Final Traditional Paper Outline

I prefer to do a traditional paper to the media project for my final. My topic of choice is “Is technology making us more or less human? Or is there no impact?” I take my thesis statement to be “Technology is not dehumanizing. It is what makes us human.” Therefore, technology has made us more human. I intend to start off by carrying out a literature review on earlier research works carried out by Scholarly authorities in this topic. I intend to develop a personal standpoint on my thesis, in trying to justify that technology has more relevance in how we carry out our human affairs, and rather that it is not isolating us from each other. I intend to answer my thesis question by carrying out research about known effects of technology on humanity, then form my conclusion based on the findings. Finally, I intend to write about future prospects of technology, and their relevance on humanity, in the times ahead. The paper shall follow the following outline:
