Ya'll lazy

“Is Google making us stupid?” NO. Google isn’t making us stupid but is rather rewiring out thinking process. Our brains are no longer absorbing material in a form that contains an in depth knowledge of a particular subject but rather are absorbing only pieces of multiple subjects. As seen by the a study of the internet sites the class visited we skip from site to site in search of little bits of information that is contained on multiple websites. We may search the internet for information pertaining to our homework assignments, our leisure, our social networking, or for news and media. Stupid we is not as a class though. We think different than how people may have thought years ago. Our minds travel from place to place with our browsing and we absorb information. However when it comes time to restate what we have read and learned, we can do it. We have no problem. Our minds do think differently but I don’t think it makes us stupid. Thinking differently isn’t really what we do either. I don’t think we think at all. Our brain wants to be entertained and at the same time expel the least amount of effort to do so. How many people rather watch CSI on Thursday nights than open a book or magazine and read it. As an example of just how lazy we have gotten, turn and look at the T.V. and how we watch it and how we know what’s on it. To see what was on T.V. we used to have to read the TV Guide. Now we have a tivo or DVR that displays what’s on the T.V. on the T.V. Less effort for more knowledge describes our thinking process now. It’s not really a process but is an example of technology making us lazy.
