Over the years, people, usually teachers, have tried to figure out the best way to teach. Many agree that by using technology, students will gain more knowledge and concentrate more in class. Additionally, many say that since the invention of computers in 1945 and as technology has advanced since then, students, mostly teenagers, have lost focus and knowledge of their abilities. An expert article by Marie Glenn, "How Technology Will Shape Learning" cleverly includes rhetorical devices and strategies such as the use of logos, ethos, expert testimony, humor and evaluation techniques to strongly promote its positive conception of the use of technology in the classroom. In contrast, Kentaro Toyama's article, "There Are No Technology Shortcuts to Good Education," uses pathos, diction, expert testimony, and his personal observation to strongly oppose the theory that technology helps education.
