I just finished reading the details to the final paper in its entirety, and I'm still a little torn between which topic to pick. There are only 2 choices and I have pros and cons for each book. I'm leaning towards Neil Postman's Technopoly book only b/c it relates to me more as a college student. I really did like Giles Slade's Made to Break a lot more than Postman's Technopoly. One reason is that I loved the argument and agreed with it completely. I shared a similar view on technology as it relates to "disposable consumerism" through daily observations that accumulate over a lifetime.
Chances are that I will pick the topic which is the easiest since it's finals time, but the difficult part for me is to differ between what makes each topic unique. I don't want to write a paper for the sake of writing a paper. I rather already have some opinion about which ever one I decide to write about. That's why I feel Postman's book would be ideal for a final paper.
