Inhibiting students on campus: BYU internet blocker
I am sure this is an issue that concerns more people than just me; in this generation, you must not only be literate in reading, but also literate in computer technology. Computer technology has been integrated into our society, and is now a major source of income for the economy; it is no wonder why people everywhere have become experts at computers. This computer knowledge is not limited to programs and software, but includes being able to bridle and navigate the internet. Students at BYU cannot access certain websites because of an internet filter, limiting them to their information resources. Certainly there are some who never find the BYU blocker a problem when doing research, but that does not mean it will not affect them. The internet’s firewall goes beyond students and also affects faculty: Professors trying to find valuable videos, which provide a visual aspect to their lecture, cannot show students because the filter has blocked the website Youtube.com.

Your title is good but not as catchy as I think you could do. I feel that kairos is established but you could of established your ethos better by personal experience.
I think that you could have a compelling argument, but just like the other poster said, add a nicer personal story about when you actually could not do an assignment or something that actually mattered, not just waiting your time watching music videos and people do stupid things, because I think that most people believe that there is nothing useful to be had on YouTube.
