Journal 10

I agree with everything that this article is reflecting upon. In fact I would even take the topic to a new level in that google/internet is not only changing the way we think, but it's changing the way we engage and act socially. Since the internet is a gigantic source of information, we no longer are required to socially interact to obtain information. Now, we can virtually obtain all information about anything through the internet in a small amount of time. When asking someone to go on a date, all the joy of personal engagement is gone when a 2-d text comes through asking the very same. All in all, I agree with the article in that google is in fact making us dumb, for we no longer need to seek adults knowledge and textbooks and instead have to seek out information through the internet.
