"Is Google Making Us Stupid?" Article Review

    Our minds and our brains, can be very easy to manipulate and confuse. The idea of advertisements along side important articles about famous politicians, the controversy between what is deep thinking and what is deep reading, and how we our brains adapt to this new way of thinking/learning is imperative to how we, as humans, adapt and thrive as a society. We have changed the way that people perceive these new ways of reading and writing; by putting everything on a screen, we think that is will become simpler "at the touch of a button", however, it is more damaging to our physical and cognitive being than we may actually think. It effects a variety of primary and secondary reinforces: our thought process, our way of reading, our sight, our physical posture, and so many other factors that effect our normal way of living. Children brought up in this new age, have no idea what it feels like to read a book, or read a long article in a newspaper or magazine, but instead are so interlocked with their own technology, that they ,honestly, don't even need iPhones or iPads but parents conform to the needs of their own children and give into their wants and demands. There is a quote in this article that states, "we risk turning into " 'pancake people'- spread wide and thin as we connect with that vast network of information..." and that idea of people becoming "zombies" through technology is very real and very frightening.
