    Chuck Klosterman, an American essayist, writes about the issues we face in pop culture today. An article he wrote, “Robots”, is written about the societal fear of a robot takeover. He criticizes our fear that robots are physically going to takeover the world because of the massive amount of media that portrays the robots as a technological war rather than a mental conquest. Through swift changes from formal diction to colloquial statements and allusions to modern media, Klosterman is able to provide evidence that technology has already mentally conquered us.…

    In Better than a Human: Why Robots Will-and Must-Take our Jobs by Kevin Kelly, the author voices his opinion about how robots will eventually replace humans in the workforce and how, according to the author himself, “The robot takeover will be epic.”(301). The article describes how all jobs from blue collar to white collar will no longer need to be done by humans, but yet gives no clear evidence or any information on how this will happen. The author doesn 't provide any strong supporting details to back up his claim and what make matters worse is that he contradicts himself further in to the reading saying how we will be working alongside with the robots as well. The article is completely one sided and doesn 't provide repercussions or backlash…

Kelly heavily relies on logos throughout his essay, it becomes his crutch as there is insufficient amount of strong evidence that prove his claim.…
