Is Google Making Us Stupid? Some may argue yes and others no. Scientific studies show a difference in the human brain from computers. Some results didn't even need deep scientific studies to show the results. For example,one man found that his friend's style of writing changed after the friend took on writing with the new typwriter. I believe that google is not what is making us stupid, it is the natural human tendency of taking short cuts. When one is typing, it takes them so much less time to get something on the page than when one is writing by hand. After we got used to getting work done fast, we started losing our vocabulary and other things just so we could get our job done faster. The article very deeply discusses this. I disagger with that notation. I believe we are making us stupid, not the internet.

Tom- remember to begin your response with a clear topic sentence indicating what matters, why it matters, title and author. You also need to hyperlink to the original source. Also, connect your response to you personally, to education, and to the world around us. Good clear concluding sentence.

ReplyDeletegood posture, I liked the way that unlike the other presentations you looked you aduince in the eye and looked like you had done it before. Long presentation next time try and shorten your notes. Good presentation next time slow down!

ReplyDeleteYou dont seem nervous, and you seem prepared. It looks like you have practiced. Way to connect with the story and bring it to the presentation. Way to connect with what matters to world, education, and education. Good question.

ReplyDeleteYou should slow down so you can speak more clearly next time.
Tom you had a great presentation and your question actually made sence.
ReplyDeleteHold on to your paper! No, it was a great speech. You weren't nervous, you had practiced I'm sure, and your question had people talking. Just remember to consider what others are saying because you didn't seem to care when Mrs. Smith had another point of view.
