Which of Beck's Leads is the Best?

Descriptive:

1)      The bell rings and school lets out. The typical daily hustle and bustle of children hurrying to get home ensues. Accompanying it is the mindless chatter of hundreds of children discussing homework, Facebook and parties soon to follow during the upcoming weekend. Slowly the crowds disperse as one by one, the kids are picked up or bussed off to their respective houses. When they get home though, a consistent daily routine begins. A soda is opened, a snack is made, a computer is booted up, and the rest of the night is filled with multimedia entertainment, instant messaging and word processors, but it is not only children that make up the 2 billion internet and technology users in the world.

Startling Statement:

2)      In 2010, people around the world sent an average of 107 trillion emails. The prominence of technology is slowly growing, but so is our dependence on it. Our children know it’s becoming a problem, but very little has been done. Our mental capacities are being slowed by it, yet no one is bold enough to act. It’s time to step up to the plate.

Contrast and Compare:

3)      2 centuries ago, the prominence of technology was minimal. People were self sufficient; smart enough to use their natural surroundings in order to accomplish their goals; but now technology is everywhere. We need technology to eat, to travel, to live. Our self-dependency is nearly gone, and if our technology were to stop working, life would stop with it.
