Here is just an idea of what I came up with for an introduction.


Introduction

     Communication, in relation to technology and gender, has changed drastically over the past decade(s) and even just short years. People communicate over email, phone call, and of course through text messaging. The way we communicate effects the way someone on the other end relays emotion. Through all the implementations and modifications through technology and communication, researchers have studied in the past how men and women come across communication through technology. However, researchers such as Susan Herring, have not viewed the way emotions are relayed presently. In particular men felt very strongly about people writing too much on forums over the internet in the past, while women were very nice and calm about it. Have times changed? This particular research studies the similarities that I have researched, but the overall outcomes are different. Through a strict analysis of the research I conducted, I will be able to compare how modern gender communication is similar to the way it was in the (add year the research was conducted), yet show the differences that men and women communicate and most importantly relay emotions in this modern day.

Questions:

• Should I expand more on the research in this introduction, or keep it brief?
• Should I expand more on my data?
