Gooogle making us stupid
The author seems to
believe strongly that the Internet is creating lapses in the way we think. It
makes us lose focus merely because of the fact that it’s readily available. The
information that the Internet provides is virtually limitless in that people
can add junk everyday.
I don’t see the Internet
as a problem like Nicholas Carr does in the reading aspects. It may create
problems in our reading process, but the information comes fast reducing hours
of research. The Internet is like a bike in that it gets you where you want to
go faster. I do agree it creates distractions because of the countless amount
of information provided which obstructs your train of thought.
The Internet is shaping our society today by
giving us a variety of things to do. You can do a lot of things on the Internet
from research to television. It makes communication easier as well. In a way, I
think the Internet isn’t too harmful so long as people don’t get too drawn in
to all the information provided.
I liked this article
overall because of the way he presented the argument. He made anecdotes and took
some quotes to make his article clear. It was funny cause I found myself doing
the same things he was mentioning like skimming through the article to get the
gist instead of thoroughly reading it. I actually think this article contains
some things that I might hit in my social identity paper.
