In particular, your writing should work to address the following question: How concerned should families be about this emerging smart technology, especially considering that it will likely get smarter, be more and more frictionless and embedded in all that we do, and even one day soon, may look and feel more “human” and less machine-like? If we cannot be there emotionally for each other as these writers tend to suggest, should we entrust our and our kids’ emotional lives to a machine? (talk about how technology isn’t good for families)• An introduction that smartly introduces the topic and that smoothly leads into your thesis.
