Journal 9

I do agree with the statement that the internet is changing us, but I am not sold on if its for the better or worse. I will admit that after a few paragraphs I started to skim until I came to the sentence about individuals skimming articles and than I tried to read the rest of it without skimming and I found this a bit difficult to do. I do think that the internet is a great invention, and I sort of agree that the way we think and read is changing. I do not if thats from google or just because times are changing, the world and technology are always going to be constantly changing, so we will be too. We change and adapt to the technology that changes and adapts. I think google, or the internet can benefit and harm us. It benefits us because research that used to take hours to conduct, now takes seconds on the internet, but on the flip side it does make it harder to listen to a long lecture or simply wait in line, or read a lengthy article because we are so used to get our answer, now. We do not want to wait for the point of a lecture, or the point of an article, we as readers want everything strait to the point. Everything needs to be straight to the point. So, I guess the question becomes if there are these "negative affects" from google or the internet what and how much are the effecting and does this outweigh the positives that the internet and google provides. I can not agree with him fully or disagree with him fully because I see both sides of the argument.
