Is google making us stupid?

Well I am relatively bad at remembering names and other things about people however I think it is also due to our diets and the conversations we share. If we live in a society where our hands are the tools and our minds are only the handle maybe we're over used and unappreciative of the time we do have. What happened to the days people would walk outside in the morning, breath deeply and go where ever they find fit.

Finding the information is a way to learn it better and exploring text, not just passing by to the main point. It's like looking at only fragments in a persons life. We get the overall meaning but the small and important details are gone. It's as important to explore new knowledge and not just have it handed over like caviar which people need to build up a taste for to even enjoy it. I think if people would take a break for themselves, maybe after that they'd absorb more and enjoy it. I think the article "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" was one-sided because it didn't give as much consideration to the general health of people with these problems concentrating. However the author is correct in the way we read for example, I skimmed the article three times before reading into it more. I skimmed the paragraphs the author spoke about skimming in but I am lacking in sleep, haven't eaten right in a few days and couldn't get lost in the writing to begin with.

Chapter 9

Well science has always been something difficult to sort from fact and theory but seeing things like cell division occurring and chromosomes separating by spindle fibers connected with centrioles to form new cells many times per second in the human body, it's no wonder why peoples interests are peeked. I'm fond of conversations based off of genetics and thoughts on the proteins that make us what we are. Its almost completely because of combinations of the pairs adenine with thymine(DNA) or uracil (RNA) and guanine with cytosine.
I'm not sure if this interest is right or left brained focus. The imagery is what makes ideas more tangible but the logic is incredible and bemusing.

DNA Replication Song

(I don't know why it keeps double spacing everything but I'm just going to go with it at this point.)

I guess the best part of this parody is how diverse it is from Madonna's actual song "Like a Virgin."

Weird Al commonly takes a popular song and maintains the melody but changes the meaning, such as in his song "Amish Paradise" which is a parody of "Gangsta's Paradise."

The picture following it's of an Amish

"speed wagon" In a line of race cars. In order to understand the humor Someone would have to know that Amish shun electronics and anything high-tech. The idea of a horse drawn wagon competing against race cars isn't very realistic but that's what makes it funny,

Lastly is Robin Hood Men in Tights. A movie with mole moving, sex driven and completely silly humor to it. In the scene the men display how important it really is that all men do wear tights, and how masculine they really are.

I couldn't just pick one Evony advertisement. The progression of this online role playing games subtle ads is possibly my favorite to discuss. Since the first few advertisements no game has been more pronounced in saying "HERE'S BREASTS, JOIN OUR GAME!" Whether it's the desire to fit in, or join the game for the idea of soft-core porn headlining every page, this game has captured the attention of many young men everywhere. Very few women play Evony, probably due to the biases of the ads. My suggestion is tacking on pictures Fabio Lanzoni with a flowing unbuttoned dress shirt.

Aside from game advertisements, are the ads that tell people who they want to like and what others want to be. A likable person doesn't need brands, and consumer goods which only mask insecurity with a false sense of power and comfort. If individuals are a reflection of society then why don't the individuals force society to reflect off of them instead. When people build a bridge, it is the strength and unity of the group that builds it, but everyone in the group is their own person and does not belong to the group. They belong with the group.

Advertisements that tell people that they're more unique or will fit in because of a product are nothing but wrong.

If you are a parent or even just have a pet, this is an advertisement meant just to shock you. The idea of your pet having worms, and playing with them is like playing with a parasite. This advertisement is amusing and disturbing to me because of how happy the girl appears with a parasite in her hands. That's why it's targeted more for parents who also have pets. The connection of a kid to their pet is usually a very close and a loving connection. The idea of the pet being something that would like to eat organs is just troublesome.Because of the feeling it gave me when I first saw this I believe it is an effective advertisement.

Originally I wanted to do a survey about peoples opinions about the Internet and online communications however no one likes taking surveys! The advancement of these communications is leading to a new relationship with people and their computers. If the Internet was made for resources, knowledge and communication, where does an online relationship start? Aside from the many advertisements that hit you on various websites, the free raine of peoples biases and opinions, something new is arriving; online relationships. From personal experience heartbreak was more painful because the person I grew to adore and love, which was as I expected once we met in person and briefly lived together, only appeared less conflicted in text. Romance and families are changed now that communication is as instant as our 5000 calorie mcburgerburgyton breakfest with a cup of hot java.
Since the classic courtship and fairytale of what life should be with that certain someone, to now the fast pased clubbing, virtual flirting and displays of passion, the Internet is evolving how people see each other. People not getting the opportunity to cast shallow judgement is less possible and learning who the person is inside can be the actual task. People seem to feel more open in online chat however is it more easy to lie about who someone is. Relationships of the past seem more emotionally connected and Internet relationships seem to regenerate that passion without the necessity of physical touch.
