Note that this is to be a critical analysis with research, and not a diary, personal opinions are elicited, but confessional meanderings are not.

You should use outside research (a minimum of 10 sources) to examine and analyze the relevant points of the text.

Using the lecture notes to aid you, please expand on the ideas of the text by looking into the future of our industry and predicting its impact on our society.
