An essay is a genre
Always, always have an argument
Don’t ask rhetorical questions (unless you plan on immediately answering them, but even then, don’t do it son)
Own your argument (“I argue...” not “I would like to argue...”)

An essay is a genre
Don’t try and build surprises in your structure
Don’t use PR or journalistic language
But do be lively, if you want

Style
Australian spellings: analogue, digitalisation, etc
Decades look like this: 1980s, ‘80s. Not 1980’s, 80’s
Don’t double space at the end of sentences unless you’re working on a typewriter

Research
Do you hate this article because you disagree, or because you aren’t interested?
If you can’t say it simply, you probably don’t understand it very well
Don’t let your quotes be the most interesting thing about your essay
Get jargon right

Don’t begin with a grand statement
Usually not actually anything to do with what you’re arguing
Also usually completely unprovable and meaningless

1) everything that’s already in the world when you’re born is just normal;
2) anything that gets invented between then and before you turn thirty is incredibly exciting and creative and with any luck you can make a career out of it;
3) anything that gets invented after you’re thirty is against the natural order of things and the beginning of the end of civilisation as we know it until it’s been around for about ten years when it gradually turns out to be alright really.
