Tevin Hutchinson 11/10/2012 English 102 Technology plays a huge role in our everyday life. I do believe that technology has made our lives easier, but it also has made us more dependent on the technology itself. When using the internet for a dictionary you could easily get distracted. Anyone can put anything on the internet, so what you find might not be accurate. Most people find that looking things up on the internet is distracting because you are already on the web so why not check YouTube for a funny video, or update your status on the social network.
Experts have been talking about the negative effects of social networking for the last decade or so. Whether they hinder your ability to formulate complete sentences and spell words correctly due to the abbreviation of everything (or the “Text Talk” as it is called). Others have argued that social network sites are harmful in that they make information about us available to anyone anywhere, at the click of a mouse. But does chatting online hinder our ability to make friends in real life? Or as Alex Wright asks in his essay, Friending, Ancient or Otherwise, “as we stretch the definition of a friend to encompass people we may never actually meet, will the strength of our real-world friendships grow diluted as we immerse ourselves in a lattice of hyperlinked ‘friends’?” (431) The answer is simple: No.
However, college students need to understand that using social networking sites religiously is not just an issue about the amount of time devoted towards schoolwork, but that it can literally change how they think. Social networking sites, along with Google and Wikipedia, are influencing how college students process information. Facebook is a great tool to keep in touch with friends, but the Internet needs to be used for educational purposes. Although the Internet can be used for educational purposes, the usage of sites like Facebook, Wikipedia, and Google have negatively changed the way college students think. Some credit can be laid upon the student, but ultimately we as a society need to fundamentally change how people use the Internet.

Jane Mukala Professor Hart ENG 101 March 18, 2015 Does The Internet Make You Dumber? Nicholas Carr argues that the internet has bad effects on the brain. He says that the internet makes it harder to remember anything, and that it is harder to move memories into long term memories. Carr thinks that by skimming information, it will diminish the ability to read long texts; I disagree with him because the internet makes actually makes us smarter and think accurate because we are aware of every little information around us. Carr thinks that excessive use of the internet might cause permanent changes to the way our brains work and we don’t have to remember as much, because we have RAM (Random Access Memory).
How many times a day do you find yourself calling or texting someone? Technology has evolved in to something we can’t control. We rely on technology for basically everything we do in our life, from calling someone, to cleaning our pools and vacuuming our rugs. In Ray Bradury’s fictional short story “The Veldt” he criticizes modern society’s relationship with technology by giving examples of families becoming too dependent on technology, proving that kids grow to have dysfunctional relationships, and are isolated from the real world. For example, one thing Ray Bradbury criticizes is society’s dependency on technology.
People spend too much time and energy trying to find these relationships. There seems to be a less of a connection with people online. Jung’s article talks of Cornell University's Steven Strogatz who says “ By focusing so much of our time and psychic energy on these less meaningful relationships, our most important connections...will weaken” (par.2). Recent discoveries reveal that people aren’t who they really are online; leading people to “date” the unknown. People make fake accounts and use them to meet other people.
A good solution might be to block the access to websites such as Facebook, so that technology can continue to be a tool for knowledge and intellectual advancement, rather than socialization. Many friends of mine use Facebook on a daily basis for several reasons: to chat with other friends, to see what other people’s lives look like, or to keep in contact with people that live far away. All five of the friends I asked said Facebook is a very useful website, but it is also addicting and a waste of time most of the time.
