Nicholas carr argues that satellite navigation systems "are not designed to deepen our involvement with our surroundings" what does he mean by that? summarize his argument. is it persuasive? why or why not?

Answer

Hi,

He means that satellite navigation systems will surely get your location but you will never know where you are.

The explanation here is that people lose the sense of connecting with nature when technology takes over. People nowadays do not see the need of wanting to know because they will just look it up in Google! Thus with the current rate of technological advancement, people are losing the mastery and knowledge about the surroundings which develops with time and deep engagements with things.

This argument is persuasive because the meaning of life originates from mastery of knowing things that surrounds us from experience and interaction but if technology does it for us, then what do have to be proud of?

Hope this Helps!

the answer is   c the cold war

the correct answer is b. in order to explain a point clearly in an essay, it is always better to include a clear example of your ideas. including an scenario in which a family is affected by consumerism will support your argument as well as supporting details, such as quotations from experts and statistics. option a could be correct, but statistics and quotations are supporting ideas rather than clear explanations. choices c and d are simply inadequate. they do not add information about the effects of consumerism, rather they are strategies for engaging the reader
