It’s rare that we find ours actually and going to the library and actually research something, that doesn’t happen in today’s world instead we pullout our phones and google something. Google probably our generation favorite invention but one has to question is it making us stupid? With technology constantly improving people are finding themselves to be relying on their devices more for what they are able to do. Cell phones from a few years ago., “as technology advances, is it slowing us down and making us stupid?” In some cases technology is stopping or slowing our ability to learn. For example, when we were younger we all had to make index cards of the times table and the teacher always told we to write it out rather than buying the ones with the information already because the process is what made us learn and the same thing with google at our fingertips we aren’t going through any process.
With the internet having an extensive amount of resource, we find it easier to search for information rather than channeling our memories for the information that we have retained before. We have become lazy and would rather take the easy route to finding information instead using our brain. It may not affect our generation buut future generations that wwill be born into this kind of lifestyle may not be as productive especially when it comes to research.
When the internet was first introduced and most computers were connect to dialup, people had more of patience to wait for the computer to load each page. But as the internet advances and it’s speed has become so faster, people cannot be patient because they have become so accustomed to everything being extremely fast. I am also guilty of this because I get very impatient when I used the internet on my phone and the wireless connection is weak and the things that I am searching takes longer to upload. Technology has made it easier to do things like network and opening many more opportunities. Technology has been used to advance the medical field which has made medicine more efficient and has also made easier and fast for people to communicate with each other. Use of the Internet has made jobs easier and oversimplified tasks that would take an enormous amount of time before. The Internet has become a great tool for avoiding the hassles of the bank, offering the chance to make the transactions quickly and safely. It also offers a powerful source for shopping and the easiness of having your products delivered straight to your house, should you decide you do not want to go out. Using the internet/ Google the proper way can be very convenient to all.
Dumb and Google go hand in hand
