  "Can you imagine Harvard requiring shop class?" - The author makes emphasis on how crazy would it sound if this truly happened. Clearly opposing the author's argument and using this as a base to later on support his argument. In other words he uses the counter argument as support for his argument.

  The author points out that it might be true that people's educational program might lead(with or without learning practical skills in the process) them to some of the same aspects such as alternative fuels. But without having practical skills (or experience) their knowledge is useless.

  There is a "But" right after "liberal-arts education". This but is prone to indicate that a counter argument has been made. And that is that there are Colleges who already try to be "practical work colleges".

  Naysayer, the question is explicit. This mentions of what happen when we personally mess things up. All of the "social" world is there to see it. And they might have a totally different view of things or events that you do as something more serious or not to play with.

Weren’t we better off knowing a little bit less, a little less often, about everyone else?
- Juan Mayen on 23 Feb 12
  
  Question implied :Could we be better if we knew less about people, and not know so often? I probably have to agree on this one, we tend to look to much at fb and see people's relationship status change as fb changes its page characteristics (sigh* timeline, profile etc..)

  Pamela also takes lightly the comment the google spokesman said by jumping with her phrase "The faceless Web, seriously?" In my opinion that is considered informal and briefly mocks what has been stated.

A Google spokesman asserts that the program is designed to combat "the faceless Web." - Here Pamela is pointing at a naysayer because what the google spoke's women goes in the exact opposite direction Pamela is trying to lear her article too. Pamela previously states that there is too much internet interactivity and that people continuously see other people's lives(and therefore faces too), she gives it a tone in a way that it seem that this social media is going to drive her crazy.
