On "Changing the Way We Think"

I think that this article was interesting, but a little off base. Yes, almost all technologies have an impact on the way people think, however, the rapidly growing use of the internet can not be compared to generational drug habits. I think the internet is just one more popular source to turn to for instant gratification. This has only been inevitable since the industrial revolution. First we changed the way we work, to reduce the workload, now we have an easy way to access information. Instead of picking up a dictionary or encyclopedia, which may only take five minutes of our time, (heaven forbid) we now google it. However, I do think that the internet may effect the development of children. My generation did not grow up with easy access to these resources, so I feel like I am still able to maintain my mind's processing skills. Unlike the children growing up with a mouse in their hands googling anything that catches their curiosity. I definitely feel this could have some damaging effects on the future of our human evolution.

On "G-Drive"

I think that this is a great idea!! What a wonderful alternative to the risk of the ever-failing hard drive. I have had problems with a pc and macs when it comes to hard drives, and I think that it would be great to have an easy, and free way to back up all that information. Google just keeps on coming up with new ways for efficency and progress!
