I agree with what Sam said about how new technology creates jobs for people who can program and implement software into machines. This also creates the motivation to get into that job field and major in that field.

# data[].attributes.body
Sam makes a great point! Jobs may be lost where they're being replaced but the tech industry would be on a steady incline because they will need more people to develop the technology and install it.

I agree with Cal that machines are supplements to tasks and that machines won't take over. These machines can't do anything without being programmed first by humans

Allison brings up a goods point that people who go do online schooling are capable of understanding the content without though a teacher. However, I believe that people will recieve a better education and understand better with an actual teacher, for they can specifically address the needs of a student.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree. I think that technology can be beneficial to us in fields such as medical and industrial markets burn can be detrimental in the way of machines not feeling any emotion and thus not understanding it.

Zoe brings a good point that technology is not taking over and stealing our jobs, they are just helping us improve our game. Also she provides a good example saying that the machine doesn't take the surgeons job just helps the surgeon.

i agree with savannah about how technology wont make as many people lose their job because they should think about the other older generations and how they dont have as much access.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with maddie that some jobs ask that you have only basic requirements, such as one or two college courses in that field, in order to be qualified. this makes it easier for a machine to take jobs over people and it is more desirable as well because it saves the company money not having to pay employees

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of people in the debate are coming up with the idea that in the future, machines will completely take away our jobs, such as mechanics and doctors, which I don't believe is a concern. Stephen Hawking doesn't believe in the threat of AI controlling humans, which can be seen in various science fiction films, such as the Matrix. Hawking reminds us that we are the ones creating machines and we dictate their amount of intelligence. It's impossible that in the near future, robots will become complex enough to be able to become human doctors and be trusted to do it.

i agree with vincent that just because technology has a bad side it doesnt mean we're going to stop using it or get rid of it, especially now that we've become so dependent on it.

# data[].attributes.body
If we did start replacing humans with robots in workplaces, what happens if we go to far?

# data[].attributes.body
danielle is right. companies will move to machines because they are more profitable. they dont need to be paid like humans do. you wont have to fire them because they are doing a bad job because they wont do a bad job because they are programed to do things correctly. also in regards to what gracie said i would much rather have a machine inject me with a needle. one time i went to the doctor to get blood drawn and although the lady was very nice she missed my vein like 5 times. the computer wouldnt miss my vein.

# data[].attributes.body
Savannah Sherman brought up a great point. The emotional capabilities of a machine are not on the level of a human, at least not yet. When you're looking at algorithms to influence actions versus an actual human, humans have the higher up. Gracie had a similar follow-up. She says that teachers base their instruction on the ways that their students learn because everyone is different. Gracie also said that people will not look favorably upon a machine taking over professions in the medical field. I agree with this thought. Like Vince C. said, humans can help in ways that machines cannot. Having that emotional, relatable connection is vital to progression.

# data[].attributes.body
i can see view the argument from both sides and there will always be a negative view to one side.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Danielle about machines taking jobs. In cartain jobs that you don’t need human interaction, they can easily be replaced by machines. We need all the money we can get and with machines taking jobs, there is less money for us. Companies don’t really care about giving humans jobs. All they care about is the money and they don’t even pay machines. Machines don’t even need breaks. Theycan work all hours of the day so in that way, they would definitely prefer machines rather than humans.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree. I think technology can be life changing in positive ways such as me as medical or assisitive technologies. But the other aside if it is that technology can be detrimental. Machines can’t feel emotions or comprehend them like humans can.

# data[].attributes.body
Savannah brings up a great point, while we are panicking about the increasing intelligence of androids we are forgetting all the positives of this increase of AI. Products are being produced faster and more efficiently with the help of machines, and new products (such as the futuristic prosthetics that can be controlled by brain waves) being produced to help us and our quality of life.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think computers or robots could replace people in a workplace. Humans have emotional capabilities that I am not confident robots or computers will ever be able to replicate.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with JJ that almost any job can be taken by a machine but I think that although they have the ability to do the job they don't have the emotions and sympathy humans do.

# data[].attributes.body
I think artificial intelligence is just going to make us all lazier by doing everyday tasks for us. I don't think computers shouldn't replace jobs such as teaching or nursing because human emotional connection is really important to feeling safe in those types of environments.

# data[].attributes.body
Maddie brings up a great point regarding the horror thinking about the future of technology. Thinking about this almost makes me afraid because it shows how technology has the capability to take over.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with gracie and how technology cant make an emotional interaction.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the conversation going on inside the circle the internet isn’t going to change our brains or who we are but enables us to be who we truly are

# data[].attributes.body
JJ brings up the idea that computers could eventually be seen as our replacement, but we're still different. Our minds are more complex, we ask questions that don't have any true answer, and we get in heated arguments with others just for fun. Our emotions and personality are our saving grace preventing us from becoming machines, as we will always be thinking, feeling beings. Computers and robots may come close to replacing us, but until they create their own intelligence and consciousness, they will never truly be able to replace us. Like Olivia says, the fear of artificial intelligence is rather ridiculous as machines can only be as smart as they are made to be as they are simply performing algorithms.

# data[].attributes.body
Danielle said that machines are replacing people for jobs and people are building machines so that they won’t need people for the job. However, you still need people to build those machines. But I do agree that the government doesn’t care much about jobs unless they’re making money for themselves (the government).

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Lydia that technology and the human mind is not comparable because with technology everything is programmed to do what you want it to. With people their minds are always changing based on the environments and social interactions they are put through.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Olivia because a lot of people have this idea that society was so much better decades ago since we didn't have phones so people to talk to each other all the time. I don't think society was all that better just because there was no internet.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with Grace's claim that the internet will not change our brains and humans. The internet influences how we make decisions and how we live as we use it daily. People shop online now, read online, communicate online, etc. Thus, it impacts the Human society.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with what olivia said because it makes a point about how technology forms our social interactions.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Lydia that you can’t really compare humans with computers because they are definitely different. Humans have emotions and computers don’t. They can calculate things so quickly  and we use the technology to calculate. If there was a math problem, we use a calculator to figure out the answer. We can’t do it in our heads like computers do.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Kira that the internet distracts us. The constant social media updates and text messages have our eyes glued to the screen. There are people who can't go through the day without checking their phone, even in places where they shouldn't like in the movie theater or in school. I have seen entire families in restaurants playing on their phones, even while eating, and it was just upsetting that people would rather check Snapchat stories rather than spend time with their families, people that they love.

# data[].attributes.body
Kira brings up that people are now using their phones almost constantly, saying that we used to converse and read with each other. But Sam brings up a good point, that we have always used methods and objects to escape from society. Like Vincent said, some people want to be alone, and will use newspapers, books, or phones to escape social interaction.

# data[].attributes.body
We were all raised in different generations so we all have different views and values. This influences us greatly with everything new developing

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that Carr’s age and generation have a huge influence on his perspective. For his generation, it’s understandable for him to have a conservative, strict view on change.

# data[].attributes.body
I do believe that Carr's age does affect his opinion . Older people tend to think technology is ruining today's society & changing the mindset of children & teenagers these days. I think this is because they grew up learning on their own & using resources with out technology so they have trouble adapting to the fact that technology is now a big part ofsociety  that is beneficial & is constantly adapting at a faster pace than they are used to .

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, even though it is the new norm to read online books, technology like ipads and kindles come with a lot more then books do. They have a lot more distractions and notifications that take people away from reading

# data[].attributes.body
I totally agree with Shane when he said that it is focused on the viewpoint of the person not the age because I saw the resident at work the other day with an IPhone 8 or X and I was very surprised when I saw that.

# data[].attributes.body
Steve jobs was 56 when he died, "old" people can use tech just as much as us. Its not tech their mad at its the change that irks them

# data[].attributes.body
Nostalgia could definitely be a part of Carr's opposition of the Internet as well as traditions. I know some people who are a bit older with very set views of the world, and nothing will change their mind. And there are others who love to learn more about our developing world from younger generations because they want to experience everything they can during their life. My Great Aunt loves her Nook, and always wants to know the latest social media bursts from me and my cousins, while my Grandmother doesn't even bother to set up a home answering machine on her farm

# data[].attributes.body
I think that some people can adapt to change more easily and when they do adapt, like everyone else, they become oblivious to the toxic effects. Then there are other people who are more conservative and like to keep tradition. I agree with Amy that there are different types of older people.

# data[].attributes.body
Responding to Allison's question about Carr's age :
I definitely think his age has something to do with his viewpoints . Society generally likes how they grew up and see's that as superior. Carr did not grow up with the amount of technology that we had, and we didn't grow up with the amount of technology that kids younger than us had.

# data[].attributes.body
Someone said that ebooks are just snippets of books. They definitely aren’t. They’re full books that give you the same exact information that a physical book in your hand with a cover and pages would give you. I’m a visual learner along with listening. If I hear something while I’m reading it, I retain more. So to have someone read me a book online while I’m reading it, it will help me personally and I think that goes for a lot of people.

# data[].attributes.body
You can listen to a book in the car but you can swipe it in the car

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with Jessica. Reading isn't about the medium, it's about the words and the meaning of the text itself. Using less paper is efficient economically and environmentally. Additionally, getting caught up on the format of the book is incredibly superficial. It's still words. If I'm being harsh, I think some people use the transformation from written book to online book as an excuse for not making time to read.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Shane that technology for things such as ebooks, is beneficial. It is more portable and efficient to have 5 books downloaded on your Kindle than in your bag.

# data[].attributes.body
I get Maryfe's point on how the notifications pop down. Its gonna be hard when that new tweet by someone come downs and you want to see it. Even if you dont look at it youre still thinking about it instead of your book.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Shane that kindles and other technology that offers online books or downloadable books are encouraging kids of younger age to read. Also, Allison makes the point that it’s cheaper.

# data[].attributes.body
Jessica made the point that reading a hard copy book is slowly becoming less popular and that is taking away from deep reading. i agree with that because when we read a books on our phones (maryfe said this) we still get those notification sounds and we get distracted which can cause us to not get as much information.

# data[].attributes.body
Instead of flipping you're swiping

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Jessica, reading a book online is completely different than reading a real book. Shane also made a good point that online reading is more popular for younger children. Games online can help educate children how to read, do math and learn about science. This is a different than how older generations learned information. This is not necessarily better or worse for society just different.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Allison’s idea that you get out of the internet what you put in or desire. If you put in healthy lifestyle changes in the google search engine, you’ll get that. However, if you type into netflix “Grey’s Anatomy” and binge watch all 14 seasons... that’s more likely to less result in less productivity. It starts with the individual and how they let the internet effect them.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Nathaniel, I do not believe that book will ever become obsolete. i feel that paper books are not necessary. I can check out a book on my phone and not have to leave my house to go check out a book. I do not believe reading on a phone is distracting and if you can focus you could always disable your notifications, play music, or even download an app that encourages you to stay focused.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Jessica and Maryfe with their dislike with eBooks because the notifications are really distracting if you're trying to read a novel and you don't get the same feeling trying to flip through the pages to find out how many more pages you need to read to finish the book.

# data[].attributes.body
Shane brought up the point that the internet is causing the younger generation to read more through the use of E-Books. I agree with this.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Shane because there are devices that are strictly for e-books & online reading that would eliminate reading on your phone or ipad with notifications. This would eliminate the distraction level that people argue is not worth it . However , people make claims that e-books are snippets of book but i disagree. E-books are books that have been put online. Therefor we are getting all the same information but in a more convenient way

# data[].attributes.body
What Carr brings up about paper books not being used is not a claim I agree with. 1)

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Allison who said you get out of the Internet what you want to hear.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked Allison comparing this topic to a coin. You control the sources you want yo use and what you want to accept so I believe this puts a facade on the issues in the world. You control which topics you want to be alerted about. This is a problem because we should know what is happening in our world.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, even though it is the new norm to read books online, technology like iPads or kindles are more then just books. They have a lot more to them like notifications that often distract and take away people from reading

I agree with Alec's point about the work put in to Teslas is probably more hazardous for the environment than driving to get food or like an item of clothing. I feel like the more that technology advances that occur within the car industry, the more fossil fuels that are burned.

Shane says that using the internet makes you lazy if you let it. A claim I made yesterday was that it really depends on how you use it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology has multiple impacts, good and bad. It’s impact depends on how you use it. Shane says this and I completely agree with him. He says that you can either use smart technology to better your life or sit in front of a screen for hours. Although what does our society do more of?

# data[].attributes.body
Shane says the internet can make you lazy if you let it. If your sit in front of a screen for hours a day, it will turn into a bad habit. He also said it can help you become more productive using th advantages of the internet. You get what you want to know from the internet.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Shane that the internet only makes you lazy if you let it. It is easy to fall into a unproductive lifestyle on the internet. There are like Shane said workouts that can be found on the internet but there are also people watching cat videos all day. Like Allison said there are both sides to the internet. Is it easier to follow someone else's thoughts on the internet or create your own?

# data[].attributes.body
Many who meditate on the negative effects of the internet love to say people are just sitting in front of screens. Believe it or not, most people aren't staring blankly and drooling while on their phones.  The internet is an amazing resource. Duolingo, a free app, is a very popular way to learn and practice foreign language. Youtube is invaluable with tutorials for challenging classes like AP Calculus and AP Chem. PDFs of historical documents and primary source material are easily found online.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Shane in that the internet makes us more independent to an extent however. This is because the internet may allow us to not need help from other people, but I still rely on that very technology. So, we aren't truly independent.

# data[].attributes.body
That was a great point that Mr. Welbeck just had. I personally wonder how much we have actually helped the Environment and the economy. Yes the economy, think about it, if we see something in an add on our computer and with a click of a button can purchase that then we usually do it. But if we see somtheing in a magazine and have to go allllll the way to the actual store and why would we do that when we can get it with one click.

# data[].attributes.body
The internet is more beneficial for the environment and many people fail to see this. This was a really good point brought up by Nathaniel that we are helping air pollution.

# data[].attributes.body
Even though online shopping make our lives a lot easier, and may be saving us gasoline, more people are not leaving  house to get things, making them lazy, but it also cause people to lose jobs because people don't go to real stores.

# data[].attributes.body
Nathanial brought up a good point when he said that the internet hasn’t made our physical world Moreno efficient and clean by reducing fossil fuel use. Shane’s said that the internet can offer lot of support for people who are struggling with illnesses. I agree with this.

# data[].attributes.body
Nathaniel made a point that I didn’t even think of. The use of the internet is slowing down air pollution and fossil fuel use. We no longer have to drive to the store or the library and waste gas. The internet actually makes the environment a better place.

# data[].attributes.body
Nathaniel is correct when he says it makes life more efficient, like shopping online to save gas and money. I agree that the Internet makes the way we live more efficient. The Internet and technology is progressing our society by allowing us to be more independent by finding our own answers by searching for them rather than asking an adult. It gives teens the chance to begin to learn how to live on their own by enabling mobile banks and online shopping for ourselves and others. I also disagree with Mrs. Dursa's idea that technology in general is making us lazier, but there are even more ideas to keep us healthy, like FitBits, apps to track your food and water intake, and cars that help us to get places. In my case, cars allow me to go from one sport to the next, which keeps me active.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that the internet has a lot of beneficial things for us. However, many people do use online shopping which isn't that beneficial because, like in the movie wall-E, people lose face to face interaction with others and obesity is less preventable. You do not need to use a car to go to the mall or a friends house. You can use a bike, skate board or even walk if you want to save gas. Like Allison said, it is really a coin flip. You can chose what to do with the internet and how to live your life. Unfortunately, most people do not chose the right and healthy way for them.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with both Shane and Natheniel

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Shane that the internet is a global community that can be used for good, and makes things more efficient like Nathaniel said.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Allison and her idea that technological advancement is replacy old literary tradition. That’s inevitable in my opinion and its not necessarily a bad thing. As our technology advances, the pace of our society does too. As a result, old traditions will diminish in popularity as replacements take shape that are more efficient and effective.

# data[].attributes.body
technology is a great outlet for support and ideas. It has given society a sense of union and like Shane said a glabal community. We learn from each other and it's a great resource. Shane is talking about how it's just a more efficient way to get ideas across and that's right. Now we can just send a quick message and the idea is understood right away while in the past, messages took a while to be found and to be understood.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Allison's point that society is always making advancements whether it's emotionally or technologically. I think the internet has allowed communication to be easier and much more efficient with phones to talk to others and texting or messaging online.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the point Allison brings up. The Shallows writes as if technology is the cause of lessened literacy. However, it's not like people were sitting around and reading Tolstoy before the evils of technology swept in and stole thought. People already didn't read before technological advancement.

I agree with Allison when she said that the internet is positive but i feel it is very beneficial because of cupoftea.com so people can actually get support for their depression and also it serves as a relaxation tool.

I agree with Allison’s point that the internet can offer support for people struggling with problems. People can create global communities and support groups to help fix social injustices.

I agree with Allison. The internet has created so many solutions for us. The Internet is constantly developing and 24 hour access to so many resources. Allison brought up reaching a therapist online when people have depression. It is a great resource for so many people that society is bettered today because of it.

# data[].attributes.body
Allison makes a good point that there is always advancements around us so the increased use of the Net is just something we have to get a grip on and understand. There are medicinal advencements everyday. Althought the internet is not 100% beneficial or positive, it is something that we have to get used to.

# data[].attributes.body
Allison brought up the fact that the internet is beneficial because it is a way people can interact & can talk to therapists online . Shane then added a good point about how technology allows people to have a little community among the web

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Allison that society is somewhat better today because of the internet. On page 58, Carr talks about the stone tools and how people used to write notes " No one would think to commit a deep thought or a long argument to a pebble or a potsherd." Technology has constantly advanced us for the better. Now we don't have to write our opinions on a rock, we have paper and the internet where we can express our thoughts. I also agree with Shane that technology helps us with medical advancements. Awareness about diseases can increase because of the internet which can lead to finding a cure and saving lives.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Allison, the internet does have a lot of positive aspects like easy access to informations and people, but does have it's drawbacks. It is a major distraction and people are losing their ability to pay attention by distractions from the internet

I don't have Netflix for the same reason Celina does, and my family gets together a few times a week no matter what our crazy hectic schedules are, and we watch our out funny sit coms every week and bond and laugh together. Those shows bring us closer even if it's just a few minutes.

I agree with the fact that the internet cannot be seen as a good or evil because it is an inanimate object. I believe that so many people (mostly older) that dont understand the full affects and benefits of technology, they use it as a negative thing.They say how we are so glued and connected to the phones and how its ruining us and how it negativley affects us. But they are also the ones who didnt have technology while growing up so they didnt truly see how it could positivley affect the world because as they get older they lost most of the purpose of using it for their benefit

Savannah Scott makes a really good point that grades are available right away. I think that this helps students who want to do a good job understand what they need to do to get what they want. If you have a C in your class and you see that you can talk to your teacher about it and raise it up.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Vincent and I think that it is possible to be more advanced while being more cruel in some ways (I have forgotten the specific term he used). We have become more intelligent with a greater understanding of our world and the things around us. But as Uncle Ben so eloquently said, with great power comes great responsibility. Since we are becoming more intelligent with a greater understanding of human behaviors, such as body language, which allows us to come up with harsher ways to hurt someone.

Vinny makes a good point with his example that shows how people's (taxi drivers) brains develop and change with the use of the internet/technology.

I agree with Vinny because understanding the difference between better and advanced is important. Although I do not agree with the fact that as a society we have not changed as people. Of course we have advanced in technology, that happens as we evolve, however; as a society we have become more accepting than we have been over the past 20 years. That is us changing as a society.

I somewhat disagree with the claim Katatrina made that society is not better today than in the past.  I do think that technology has made us "better" as a society. With the internet we are able to endlessly write about things that are important to us and our society . On page 58 Carr talked about the history o how people started save their ideas " No one would think to commit a deep thought or a long argument to a pebble or a potsherd." With the internet, we have become a better society because we can explain our deep thoughts.

Celina brings up a really good point about being able to look up not just articles, but videos to further teach yourself about a topic you don't understand, especially when teachers can't accommodate everyone's pace and need.
