The two passages describe about the rise of technology.

Passage 1 tells technology makes their lives outside of work

easier. On the other hand, passage 2 debates about that
technology is destroying their quality of life. Both passages
present valid points, passage 1, which is in favor of the rise of
technology is essential, makes the strongest evidences.
Passage 1 states that when technology first developed,
people disliked it because it would ruin their life. This is not
true, our today era is built up based on technology. The author
used logical reasoning to prove his point that technology is the
world most used system by stating that technology has opened
up a whole new world of educational possibilities for ourselves
and our children. Some people says that emails, tests, and
social media are addictive. That is absolutely not true
technology makes people easier to communicate with family,
friends, and relative when they did not keep in touch.
Moreover, passage 1 said a 2014 survey of middle school
students found that 83 percent said that lessons incorporating
technology, such as online games and research would make
them much more likely to be interested in a lesson. In this
modern age, everyone has mobile phones and everything they
want to know could search on this. In addition, the author of
the passage 1 shown by studies that a higher percentage of
Americans report that technology has brought them closer to
friends and family than they had before. Not only making
claims but also providing evidence. Due to all those logical
sense the readers can infer that technology would bring more
benefits than harmful effects.
However, the opponent of the passage 2 argued that
today’s technology is destroying their life because everyone is
spending their time by checking their emails and massages,
scrolling up and down their phones. Another argument in the
text is that they ended up multitasking. They provide that
multitasking is an efficient way and it also prevents in higher
numbers of work errors. Passage 2 also report that American
workers are using phones with their workplaces outside of the
duty time. According to those reasons readers can prefer
passage 2 is lacked of reasonable evidence.
To conclude, due to a factor of evidence, passage 1 is
better-supported and much more convincing than passage 2.
Though there is some evidence provided in passage 2, it is weak
and vague. Therefore, passage 1 is much more stronger than its
counterpart because it is more significantly better-supported.
