Time Magazine article peer review

The time article is very shortly summarized, more information may be necessary in order to understand her opposition with the article. The essay focuses more on her objections with the internet rather without thoroughly describing why “you” is the person of the year, and how that applies to the internet. She gives a statement about the article but fails to acknowledge why now the internet has become so important, even though it was invented over sixty years ago. It is necessary to discuss more of the technological advances that allow people to unite and share more of themselves. The summary is very broad but all the ideas represented are original and portray the essence of the Time article. The summary may be more helpful if you were previously familiar with the article.
Her point of disagreement is clearly stated in the article. The article points out that the reason why you are the person of the year is because of Web 2.0 people can come together and share a part of you with other people, and maybe even help others. Lev Grossman seems to be aggrandizing the internet and Yael seems to believe that the internet has its flaws. As stated in the last line of the opening paragraph “Examining information on Internet addiction leads one to question this idea, as the negativity of the Internet may outweigh the positive.” The time person of the year presented a band wagon effect, the article held under assumption that the internet is universally beneficial.
It seems that Yael argued very well a basic argument against the flaws of over use of the internet. It was more of a general argument against the essence of the Time article, rather than taking issue with a specific point. Although by the end of the paper her argument against the flaws of the internet were very nicely summed up and presented. She gave good proof as to the flaws of the internet and tackled her thesis in an individual well thought out way. I believe that her evidence was well organized and she gave examples for all different types of people she did not just think about herself.
