Mitchell Heyne Composition 2 January 7, 2014 Unit 3 Assignment 1 Summary Response Paper “Wow, this isn’t a bad article” I said to myself as I was reading “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” The point of this article is that people are losing the ability to concentrate for long periods of time, especially if they have no interest in the subject. Some people see this as a mental disorder, however, this is due to people trying to look for a quick fix and not doing the thorough research. I will agree that the way people are thinking is indeed changing, some for the good, but most for the bad as well. Search engines are rerouting our memory. According to one article in Science magazine, we're not necessarily losing our ability to remember things.

The evolution of media has changed the way we absorb information from writing to radio to television and so on. During these trans-formative periods, skills are lost and skills are gained; but to label the internet as the catalyst for the degeneration of our intelligence goes a bit too far. In his article ”Is Google Making Us Stupid” Nicholas Carr argues that, in its current form, the internet is not conducive to the kind of deep thought required when reading a long article or novel. He feels that while the internet is extremely useful, it is designed to distract as opposed to focus the mind.
In this essay I am going to explain why changes in the education system have and have not helped pupils. There are many reasons for and against this claim and I will outline them throughout this essay. A reason that changes in the education system have helped pupils is the national curriculum which was introduced in 1988 (1988 education act). The national curriculum standardised learning as everyone is taught the same thing as well as helping gender equality as males and females have access to all the same subjects. It also can make it easier than in the past for a student who switches schools, because now schools broadly have to follow a similar curriculum.
Technology Influence on Today’s Society Technology has become an important resource in the world today. Many writers are writing essays about how technology is beneficial and harmful to our society today.

Akbari and Sullivan both write about how technology is positive and negative; however, Akbari focuses on mainly the positive ways to better utilize technology, while Sullivan focuses on the negative. A similarity between Sullivan and Akbari is they both recommend the reader to take a sabbatical from technology.
Rachel Reine English 101 Section 4 February 19, 2012 Internet Use in Teenagers In response to the new generation’s use of internet and lack of reading classic books, Amy Goldwasser defends the teenage reputation in her article “What’s the Matter with Kids Today?” Goldwasser speaks of how the internet has expanded kids’ minds when it comes to school and themselves, also how this generation has more access than older generations due to the internet. Goldwasser claims that teenagers spending time online is overall good for them because they do read and write. The content, however, is not strong enough for educational purposes. A blog post about how to curl hair or how to pass the perfect spiral is not giving them any educational value. Whereas reading the local newspaper or reading a classic novel like “The Great Gatsby” by F Scott Fitzgerald would provide a more intellectual purpose.
Changes in the teaching of the new math curricula versus the basic teachings are getting better for some student coming up learning math especially in the K-3 school. Another Phi Delta Kappan article called “Parrot Math (Criticism of Why do teachers want to use their strategies instead of learning new ideas their student come up with? The subject of the matter comes up as teachers can also learn from student as well.

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, was said to have been written about how technology like television and other media were making people less interested in ideas. Bradbury was thinking of the future and how it could be affected by over use of electronics. Mathew Ingram, a blogger on Gigaom tech blog, had asked “Are we living in Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451?” I believe that we almost living in the world of Ray Bradbury’s novel. Too many people are more interested in media, than in books and ideas. The majority of society would would rather pick up their smartphones than pick up a book.
