The topic of
my research paper is the ecstasy and agony of technology. What I specifically
built my paper upon is the promise of Apple products versus the realities of
factory labor used to create them. The title of my first source is “The Wizard
Of Awe (Cover Story)” by Jason Kirby. The name of the journal it came from is
called Canadian Business which is located under the database of Academic Search
Complete. This source gives information about Steve Jobs, owner of the Apple
Company and how he uses his ability to wow people in the launch of his
products. Also it provides information and evidence on his attitude towards
making sells and how successful he’s been in the process of launching new
products. The spin that’s put on this paper is that information is giving about
how successful Apple is in its endeavors but at the same time it offers the
opinions of others and what they think of Apple. This information helped guide
me towards arguing that with all the success that Jobs has stumbled upon he is
wrong for not knowing the conditions and struggles endured to make his
products.
In my second source called, “A World Without Apple?” by Sacha
Segan and this is out of PC Magazine. This source can be found in the Academic
Search Complete database as well. The just of this source is basically giving
information about how South Korea has no affiliation with the Apple Company.
They live without having any Apple products over there and the article just
gives example of how it is not hard to live without certain things because
things are not much better than what they seem to be. This article helped me
make the argument that affect of Apple on people is that they become subject to
the illusions created by Apple; turning people into mindless zombies that rely
on Apple for everything.
