Behold...I've finally found my opinion piece.

It was a long time in coming, but I have finally found an opinion piece (I like). I found it on the website Slate, which has many great articles to choose from (maybe too many). I knew that I wanted an opinion piece that at least had something to do with technology. What I found was an article about Google's new chatting tool "Wave." It's titled "It's Just Fancy Talk," and it was written by Farhad Manjoo.

The rhetorical moves that seem to work on me, which are all present in this article, are: Logos, Pathos, Kairos, and Ethos (strangely all of the rhetorical strategies I know of). I am someone who likes to be informed and up to date on all the latest technology, so the kairos of an article is very important. Also, I like to know a lot, if not all the facts about new technological advances, and I like to obtain them from reputable sources. That takes care of Logos and Ethos. Finally, I like it when I can relate to what is being talked about in a piece of writing. The more Pathos the better, that goes for all of the rhetorical strategies really.
