Criticism of technology

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have always been interested in technology but recently I have developed an interest in exploring the negatives that could arise from technology. From the name, it seemed like an article that addressed that.

Evaluate the article
I think whoever wrote the lead for this article did a good job. It is concise and straight to the point. It gives the reader a clear idea of what is being addressed in the article. However the content feels a little disappointing because it does not really follow the lead of the article. It almost feels like it was copied from a completely different article. There's definitely some connection to the point but overall does not tell us more about the topic. The tone and balance of the article is also not Wikipedia-standard. There is obviously a lot of bias from the writer but no real attempt to even make a solid argument. It's clear that the article was meant for a specific audience. The writer also has his references and sources all over the place. They do not really reference anything in the article but somehow still have a bunch of sources that were not even used. Some of the links do not even work. I also worry about the fact that some of the sources cited were articles from over 20 years ago. Surely, some of the information from these articles have to be outdated. The grammar used in this article was okay but the overall quality and structure were subpar. I had to read thrice to understand how the content in the second paragraph was even relevant.

Looking over the talk pages, it seems like a lot of people agree with what I have here. In general, the article needs a lot of work. The writer needs to write all his points about this topic down and start looking at how those ideas can come together effectively to educate the public without any bias. However, I do think the lead is really good.
