Stupid Google or Google Stupid?

This article was not very hard to understand; the author was making a point which many people have made throughout the years which is as technology improves or excels, we as humans regress to a more primitive state. All of the great philosophers or thinkers, from the ancient Greeks to the modern theorists of today, have a skeptical outlook on technology and its advancements in our world. People as a whole either wish to improve themselves to a point of unrealistic perfection or do not know enough about the things they tamper with just to make life as easy as possible. Either way, the reasoning behind this is disconcerting. All of the futuristic books most people read in high school like Ayn Rand's Anthem, George Orwell's 1984, Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World warn us of things that are bound to happen once we have become too dependent upon those things we create yet we still have people in the world, like the creators of Google, who wish to ignore these prophetic warnings in order to create artificial intelligence to supplement or replace our actual intelligence. It seems like we are or have been entering an age similar to that of Sodom and Gomorrah, where we become so driven by vice - finding the easy way out through quick answers and unnecessary consumerism from ridiculous advertisements - that eventually we will be wiped out not necessarily by God but by the machines we have created to be more powerful and greater than ourselves thus trying to put these machines in place of God.
