Answer

Brief Explanations:

For the first question:

  • The introduction of an essay is not for summarizing body paragraphs (that's a conclusion - like task in some cases but not introduction's main job), not for listing every example (examples come in body), and not for restating conclusion (conclusion is restated in conclusion). Its main job is to set the stage - provide background, focus, and lead - in to thesis. For the second question:
  • "Technology has always existed since the beginning of time" is too vague. "Technology is important" and "People like new inventions" lack the past - present context. "From the first microchips of the 1970s to today's quantum processors, innovation has reshaped daily life" clearly gives a past (1970s microchips) - present (quantum processors) context for a technology essay.

Answer:

  1. To provide background, focus, and a lead - in toward the thesis
  2. "From the first microchips of the 1970s to today's quantum processors, innovation has reshaped daily life"
