Google

I think that media and the way we look up and view information has definitely changed. Now you can find almost anything on the Internet. I have also stopped reading books because you can find one online in just seconds. Everything has become conveniently easier. I don't believe that technology or Google has made us stupid it has just expanded the way we do things. I think that he feels this way because he and his associates didn't grow up with as much technology that we have now. So its understandable. I thought the research study that The university of London conducted on the study of online research habits was interesting to me because of what they found. They used the term new forms of "reading" which was intriguing to me because I think that we all use the same form of reading. Whether its skimming or reading something completely through and through we are still reading we just choose to take it in and interpret it the way we want to. I do agree that sometimes I don't read things all the way about a certain subject because we can just go online and find out more about with just a couple of clicks instead of just reading through a whole book or an article. We use the Internet to find information. Mostly little things so that we can better understand them. Unlike books the information is always being updated and changed. Sometimes I do wish that I could be able to sit and read a whole book and get a complete meaning. I think that our generation has become so lazy with all the technology that we have it ridiculous. I do wonder what it would be like if the Internet and computers was never invented we would probably have a lot more really smart people.
