Question

your friend continues to analyze the article for clarity regarding the issue of cell phones. you read the following excerpt:
ow, we live in the golden age of technology. we can document each slice of french toast we eat at brunch, share each workout we complete, and post pictures of our daily yoga sessions with the simple caption namaste. what says inner peace like a selfie next to a yoga mat? we can be accessible to all people at all times... unless, of course, the phone rings and someone actually wants to speak to you. oh, the horror! we can even end relationships with a mere text message and a sad face emoji. what a time to be alive!\ how does the imagery in this excerpt contribute to the development of your argument? it highlights the absurdity of documenting daily life online but refusing to have personal interactions with others. it suggests that posting selfies while at yoga class can influence others to practice self-care. it emphasizes the importance of eating breakfast every day. it reiterates the necessity of having social media access so that one doesnt miss important events in the lives of family and friends.

Explanation:

The text uses vivid imagery like documenting every aspect of life (French toast, yoga sessions) but then shows the absurdity of being accessible online yet avoiding real - life interaction (phone call horror, ending relationships via text). It's a contrast between online documentation and lack of personal interaction.

Answer:

It highlights the absurdity of documenting daily life online but refusing to have personal interactions with others.
