Name of text- The future of energy: Earth, Wind, and Water

Text type- technology-magazine article
Energy has always been an important aspect in our life, but as technology develops we can learn in different way to make energy more eco-friendly and easily useable. The article explains our challenges with all three resources (water, wind and earth) and explains a new technology that can be used for each resource. The main purpose for this article is to inform people about how we can and how politicians are trying to invest into better energy resources. The article also consists of a lot of real facts which can help people who are interested in the future of resources and technology builds up a better understanding.
The audience for this text is for people that are mainly interested in the advancing of technology for the earth, and people who work in this branch of components. The layout consists of 3 main parts which are each for earth, wind and water, and each different part has 2 sections in it with the challenges and “the new energy economy”. These also include charts and images which I find helpful to the reader to stay focused since it is a hard topic to read through.
The linguistic register is rather formal, including professional words used in these types of jobs; it is not as persuasive more indicating facts and figures. Since the article is rather formal you can notice the seriousness in the article since it is very important topic. The article is very effective because it has examples of real life challenges and new energy’s that can be used. It is not like a children’s magazine which has jokes and humors information.
