Main Argument His two main arguments in this TED talks are: 1) He doesn't use social media and he's actually quite okay. 2) You'd be better off without social media as well. Supporting Claims Dr. Newport makes the following four (4) claims to support his main argument. 1) Social media is not a fundamental technology a) It's more about entertainment and it is designed to be addictive. 2) Social media is not vital to your professional success. a) The market values innovation and the ability to work on and solve big challenges. b) Demonstrating advanced capabilities in using social media is not valued by the market. 3) Social media is likely addictive, and addictions are not good for you. a) Social media use has been linked to higher rates of anxiety and depression, especially on college campuses. 4) You can Detox from social media. a) It's not easy, it's hard at first, but after you've put your devices away for a couple of weeks, you'll feel better and become more productive. On the face of it, Dr. Newport makes a compelling argument that is supported by what seem to be reasonable claims. 1) However, as we have learned in COM203, never take anything at face value. 2) Therefore, you need to undertake some research to validate his daims and come to your own conclusions as to whether or not his claims support his main argument.
