An extract from the teaching resource:
Now, you are going to plan your own writing in response to the same question:
‘Far from making lives easier, modern technology isolates and divides us.’
Write an article or a speech for a debate in which you express your views on this subject with reference to one modern invention (not self-service checkouts!).
You have one minute to discuss a modern invention you could choose instead: Internet? Snapchat? Smartphones?
