First blog
Veronica Garcia
1 st Blog (1/25): Nicholas Carr, “Is Google
Have humans become less human and more machine?
Has the rapid growth of technology such as Google reprogramed our brain?
Did humans get lazy and relied on technology for all its needs?
In the article by Nicholas Carr, “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” I found it to be very interesting to read because I have never taken the time to realize how technology is involved in our daily basis. Carr discussed how the making of Google search engine has changed the internet and how our brain lacks memory exercises because Google does everything for us. I am going to answer question three because after reading the article I noticed how we used devices to keep connected with the Internet to do small tasks such as checking our email or looking up time frames for a movie. Humans use the Internet every day for school or work and I think that humans have gotten lazy to do basic functions because everything is a click away from our fingertips. Humans don’t longer go to the library to pick up a book just for leisure or research. The Internet now has devices where you can just download your book straight from an app. Such growth of technology has made every day functions for humans easier because we are no longer as mobile as we once were because now people just sit in their office and never get up because they can find everything they need in the Internet. The founders of Google have made it their goal to create “artificial intelligence “, and I don’t think that is something we should look forward to. If that was to happen in the mere future than I think that humans will no longer exercise the brain and we will lack simple functions, and our world will be run my technology such as robots and we would all get obese like in the movie Wall-e. So yes I do think that Google is making us stupid because we don’t longer go out and explore instead we have irritated red eyes because we are too locked in the screen to even look outside our window at Mother Nature.
