You can say that technologies are everywhere and can take over the world, because they are far improved from previous generations. Recently, Google announced a new wireless device, which can be used to play videos, music, and other cool features from laptop or Smartphone directly to the digital TV. Although often times, one company makes the device with a similar feature or better design, sort of imitating the device that already had been sold. This tiny TV receiver is handy in meetings and because it is a portable size, unlike the Apple TV where it needs many wires.

I agree with the author about its comfortable and variety of features that offer in this small device. The author mentioned about several other ways on how this device works, so it provides a reader a simpler way to learn to use this device. Although, in the article, there isn't a link or video about how to use or connect this device, I think that the author’s words were suffice. However, I found it unnecessary about giving a review of this device because in the video, it only mentioned the benefits about this device instead of actually giving instruction on how to install this device. Also, I liked how author compared other products to this device, giving more essence about which device to choose from.


I think the author gave more positive aspect about this device compared to others, in order to disclose how handy this device can be. As I finished reading this article, I noticed that I wanted to get this device. Therefore, I also think that the author had a strong persuasive writing towards the readers.

  1. With our technology constantly progressing it's quite interesting to see that innovators are still able to come up with original devices. Your analyzation of the way the article was written was well done. You have a few grammar errors here and there, but overall you did a good job. To strengthen your argument/commentary you might want to add who were specific competitors of this device? or what is the main feature of this particular device that makes it stand out above other previous ones?

  2. Hi Jason!
    This new Google Chromecast does sound very handy.
    In your second and last paragraph, you used the word 'device' many times, almost one in every sentence. You should try using other words or just rearrange the sentences altogether so that you would not have to use that word.
    I like how you stated at the end that you felt the author's article persuaded you. It's good to evaluate the efficiency of the author's purpose in the article.
