For your cause and effect essay, you can try researching “addiction to technology” or “impact of technology on…”  It may give you places to start researching the topic.  Your first two pages are due for editing (first draft) at the end of Week 4.

Addiction to technology is now included in a clinical diagnosis. People can get treatment for this addiction; this was unheard of twenty years ago. Addictions of any kind are destructive to relationships; People lose marriages and relationships with family members due to addictions (gambling, alcohol, pornography, drugs).
