Looking at someone else's work isn't only your own idea, but the other artist as well. Also, how does it draw deeper thinking? How are people thinking deeper about what they are making if they are dependent on looking at a reference. ]]> 2018-10-30 12:16:12 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/298440438 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/298440559

The internet offers this ability that people can pull from other ideas, and build upon these pre-existing ideas. Copying is not really an internet-exclusive issue, and if anything, still encourages people to be creative because they find new ideas to expand upon themselves.]]> 2018-10-30 12:16:37 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/298440681 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/298441152 Sydney argues that we can just search all information on the internet so we dont hsve to think. But she also argues that we can search things on the internet to gather new ideas to make a grand idea. I think her point is very valid although we don't critically think as much as we used to when the internet isn't around. We can go on social media like instagram or pintrest and see post and get more ideas.]]> 2018-10-30 12:17:22 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/298441152 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/298441180 Kendell states that the internet increases creativity although she is correct in stating that the internet exposes us to different artist that can inspire your art in sense however she fails to realize that a huge part of creativity is to to create your own ideas, we applaud many artist like Picasso and Rembrandt from their distinct style.
I agree with Austin when he said that the internet may limit your on creative thought. As i was listening to Josh i came to a realization that "Creative plagiarism has existed for a long time " however i still believe that the internet hinders our ability to create free from complete individuality, now no matter hat we do we will always be impacted by the internet due to information overload.  ]]> 2018-10-30 12:17:26 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/298441180 BCPSkdougherty https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/298441203 Joe argues that the internet is making society better.

There isn't a difference looking at art in person and looking at it in real life.

That is not necessarily true. People, in general, tend to stay away from tasks that they just don't like. People who don't like writing essays will always find a way to not do it. The internet is more so an excuse for recurring problems in today's society. If people don't want to perform a task, they simply will find ways to stay distracted, so that they won't. Going outside, walking around their house, or talking with friends. It just so happens that when people want a way out of doing something, they turn to the internet.

The quick and easy distractions make us unable to think for ourselves and process information. I agree with this claim because the human mind can't process many things at one time. When focused on the internet, the mind is overloaded with dozens of distractions all at one time. Because humans have relied so much on the internet, in forms of smartphones, laptops, and computers, we have grown accustomed to following distractions in our everyday lives. This causes us to not focus on one specific thing for one time.]]> 2018-10-30 12:29:22 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/298447390 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/298448719 Sydney argues that the society can not do anything thing without technology and out problem solving skills are poor but she fails to understand how much we have advanced since the cave mans.

If anything, it offers people to take more balanced sides. Firstly, this is an issue that takes place outside of the internet. Political viewpoints is a prime example of this. Something as simple as saying that you agree with a bill that Trump passed, will automatically make people think that you are super right-wing conservative, and vice versa. This certainly takes place outside the internet. Going back to the internet, it opens people to be safe from any type of ostracizing, and here thousands of unique viewpoints are born. Allowing this anonymity offers people to express their viewpoint freely, and this opens people to express how they truly feel, which opens a more wide variety for people to learn from and dispute.]]> 2018-10-30 12:37:54 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/298451532 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/298451608 2018-10-30 12:38:02 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/298451608 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/298451987 I agree with Kendel.

People here, on padlet, are having a slightly easier time getting their ideas out compared to those in the inner circle where there are slight moments of pause where people have to really think about what they are saying.

As joe stated on certain social media platforms on specific view is project as if it is the only option good or bad no between , for example the republican vs democrat culture has become increasingly violent due to the fact that people are inflamed and emboldened by their platform to attack other ideologies that do not subscribe to one side or another.

By having the tools to do this people will have a fuller understanding on certain topics and will adapt their opinions based off of these newly learned opinions.

The real cause of this issue is just these tragic events that keep repeatedly occurring. These events are just becoming mainstream and accepted as a part of society. The internet just showcases these events on websites.

Like Sydney said, video games are the main reason this occurs. a lot of video games are really gory and disgusting, and because this happens so often, a lot of people don't have any reaction to it at all which is really sad and scary.

Often when we disagree with someone in real life e can discern that that person is not their beliefs holistically and that they are still flesh and blood behind it all , when we strip away the physical we are less likely to remember that behind these angry tweets are HUMAN beings, a big step forward from all this hate and lack of humanism can be just remembering that e are all still growing and e are clay, some views may be cemented like a certain persons faith but political views are societal constructs, if we can respect each other as members of one human race then we can progress forward and depolarize.]]> 2018-10-30 12:57:00 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/298461438 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/298462142 A lot of the things in the world are mainly there to make money, so we can not only say that the internet is a money grab.

The library of Alexander for example, destroyed by fire, flood, raids. Digital books are also cheaper than regular books so its more accessible. And with digital books, you can read in the dark! It takes away the cumbersome task of holding a torch and trying to read at the same time. You also don't have to worry about snaking and staining your pages because with a tablet or phone, it can easily be cleaned with wipes. Also when I'm reading online, I'm more likely to click on a word and find its definition if it sounds unfamiliar while if I was reading a physical copy, I would go on being ignorant.

Much evidence supports this idea, including how many of our youth have begun to dive in to foreign foods and languages.

The past is an endless well of knowledge and wisdom. Without looking back at our ancestors, we might repeat their same mistakes.

The internet is not blamed for effecting the way we think, it is prosecuted. There is undeniable proof that the Internet effects our minds in good and bad ways. We don't push our problems on the internet, the internet is the reason we have them. What other factors could have affected us in such a profound way? The internet is the platform that everyone uses, no other platform is as big. We use the internet to try to benefit us in life, but it actually hurts us. The internet is the reason we have certain problems with how we think, it  is not subjected unfairly.]]> 2018-11-08 05:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/301901274 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/301902497 I believe that the internet hinders critical thinking as today the youthful generations don't remember anything or somewhat vague knowledge because of the mindset that the internet holds all their information for them.  I do believe however that creativity is at an all time high because the internet benefits creatavity and promotes it by encouraging and allowing access to  a variety of tools and inspirational media.]]> 2018-11-08 05:50:03 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/301902497 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/301903133 I disagree with Sasha's claim stating that "Social media is forcing people to be the same and trying to brainwash us."  Social media promotes the idea of trends and other fandoms where people are encouraged to like and enjoy the same things.  What's different though is that social media encourages people to explore and find what they like specially accustomed to them, not entirely make everyone the same.]]> 2018-11-08 05:54:17 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/301903133 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/301903778 I disagree with Virtous's claim that we can't look at the actions of people who have passed on and truly analyze the impact of what they did. Where we are as a society now shows the effects of what that person did and we can analyze how those actions affected peoples lives during that periods of time, between, and now.]]> 2018-11-08 05:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/301903778 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/301904188 I agree with Matt's statement that we shouldn't blame the internet for societal norms but instead society itself. Societal norms have always been around one way or the other but technology is just the leading factor that helps spread these ideas. For example tools weren't commonplace until they were used more and more over time where it becamea necessary to survive and hunt in a society. Same goes with movies projecting a typical jock or nerd on a screen and is now still the basic representation for those stereotypes.]]> 2018-11-08 06:03:23 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/301904188 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/301904724 I agree with Sydney on the belief that the internet desensitizes us and makes us more ignorant. The internet has personally allowed myself over the past 16 years the see how it's effected my current generation. I see people much more often use the internet to talk to one another instead of face to face, completely cutting out the practice of social skills making us more ignorant when we are forced to use them. ]]> 2018-11-08 06:07:15 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/3w1yrphl5tej/wish/301904724
