How Technologically Advanced am I?
When it comes down to it i feel as though i am technologically adept but not quite technically advanced. I can get things done when i need to get things done. I rarely find myself setting out to learn newer things technologically unless somehow that new advancement integrates itself into my life as an eventual necessity. I have the ability to figure things out as i go, so even if there were some obstacle, in terms of not knowing how to properly utilize a certain technology, i dont believe it would be too strenuous for me to figure it out.

Analysis of Article
My article, titled, "Digital Literacy. Human flourishing and education in a knowledge society", by Megan Poore, focuses on the her opinion of how human society has an urgent need to maximize its ability to keep up with the shifts in new technological advancements, in terms of creating and achieving a collective intelligence for all to benefit from. Megan Poore argues about the necessity for both students and teachers to maintain proper understanding and mastery of the digital capability we have. Her main emphasis is focused more towards school leaders in an attempt to convince them that teachers need to spend more time incorporating digital literacy into school work to better prepare for the digital revolution at hand.
Based from the text of Lunsford's "Everything's an Argument", we can see that Poore's article is an argument to convince. More discretely, it is an argument about the future. As Lunsford states, this type of argument is a deliberative argument. The article focuses on what should happen in the future based on educated theories and statistics that would seem to positively effect the increase in human advancement given that we achieve a superior knowledge of digital literacy.
