1.
Present
tense is used most, even though the paper is based off of an event that
happened in the past, because it is mostly discussing the effects of it and how
it affects the present to relate more to the audience.
2.
By
using the present tense, it commands immediacy of the subject. It also engages
the audience more as the subject is given more importance due to the currency
of the event.
3.
Present,
past, and future tenses were used in the piece. In the beginning, more past
tense verbs were used to describe the event when it first happened. As the
piece moves along, it transitions smoothly to the present to show the affects
that occur because of the event and some future is also mixed in to compare the
effects of this present and evolving technology on more advancements to come in
the future.
