Quoting vs. Paraphrasing.

1. “Technology can be our best friend, and technology can also be the biggest party
pooper of our lives. It interrupts our own story, interrupts our ability to have a
thought or a daydream, to imagine something wonderful, because we're too busy
bridging the walk from the cafeteria back to the office on the cell phone.”—Steven
Spielberg

2. “If you make customers unhappy in the physical world, they might each tell 6
friends. If you make customers unhappy on the Internet, they can each tell 6,000
friends.”—Jeff Bezos

3. “Social networks are here to stay, and they're constantly evolving. Globally, more
than 2.8 billion people — or 37% of the world's population — use social media, but
the way those users interact with each other, and the platforms they adopt, vary
widely.”

Gallagher, Kevin. “The Social Media Demographics Report: Differences in age, gender, and income at the
top platforms.” Business Insider. 4 Aug. 2017. http://www.businessinsider.com/the-social-media-

4. “In a recent survey, 41% of millennials still use Facebook every day; however,
Facebook was found to be more popular with non-millennials. Every other
measured social media platform (YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, Twitter
and LinkedIn) was found to be more popular with millennials than non-
millennials.”

5. “A group of friends checking their smartphones while hanging out. Almost everyone
on the subway with their eyes fixed on their gadget’s screens. A couple laying
together in bed with their iPhones in their hands. People with their devices up in the
air taking pictures of a concert. And I could go on. Technology, and especially
smartphones, is ruining society, making us disconnected from others, interacting
with our devices instead of with each other. Except, f*ck that.”

showed.”

7. “It is time to reframe the debate over bullying. It is not just "mean girls" or "boys
being boys." It is the aggressive emotional abuse of a child, and we must all stand
against it. Lives depend on it.”

suffering years of cyberbullying and online abuse.”
