Do include the details that “why” you have selected this topic (motivation); discuss in detail the origin, history, and impact of the selected technology, and the future trends. Along with the information gathered as part of the literature review and from your research, there should be a recognizable element of your original thoughts and views. Connect your ideas together with good transitions from paragraph to paragraph. Write clearly and proofread carefully. At the end of the conclusion section, and before the bibliography, please indicate the word count.
