Open Letter Proposal:
Due to the emergence of technology and social media, people today have immensely more access to information than ever before. For my open letter project, I plan to discuss the impact of over-consumption of information on cognition and well being. It will mainly be anecdotal, and will discuss long term concerns for individuals and societies.
The intended audience will be broad from ages 12-30: the the age group which I believe is being transformed the most by the massive influx of information.
I wish to inform my audience of potential dangers of massive information consumption and how they can harness technology in a beneficial way.
The persona I would like to identify with would be a college student. Though that title does not have much authority, I feel that establishing myself on the same level as my intended peers will more easily create empathy.

I think this is a great topic to dive into. The world of the internet is massive and there are a lot of potential threats out there. Obviously, I use the internet every day so I am interested to see if there is substantial harm. I like how you are taking the persona of a college student to put everyone on the same basis and a college student might have more to say given how exposed we are to the internet.

Hey Luke!
This idea is super fascinating and interesting. I think it will probably be super different from everybody else’s open letter and that is awesome. I think this topic is very important for kids who are starting to use technology. I was only wondering, who you are going to write to since it has to be someone influential in your life?
