some thoughts about "Is Google Making Us Stupid?"
Before I read the article, I started to realize that how internet technologies play a huge role in our daily life. Two things have affected my perceptions. First of all, I changed my cell phone plan with monthly text message service. When I spreaded the news to all my friends, unbelievably, my cell phone just keeps ringing to notify me that I get a message every a few minutes. I am no longer a girl who hates texting all the time any more. The other thing is about schoolwork, I just can not believe people rely on the internet techonologies so much. Basiclly, people do everything with it. Sometimes, I ask myself that what if all the computers are attacked by hackers or virus all over the world, are people going to be panic all the time? or suddenly feel that they don't know how to find a book in the library mannually, or how to seek a specific location by looking at a paper map except google it online?Maybe they will feel it is the end of the world.

ReplyDeleteHey xiaoxiao--
ReplyDeleteYou are right; these are some important issues to consider. Some say people do not need to learn the multiplication table--that's what calculators are for. But do we use the extra time that we get from using calculators to do useful things or do we spend it just checking videos on YouTube? Maybe some things should be hard.
