LIVE YOUR LIFE BEYOND THE SCREEN
Joel Stein appeals to authority to present to the reader the different data that backs up the reason why a large percentage of people feel certain discomfort towards the Millennials generations.
"Call those younger than me lazy, entitled selfish and shallow"
The author creates empathy towards the millennials by describing and highlighting their best attributes.
“They’re earnest and optimistic. They embrace the system, they are pragmatic idealists, tinkerers more than dreamers.”
The author by using bias demonstrates and states his real side on this story and how important is for him to speak up by attempting to change the way people see this new generation.
“Tom Brokaw loves millennials. He calls them the wary generation, and he thinks their cautiousness in life decisions is a smart response to their world”
Through the use of bias the authors put a greater emphasis on the positive effects of millennials upon society, since they perceived their way of living as an adaptation to a world of abundance.
"A generation's greatness isn't determined by data; it's determined by how they react to the challenges that befall them. And, just as important, by how we react to them... Me, I choose to believe in the children. God knows they do."
Through the use of appeal to authority the authors support their main idea and further emphasize the fact of how millennials are just adapting to their environment being a continuation of a trend.
"I think in many ways society blames millennials for the technology that happens to exist right now"
Through counter argument, the author goes against is own point of view and portrays the negative aspects of millennials such as narcissistic, overconfident as well as entitlement.
"Now that cell phones allow kids to socialize at every hour, they send and receive an average of 88 text a day. 70% of them check their phones every hour, and many experience phantom pocket-vibration syndrome. There is a lack of face to face interaction and higher degrees of narcissism. Not only do millennials lack the kind of empathy that allows them to feel concerned for others, but they also have trouble even intellectually understanding other's point of view"
In an analysis of this text the reader will understand how the millennilas lifestyle is more of a continuation of a trend than a revolutionary break from previous generations.

Through the use of examples the author demonstrates his idea of how technology has a great influence on people.
-“ 2009 survey of 4,000 people by a Canadian market research company indicating that people believe technology is bringing the family together, not pulling it apart, by a substantial margin.”
Through point of view, the author illustrates his second idea of how technology has become an important influence in people and how much they depend on it.
-“Technology has become an alien, and alienating, force in the contemporary home.”
The superhighway
The definition of bias is to be in favour of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair.
How he see the technology effect
Throughout article we see the Gup’s point of view on the whole situation.
Yet it is to be remembered that through the advancement of life it is only beneficial for the world that technology advances with it, yet it is best to never get rid of and never forget life’s little surprises.
The negative tone towards the argument in general
In this short article the main device that is very evident is tone.
The evolution of life due to technology.
• It has positive and negative aspects
• Changes in the way we communicate.
• Technology can limit your experiences.
• People are adapting to the progression on the society.
Through contrast, the author establishes his first idea of how technology played a major role in families in the previous years.
-“The family was in the same room, but not together… One family. One room. Four screens. Four realities, basically.”
