Part I
After the class today I made some small changes in my critical
question and it become to “how the progression of technology has changed the
society and you’’. The first criteria which is be personally meaningful to you
it fix perfectly because I think I have been the generation how saw the
greatness of the progression of the technology. I lived in the years of simple
black and white cellphone to the nowadays smartphones, so It is meaningful to
me. With this fast development people around the world are concerned whether is
a good or a bad thing. It is also very easy to generate sub-questions like “
how has it affected our social life’’, “how has it affected our patience and
intimacy”. It is not too broad because it is narrow down to you and society and
also not to specific about what kind of technology. In addition, I did put my judgments
in the question whether what I think it is good or not. I think this question
would help me to think more things around me. By making questions and thinking
I will have more ideas to came out for the second and third project.

Part II
My
Artifact is my car. Since a boy I was waiting for this moment, a car in my name
that was chosen by me. I got this year in March 27th. This car is my
first one. I have had drive experiences before, but none of the cars were mine.
Therefore, I really love and take care of it. It is a white Honda civic. It has
black and silver wheels, audio Bluetooth connection, parking assistance,
sunroof, and a futuristic panel. It is almost everything that I wanted in a
car. I just wished it could be manual car instead of automatic. With my car my
life in Lincoln start to have more quality. My car is constant helping me get
to places. Restaurant, grocery store, parks and friends house are places that I
had difficulties in access. I was limited in just places nearby me. Thanks to
my car I had the opportunity to go to Omaha, Kansas City, and many places that
I did not know that existed in Lincoln. I love the feeling of driving it. I can
control everything on it. It is like spending time with best friends I love it.
I think nowadays everyone across the world would like to have one because the
car has several benefices and it is also icon of richness in some country. As a
mentioned before my car helps me to get in places, so cars are very needed by
people. They can vary sizes, luxury, and brand. There are many type of car
invented by us that has a specific function. They play an important role in our
society. The cars have been improving a lot with the development of the
technology. They used to consume a lot of gas, used to be slower, without
air-condition, no audio, parking assistance, air bags and etc. Therefore, I
think my reformed critical question which is “ how the progression of technology
has changed the society and you’’ I can use car as example to demonstrated how
big is the influence of car in our nowadays life, how the have been improving
and what we think about this improvement.
Your revision to your critical quesiton sounds good. i do think the way you've framed this question it will give you lots of possibilities for further exploration int he course. Your aftfact alsos ounds good, but perhaps a little obvious or cliche. How do you imagine your essay taking a new perspective on cars and technology and connecting it to your own personal experience (stories about you). I'm guessing unlike much of what you wrote in Engl. 187, this assignment doesn't really ask you to make an explicit argument (yes, it will have a point), but your goal is more to explore the question rather than make a specific argument about it.
