Both Writers conveyed different approaches when writing their stories. Feross Aboukhadiejeh's story,"How I Learned To Program Computers", had a very light tone to it. It started out with an easy overview to show what the topic was about and than delved into a chronological life story growing up creating websites. The style was easy to follow and was able to grab a large audience due to it being a quick read with amusing anecdotes about having some boyhood bravery and solid work ethic was a recipe for success in the computer world. His passion showed through his lightheartedness and it was enjoyable. I think this would be an easy approach to emulate. Nice, easy and fun with just enough to keep people occupied and inspired.
In "How To Live Google Free" by Joshua J. Romero is a more detailed account on his amuses of trying to rid life of Google. After realizing how much his life includes one company and how legally they can use all your information was a real shock to Romero. He then decides to quit. He uses a lot of tables of new applications he found and shows step by step how someone can go down the same path if they desire. This is great way to pull a person in and show them the way your experience can be accomplished with success.Luckily his topic is a very common trait we all have in the digital word which means anybody can be inspired to take his approach. It would be great to use a topic and be able to plan a line by line way to mentor readers.
good observations on style, use of graphics, and approaches in the essays!
