Guys, you know me, you know that there isn’t a device that I can resist. New technology! Yippee! Bring it on. But when I heard that they are soon going to bring cell-phone service to the subway tunnels I gasped. (Okay, maybe it wasn’t a gasp, but it sure was a sigh!) Are you really going to unleash at least twenty-five cell-phone calls in a crowded train at rush hour? Why can’t people just make their calls on the subway platform before they get on the train? This is one case where just because we can do it, does it really need to be done?

Respuesta :

The correct answer is: to persuade.

The author of this blog post talks about how he feels repelled by the idea of adding cellphone service in the subway, since he believes that is unnecessary to do so as it would deeply disturb an already uncomfortable way of traveling. Using a funny tone and engaging with the readers, he tries to persuade them into taking his side too.
