My thoughts on "Google Changing the Way We Think"

This article begins with an hypothesis that screen-based information may be affecting certain portions of our brains. I can understand where this conclusion could be drawn. I am fortunate enough to have grown up with many new technologies arising everyday.

Imagine, 20 years ago, not having cell phones attached to our ears or using the internet daily. I can't imagine it. I use the internet everytime I have work due for school, others may use it for their jobs. People, at one point, actually had to look information up by using books. In today's world, children know more about computers before they can read.

In conclusion, I can totally agree with this hypothesis. People, including me, resort to the internet too much. Everything in today's world is too easy and it's because of technology.
