The world\u2019s most powerful search engine, Google, has taken concentrated steps to take \u201cwhat you mean and gives you back exactly what you want\u201d therefore making the experience as effortlessly as possible as if we aren\u2019t already in a hyper-enforced \u201csupply and demand\u201d era. Humans are spoiled. We have evolved to individuals who prioritize instant gratification and autonomous accessibility to all resources. With that being stated, is having endless information on-call from our fingertips worth the perceived detriment of human intelligence?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personally, I believe individuals are accountable for their own growth and development despite external influences. Humans are ignorant in some fashion to something. Google\u2019s objective is to attain all information possible and make it accessible to the masses. A consequence of this is by living in today\u2019s era where media has been concised to short, consumable pieces of information that don\u2019t challenge someone\u2019s attention span it can be easily noticed how the future has a troubling outlook. However just as with every advancement there are positive and negative consequences in result. On the positive side companies like Google, for example, have opened the floodgates of information processing for society. This despite all negative consequences is still a major win for society. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donovan Green Professor Wachanga New Communication Technologies &nbsp; Is Google Making Us Stupid? &nbsp; As technology has become the forefront of human innovation so has the pursuit of information as well, oftentimes sparking the debate that Nicholas Carr made in his article Is Google Making Us Stupid? which expounds on individuals trading human intelligence for &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/greendt30\/2018\/05\/12\/is-google-making-us-stupid\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Is Google Making Us Stupid?&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7573,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/greendt30\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/greendt30\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/greendt30\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/greendt30\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7573"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/greendt30\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/greendt30\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/greendt30\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23\/revisions\/24"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/greendt30\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/greendt30\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/greendt30\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
