I found Jamais Cascio’s article, “Get Smarter,” the most compelling. The way Cascio compares the growth and progression of human minds grabs hold of the reader’s attention. The logos, or content, is laid out well and has detailed information regarding the topic. The only fault with the logos is the poor organization of the information. Cascio does a great job with reaching his audience. He believes that the human mind is adapting to their surroundings by becoming more knowledgeable with new technological advancements. He strikes fear into the reader when he sets the stage of combatting with adaption. Cascio wants us to see how imperative it is to adapt with the technology around us. Cascio’s ethos, or credibility, is strengthened by the amount of quotes he uses from other credible sources throughout the article. The article is effective with making the reader see his purpose, and the use of the rhetorical triangle helps make the article more understandable to all readers.
