USA Today When it comes to technology we all love to hear about the latest new phones, ipods, and t.vs that are out there. Technology also has its ups and downs just as well though as everything else. In the blog entry titled Technology Live the intended audience is towards commuters who are always dashing through the busy streets of city's.A particular scooter named Scoot is a scooter that involves using the technology of your cell phone. You use an app on your iPhone to reserve a scooter in a particular area and then use your cell phone as a key to the scooter. The author argues that this would be a great opportunity for technology to greatly improve and for other people to be more motivated into making inventions such as the Scoot for people to use in their every day lives. Their claim is that it will make it much quicker for people to get around since they can just reserve the scooter and it will be available for them to use when they need to, they also claim to say that it would be a price of $5 for an hour and discounts will be made for those who use it on a regularly basis. They try and convince people by saying that people will get a discount since everybody loves to get discounts on things. Their evidence to this claim that it will work sufficiently is that "it is a hybrid of three new but proven technologies: Chinese electric motorbikes (tens of millions are on the road, growing by over 10 million per year); European bike sharing (hundreds of cities have deployed such systems in recent years); and real-time, mobile transportation services (e.g. Get Around, Uber)". Their logic is if they give people a couple numbers of other people who are using a technology similar to the Scoot then they will be easily persuaded into this new idea and invention.

I don't really agree with this argument as much since not everybody has the iPhone and some people have other models and types of cell phones. This invention would not really be an invention that everybody could experience since in order to reserve and actually use the Scoot scooter you must purchase the iPhone. I believe this isn't really a technology for improving the way that people move around in the busy streets but a way for the iPhone company's to make more business and cell more phones. If people do like the idea of the scoot scooter they will have to go and buy an iPhone in order to experience this new kind of technology which wouldn't be fair to the other people who don't have these phones. A good technology improvement would be something that would better things for people and make it easier for them not more costly as in having to go buy a new phone in order to be updated with everybody else. If you pay attention to this blog closely it can actually be looked at as an add for people to go and buy an iPhone since technologies are starting to revolve around them and the will be occurring very soon.
