Overview: 

Nir Eyal states that “most of us aren’t addicted at all; we’re just guilty of overuse. If we want to avoid distraction, we can’t just throw our phones away or go on a digital detox; we need to deal with the psychological reasons we’re looking for distraction in the first place.”

I was tasked with discussing this topic and deciding whether or not I would agree or disagree with the statement. I decided on the former and presented my argument to support my decision.

Implementation:

For the effective delivery of my stance I decided to create a podcast. I felt this would be the best way to illustrate how deeply I felt about Nir Eyal’s statement. With a podcast I could draw my listeners in and have them experience what I am saying based on my tone of voice, inflections and pauses. It was the best way they could quickly identify with what I am saying.

Feedback:

Great storytelling and portrayal of my argument.
