Revision Plan: During the revision time I was able to see where my paper could use some touching up. One plan for my revision is to definitely add more of Kelley’s influence into the paper so I can have two scholars plus my own thoughts out on paper. My second plan is to make sure that the flow of the paper will work after I have added the Kelley quotes…

I do agree with Turkle that we do Love the objects we think with, and this is because they help us. They help us surpass our goals and achieve things we never thought we could achieve.

Passages you understand and why. There is a passage that talks about how people love an animal why can’t they love the web. I can understand how people come to love the internet because it is a useful tool to use if you are trying to search or get information quick.

My phone is light and compact enough to be carried around with me anywhere I go. My phone has my school email on it which is convenient for emailing professors or group members on the go and makes answering faster…

Nicholas Carr argues that the internet specifically google is making us as humans a less intelligent race. ” I can feel it too. Over the past few years Ive had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something has been tinkering with my brain, remapping the neural circuitry, reprogramming the memory. My mind dint going-so far as i can tell-but its changing. I’m not thinking the way I used to…

The readers of Carrs paper are reluctant to believe what Carr is writing because no one wants to believe that technology is taking over. No one wants t0 believe that something the internet is smarter then us even though people created it. The internet has made the human race a lazy race. The part that gives people anxiety to me is what else could go wrong? What else could happen…
