  1. I think the Frieds topic is engaging from the beginning because of how relatable it is. He starts off his talk by posing a problem: why people can’t seem to get work done at work. He then discuses a question : where do you need to go when you need to get something done? These two statements caused me to think and reflect about my own personal experiences which continued to keep me focused. He then argues that this is because people are trading in a workday for \u201cwork moments\u201d. I think it is interesting how he builds his argument by walking us through a \u201ctypical workday\u201d that is filled with distractions and commitments that result in unproductivity. He also has a funny and sarcastic tone when he talks about manager and meetings which furthers his argument about how disruptive they \u00a0both are. He proposes suggestions for offices to change, such as silence for more efficient workdays. By the end of this video, I was very supportive of his ideas because his arguments were very logical, organized, and personable.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    After watching Heffernan TED talk, I was torn between claiming her evidence to be anecdotal (stories with a point) or analogical (comparison to different things) (maybe it is both or neither). Heffernan walks us through multiple stories (touching upon how predicting epidemics as well as forecasting wildfires is unrealistic) with the same themes: technology is unreliable, the world is unpredictable. She then argues that society is growing dependent on technology. She compares different instances where we utilize technology too much, that we are lacking somewhere else where it is more important. She lists real life examples (no sources, no numbers), but it is compelling and logical. For example, she discusses how the more time we use parenting apps, the less we know about our kids and how the more time we spend with people that we are predicted and programmed to like, the less we can connect with people who are different from ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    She does a great job tying very different stories together with the same underlying themes and ideas. I think she has a great ability to make connections and \u201cpoints\u201d which is an effective way to engage viewers. The organization and  structure of her arguments caused me to accept and understand everything she said without sources or data. I also think she is so persuasive because of her confidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
