It's been a bit since i read this - what do you all think? There's obviously a balancing act that goes on with new technology, where there are new opportunities but you also lose some of what makes us human (see Neil Postman's Technopoly). In any event - i enjoy those who are willing to admit the downside of "progress"
Oooo, my first post on the blog. Very exciting.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if Google is making us stoopid, but it clearly is making it too easy to spend tons of time on the internet (see generally Column Lyceum). :)
It is not Google that is making us stupid, it's the fact that anything (including this comment) can be posted to the internet and thus appear to have some credibility.
