Linear logic

In his article entitled “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” (2008), Nicholas Carr, a published technology author, argues that the use of the internet has altered the way our mind thinks, the way we communicate, and even the way we read. This affects society in such a way that we are no longer able to focus while reading printed text, let alone online articles with distracting factors such as hyperlinks and flashy pop up ads. Carr provides several sources of anecdotal evidence, case studies, and authority figures each in their respective fields, which contributes the foundation used to substantiate his claims throughout the article. Carr is hoping to inform his audience of the affects as he explains that although a very powerful computing system, the internet, has left us with fleeting attention spans and diminished comprehension skills. He adopts a very personal and relatable tone when addressing his audience who were captivated by the enticing title and interested in the effects the Net has on our cognitive functions. Carr uses his article as an opportunity to convey how our overuse of the Net can affect our focusing and thinking habits while trying to stay personally connected to the reader. He uses cause and effect structuring strategies to help guide the reader through the effects of dependence on the Net as our go to source for information. In this paper, I will be examining the overall effectiveness of the claims and rhetorical strategies Carr uses to appeal to the reader. I…

and Cohen's description of the world extends her claim. Schmidt and Cohen lean on the idea of being tethered in order for the world to reap the full benefits of technology in the future. But, they reverse Turkle’s assertion that being tethered is a bad thing and insist that being tethered is a positive thing. In order to weaken Andrew’s claim, Schmidt and Cohen use examples of how being tethered is beneficial. They describe that being tethered will allow you to connect with people all over the…

Middle Minoan and Late Minoan, and every section was again divided in A and B, early and late. Evans never intended to assign the pottery to a specific calendrical date. He correlated the findings with artifacts recovered in Egypt, finding obvious similarities and establishing a more specific date. This dating system presents some flaws, such as the inability to capture all the data; however, archaeologist still use this method by default. The careful conservation of artefacts is vital to…

Dakota McNany Gerontology Sophomore 3. Short Answer Questions (10 points each, 20 points total). Choose two out of four. It is expected the length of the text for each question is about 150-200 words, single spaced. D. Why is the Knossos Palace laid out in a rather irregular form? The largest Minoan site, The palace and labyrinth at Knossos, is also perhaps the most widely known Minoan site throughout the world. Directly under this site are the remains of Neolithic settlements. These…

Overall, the elaborate palace of Knossos causes historians to think that the people of Minoan civilization were happy and prosperous. 2. The Phoenician Alphabet- Around 950-750 BC the greeks adopted the Phoenician alphabet. This alphabet was different from all other ones because it used one letter to represent one sound instead of one letter to represent one syllable like in Linear A and B. This makes the language much easier to write, read, and…

different systems of writing. One of these systems is known as Linear B. These Linear B tablets were deciphered in the 1950s by Michael Ventris. Ventris, after decoding the tablets, realized that the Linear B writing is the earliest form of Greek. Like Linear A, Linear B is a form of writing where one symbol represents a syllable. Additionally, the date the Linear B tablets originate from is quite interesting. The date of Linear B tablets date from before the fall of Knossos Palace in 1375 BCE.…

b. c. d. e. Formulate the dual of this model. Define the dual variables and indicate their value. Determine the optimal ranges for c1 and c2. Determine the feasible ranges for q1 (pounds of brass) and q2 (labor hours). What is the maximum price the company would be willing to pay for additional labor hours, and how many hours could be purchased at that price? 43. The Southwest Foods Company produces two brands of chili—Razorback and Longhorn—from several ingredients, including chili beans…

different estimators that are unbiased and finding the lowest variance. He also defines consistency as generation of accurate estimates by taking advantage of extra data. The difference in interpretation of coefficient estimates is that multiple regression has the coefficients γX while simple regression does not Lower variance is an attractive property for an estimator because it lowers the probability of an estimate being far from the true value. The assumptions about the noise term which makes…

standard of validity and the element of assumptions were used to complete this assignment. Assumptions is a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof. Validity is the quality of being logically or factually sound. I assumed that the data would convey a linear regression because the y-values are increasing when the x-values are also increasing. However, I was wrong because I saw that the data in the graph was reaching a peak and slightly decreasing, so I knew that the…

is more attuned to thinking that the parts are not greater than its whole but a more linear understanding to the process. There are essentially three characteristics in Aristotle 's argument for the higher human good, and these three characteristic brake down to: is it best desirable because of its own self, is it not desirable for some other good, and the culmination of all other good is best and desirable for itself? What these three characteristic have in regards to human good is…
