The author begins her argument by utilizing statistics and credible sources to build a sense of authority that the reader can easily recognize and accept. Eliana uses statistics "27% of them use tablets......by late 2014," to inform her subsequent claim that this generation of American children and teenagers is the tech savviest in history. Furthermore, she provides evidence from authoritative sources, MIT, to add legitimacy to her claim that children who are more engaged in learning by doing themselves will retain the memory 900% more as opposed to those who only read. These presentation of facts and evidence corroborates the claim that the children who are more exposed to technology in learning can actually benefit from using it.
