Nicholas Carr, “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” - A Rhetorical Analysis Nicholas Carr starts this very well written article with a rather emotional scene from the 2001 blockbuster movie – A Space Odyssey. In the scene, the main character of the movie; an astronaut named Dave disconnects the memory circuit that controls the artificial brain of the supercomputer HAL which via a malfunction nearly sent Dave to his death. He then goes over to liken that scenario ironically to what he believes the internet is doing to his brain. His central claim simply put is that the internet is adversely affecting his thinking. He says that as a writer, he has ceased to go deep into the sea of words like a scuba diver but now rather skims through various texts on the internet propelled by hyperlinks just like a guy on a jet ski.

Although the poem implicitly refers to the horrors of war and the ravages of radiation fallout, it is anything but a “no-nukes” polemic. Instead, it focuses on the behavior of a lizard that is about to be destroyed in a test explosion, and it implies that humans will be destroyed as well by their obsession with technological progress and political domination. Like most of Stafford’s work, this understated poem employs everyday, colloquial language and is steeped in a western landscape. A conscientious objector to World War II, Stafford was forced to spend four years in a labor camp, and his antiwar stance was reinforced by this experience—but he published no poems that speak about it directly. Stafford often said that he didn’t see himself as “a very political person”; there were just some issues on which one simply had to take a stand.
Suicide Booth 25 cents Franklin Polanco English Composition, Assisted Suicide October 6, 2013 Futurama created by Matt Groening who also created the Simpsons, is a television program set in the 31st century. On season 1 episode 1 the suicide booth or stop-and-drop is introduced. These Booths appear to look like phone booths with stop-and-drop written on the outside. Upon entering the booth and inserting 25 cents there are three modes of death “quick and painless”, “slow and horrible” and “clumsy bludgeoning”. After the user selects the way they want to go the machine cheerfully says, “you are now dead.
Caruso (Disturbia), penned by no less than five writers, and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Eagle Eye is a cyberspace cat and mouse caper where humans find themselves at the mercy of the hi-tech world they've created. And we're not just talking about the shrill special effects hide and seek frenzy of this movie. Eagle Eye begins at a US military control center, where the brass is hedging bets about conducting a fateful target assassination missile strike against what may or may not be a fake Afghan funeral, and with a most wanted insurgent possibly in attendance. And the bombing sets off a wave of retaliation against the US internationally, in its wake. Submitted by: Grace Jhane C. Avila
