On the other hand, Wortham’s article argues about how virtual communication found through apps can be just as sentimental as physical communication due to all the advances in technology. She too focuses on the research done by others especially the creators of these apps as well as her own opinions that she gained by actually trying out a few of the apps. She intends to reach out to people who are also avid users of virtual communication. Although both articles have similar consistencies in their credibility and logical appeal, Wortham’s overuse of an emotional appeal causes Cullington’s argument to be more effective. In Michaela Cullington’s “Does Texting Affect Writing?” the author effectively establishes credibility and logic that overpowers her small use of emotions. Cullington’s credibility comes into play when her audience is given the information through a footnote that she is a student writing this article (791). This gives the author every right to speak on the topic at hand
