So this should be a rough idea for our intro paragraph and thesis if you will.

Technology has given birth to a whole new world and has evolved the way information can be received on a level never before imagined. With the national rising of Twitter and Facebook, we have seen large amounts of news spread and many visual aids, such as pictures and videos, allow for virtually anyone to play a role in the landscaping of the world. However unintended consequences seem to have been brought upon by the digital age. It cannot be argued that a large amount of careers and individuals have been able to rise from this new era and some can even say dominate this new world, but even that can't take away from a very real problem in today's world. With the fast-paced world of the digital age, it is quickly becoming apparent that today's literacy levels are decreasing and in some cases at a very rapid level. Most affected by this increasingly illiterate world is the newest generation who are being born into it. Being literate means being able to understand the ideas, both common and uncommon, critically think about the ideas presented, and being able to form or reform ideas based on previous ones. Failing to have any of these three skills is the basis for illiteracy and results in lower literacy scores, lack of social competence and even violent tendencies.

So how was it. Sorry it's a bit late.

Sorry my computer and internet were out yesterday. I might not be able to help out since I get off work at 7pm PST/10pm EST . I feel like I never really contributed, so it's fine to just take my name off the group. What I can do, if you would still have my contribution, is write for me a rough draft of our statement, and I can clean it up, but if guys feel done before I get off work then I understand. I apologize for being such a bad group member, so good luck with the assignment.

Can I ask for a copy of our essay. More eyes looking over it can ensure a mistake-free essay.

Um I'm a pretty good writer. Sorry if it seems that I'm just scapegoating the work with just this, my internet has been on the fritz, I will begin looking for more articles, but for now I felt like throwing my hat on the table. The way I imagined doing this assignment was an essay, but if people had other ideas than I'm all ears.
