Joey,
ReplyDeleteFor a specialized audience like the readers of young scholars in writing, you need to situate your paper in an academic conversation. This is currently working in a public conversation, and I notice that you don't have any credible scholarly peer reviewed sources in your bibliography, just magazines, blogs, and newspapers. More than half of your sources need to be scholarly. The most useful conversation would be that raised by Baron: the idea that technological change changes writing.
