it's still a hefty 1800+ words long. For one thing, it's a very general question, and for another I'm trying to incorporate as much subject material as I've gathered from all the essays I've been grading, so I've got a lot of mileage to cover.
Next step is to condense it to about half its size, and in a form a 17 year-old would be reasonably expected to present it in.
