Op-ed

This artice talks about Steve Jobs, co-founder of the Apple company, and how our attention spans have been changed. The author wants to persue its readers that it is not Steve Jobs's fault for this. In fact, our brains naturally deteriorate before the age of 40. I think it is a good persuasion article because the author uses facts to back up her point including talking about the findings of psychologists at the University of Toronto. It seems very credible. She also relates it to her own life, which in turn the readers can relate to their own lives as well. I like how the article starts off as a personal story and progresses into her argument. It makes it very affective.
