Internet Generation leave parents behind
Polly Curtis argues that the, “Internet Generation has left parents behind”. She informs us about how children these days spend six hours a day in front of the screen and how they have become so influenced by the media. She exaggerates on how young people spend their lives in front of the television without giving any attention to their parents.
To begin her argument, she uses, “Internet Generation leave parents behind” as her headline. She uses a metaphor which is very effective. This is because she wanted to show us how much devotion children have given to the internet. It draws attention to the readers and makes people think and want to know more. If she were to use a straight forward headline, it wouldn’t be appealing to the readers.
