Tools that change the way we think!

"Back in 2004, I asked [Google founders] Page and Brin what they saw as the future of Google search. 'It will be included in people's brains,' said Page. 'When you think about something and don't really know much about it, you will automatically get information.' 'That's true,' said Brin. 'Ultimately I view Google as a way to augment your brain with the knowledge of the world. Right now you go into your computer and type a phrase, but you can imagine that it could be easier in the future, that you can have just devices you talk into, or you can have computers that pay attention to what's going on around them and suggest useful information.' 'Somebody introduces themselves to you, and your watch goes to your web page,' said Page. 'Or if you met this person two years ago, this is what they said to you... Eventually you'll have the implant, where if you think about a fact, it will just tell you the answer." -From In the Plex by Steven Levy (p.67)


Responce: Internet has completely changed the way people think now a days. The technology from today is like our cruches. Just liike the TED talk, google thinks for us now, a machine judges what we like by what we first click on our browser. The technology does so much for us and makes things so much easier in just about everything we do. We live in a system of where Robots control just about everything. But how to balance out what we ourselves have control over and what we let control us without knowing. The new founding of the NSA! I did not know that existed or the 12 year old boy who was brilliant at hacking the government system just to get codes for his games! It is good and bad, i know when i use technology it can be time consuming and my train of thought is somewhere else than my own. It depends on what im doing as well. Confrontation-communication is a huge notice of negative effect that technology has impacted on us. We use texting, email, skype or whatever to communicate through whether than face to face. There are so many factor's that go into my opinion of technology and the internet but I wonder if I am entitled to my opinion if not the opinion of my knowledge coming from what i have learned from the internet.
