Russell Baker’s “A Plot Against People” argue against the use and trust of technological devices and inanimate objects. For Baker to make this argument, he uses a number of different literary devices and figurative language to do so. Personification and hyperbole are 2 examples of figurative language elements that were used in his article. Therefore, is Baker successful in using Personification and Hyperbole to argue for why technology is a disadvantage to modern day society?
