Read and Responds
"People Would Rather be Electrically Shocked" -Nadia Whitehead
Boredom
Left alone for a period of time with no technology, only a way to electrically shock themselves.
Most chose to shock themselves over having to be alone with their own thoughts.
The Internet Debate: Shirky, Carr, & Poundstone
Compared three theorist authors' views on whether the internet is making people dumber or smarter.
Shirky - Internet makes you smarter
Carr - Internet makes you dumber
Poundstone - Internet makes you more meta-ignorant
Meta-Ignorant: less cognizant of what we don’t know
"Google-Knowing" -Michael Patrick Lynch
Do not get knowledge from Googling, only information
Like asking random people for answers and hoping that they are honest and correct
Blind faith in the top answer and trust that the answer will appear quickly
Taking in data so quickly that the small errors go unnoticed.
"Our Digital Form of Life" -Michael Patrick Lynch
Neuromedia: Having a wireless connection directly from your phone to your brain.
No longer a need for actual memory, everything will be saved on a hard drive somewhere
Knowing something is much different from having an opinion about it
