The internet does ruin creativity with originaltiy, but only helps critical thinking with endless resources to help you with any type of project or essay or information needed.

I believe creativity is gained because you can go online and gain ideas. The internet gives people the crutch that they may need in order to reach their full potential creativity wise. I will say that critical thinking is harder to come across when looking on the internet. Like Sebastian said earlier, the internet is causing us to just typing a single word instead of actually sitting and analyzing the topic.

Gracie added the point that using webpages can also boost creativity by cross referencing others ideas.

Yes using other people's ideas is not creative, but it leaves room for personal interpretation and turning it into something that satisfies you.

I think that the internet can be considered a distraction because often times we become so immersed in our technology we forget the task at hand or we feel like we don't need to do the hard work if all the answers are online.

The internet may be distracting for some people, but I know when I need to concentrate on my reading, I'll turn off my device.

Cal said using the internet as a tool to think can absolutely help us solve problems. I think that the internet can both boost our ability to critical think but also hinder it depending on wither the person is lazy or not.

I think everyone critically thinks different things; what they critically think about depends on the person. I think that everyday we use critical thinking, we just don't realize it.

The world, the society, everything around us is advancing so quickly for us not to use the internet. Books are rarely used. For our burning issue project, we are only required to have one book.

Many argue that social media prevents people from having legitimate social interaction, and complain when they see a group of people on their phones ignoring one another.

Zoe is talking about how people are so much more willing to bully online than in person. I disagree with Cal because he is saying how bullying in general is just as big of a problem as online. This isnt true. Bullying online is a huge problem and its worse because it can be anonymous and people are more affected this way because those being bullied are normally alone and this causes higher rates of suicide. Bullying in school can easily be prevented because people can see that but online its harder to catch the person who is doing the damage.]]> 2017-11-17 13:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208088003 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208088211 I agree with both Grace and Zoe. Grace mentioned all the positive resources on the internet to help counteract the negativity and many people look towards that for help, however, there is still cyberbullying as Zoe mentioned. As Savannah  and Zoe said, it's a lot more easy to cyberbully than it is to bully someone in real life because people are hiding behind a screen instead of facing face to face.

Many people are afraid to say certain things and hide behind a screen to avoid confrontation. Social media does provide an anonymous outlet which often may foster negativity, an example of this would be cyberbullying. I agree with Zoe's argument. ]]> 2017-11-17 13:34:35 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208088227 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208088281 I agree with Cal's statement that people are not bad just because they have social media, however I feel like this statement misses the point that Zoe, Savannah, and Gracie are trying to make. This point is that cyber-bullying is infinitely times easier online and behind a screen.

He asked are you a worse person for having an Instagram? It truly depends on who you are and how you use it. If you make an anonymous account to talk about people because you're scared to do so in person? Yes, that does make you a worse person. You're a fraud. Catfishing and making accounts to get people to pay you for items you will never deliver, that does indeed make you a worse person.]]> 2017-11-17 13:35:12 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208088489 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208088863 Savannah makes the point that bullying is a much bigger issue on the internet because people can hide behind a face of anonymity. Gracie says that with the more social media usage, the more people compare themselves to others. This can cause depression and self-esteem problems. I agree with this because most of my friends do this.]]> 2017-11-17 13:36:02 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208088863 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208089079 I also think that the Internet helps people make connections and meet  new people.

I agree, yet disagree with this because social media is not human interaction. This does not foster actual social skills in reality with people. You are communicating through a computer, rather than face to face communication. However, I do see where Zoe is coming from. I think that the argument can go both ways. ]]> 2017-11-17 13:38:19 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208089845 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208090073 2017-11-17 13:38:47 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208090073 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208091677 Olivia brought up how people think that the internet causes or increases people skimming but she was right, even before technology was developed, people skimmed novels and personally i think the quick and sudden answers that the internet gives us actually diminishes the need to skim.

This is because the internet allows one to gain necessary information needed to "formulate and articulate ideas" (Carr, 44-45). How we process the information we retain from the internet allows one to critically think and analyze the world we are in.

I agree to some extent because the internet does foster negativity sadly because I have seen so many posts trash talking other people or I hear people threatening another person to expose them or leak stuff online, but I also agree about what Allison said about the internet fostering positive actions. For example, when the two kids got jumped last week, I saw so many posts on the Loch Raven snap story voicing their concerns and feelings towards the situation, and the next day I saw people talking and befriending the two kids so that was great to see.]]> 2017-11-17 13:42:42 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208091940 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208091999 I agree with Vinny, it honestly depends on the person when it comes to deep reading and if you are interested and invested in a topic, you can still read efficiently and fully. ]]> 2017-11-17 13:42:51 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208091999 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208092063 I agree with Vincent. As a child (this most likely applies to many) I read practically everyday and all the time. I loved reading. Now I only read when I'm obligated to, against my will. I miss how much I enjoyed reading, but books I'm forced to read diminish my will to read on my own due to lack of interest. However, do we no longer read due to lack of interest or is it because we have difficulty keeping focus? I think it's because of both.]]> 2017-11-17 13:42:59 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208092063 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208092065 I agree with Andrea and Savannah that many people, including myself simply skim for information from search results.

The internet did not invent skimming. I think with the way society is changing we are taught to skim. Teachers ask us to answer questions, and give us page numbers with the answers.  This is not necessarily a bad thing because jobs now  a day are more fast paced and answers need to be correct, and fast.

At this age we have a lot going on and even as adults we do not have time to sit down and read a book. As teens we have four papers due on the same day assigned the same day. We need to prioritize what we do and how we do it. Adults have to work and then take care of their children. The internet isn't causing the need for skimming a text but the work that is assigned to us and not having enough minutes in the day.

The Internet allows things to pop up and distract you from what you were looking at on the Internet, but if you're reading a book, you can curl up and put the distractions away. But i also agree with the fact that it depends on the person reading, because like Vinnie's brother, I love to curl up with a book and stay away from my phone and computer because checking social media and trying to keep up with all the new ways to be connected gets tiring.

We dont skim things that interest us but most of the time, the useful stuff we read doesnt interest us. 

I agree with what Vinny said. The outlines are torture and skimming really helps when we do those them. I for one dont even do the outlines anymore and i just skim for knowledge and use it on the test because thats more efficient for me than writing out a two page outline.]]> 2017-11-17 13:45:29 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208093367 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208093757 In reference to Vinny's observation that he is now less able to deep read even in his free time as his mind never seems to slow down.

We can deep read on the internet and then when we are done go through other resources about that topic. When we read a book we are stuck with what we have. In order to go deeper you choose the internet or another book. To read another book is difficult.

What you remember doesn't determine how smart you are. We have common sense and problem solving that help us get through life. Facts aren't going to transport you through life. Being able to interact with others will. Social media is a great way to interact with more people and get your ideas out there.

I agree with this because every single day things are changing and facts are being more developed and if we need to know something, we need to get relevant information and if we look something up, we wish to find an answer that we are unsure of.

She explained that we shouldn't have to hold all of the new ideas we have in our heads, and that now we have a way to keep them downloaded forever for others to see and help them create more thoughts. Of course the way we think has changed; generations are always changing no matter what the time period is, and that would have happened whether the Internet was present or not. ]]> 2017-11-17 13:55:10 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208097939 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208098087 I disagree with Kat when she said that we can access resources online all the time. That might be true in the US, but there are countries out there that don't have internet. I know my little cousins in Vietnam don't have access to the internet.

Technology is always evolving with us. But is this a good or bad thing? Will technology soon take over all aspects of the way we think or has it already? Carr claimed on page 209 that " The more we use it, the more we mold ourselves to its form and function." I think that we have already started to mold ourselves to the technology we use. We wake up with an alarm on our phone, we have important pictures videos ( our memories) on our phone ,  we are strongly emotionally connected to our phone.

Inside i can have a screw driver, a hammer, and wire cutters. There is no point in life using one tool.

People have been horrible to each other since the very beginning. For example, WW2 was terrible, slavery was horrible, and in the 1960s when white people would beat and harass them just for their skin color was horrible. Another example would be people harassing LGBTQ+ people just for the way they are. Hate and bad morals have always been in society, it is just more expressed on the internet. ]]> 2017-11-17 13:57:50 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208099255 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/208099803 Vincent says the part of our brain we exercise more is the part of our brain that gains the most power. I believe this to be true as our brains our constantly molding to the changes we make within our lives due to neuroplastity.

Bad people with be bad people. Good people will be good. Humans are not becoming more immoral over time, i think we are just able to see more of it because of the internet. For example, the internet allows us to see current events all over the world, good and bad, so we are more involved in society.

They can further develop what they are already living by.

Although I do not agree with the fact that as a society we have not changed as people.

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.

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.

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.

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.]]> 2017-11-21 13:52:54 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/209086274 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/209086311 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. ]]> 2017-11-21 13:52:58 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/209086311 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/209086498 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. ]]> 2017-11-21 13:53:23 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/209086498 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/209086900 i can see view the argument from both sides and there will always be a negative view to one side. ]]> 2017-11-21 13:54:11 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/209086900 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/209086943 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.]]> 2017-11-21 13:54:18 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/209086943 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/209087324 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.]]> 2017-11-21 13:55:03 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/209087324 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/209087373 If we did start replacing humans with robots in workplaces, what happens if we go to far?]]> 2017-11-21 13:55:09 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/209087373 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/209087655 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.]]> 2017-11-21 13:55:50 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/209087655 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/209087715 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.]]> 2017-11-21 13:55:59 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/209087715 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/209089307 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]]> 2017-11-21 13:59:20 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/209089307 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/6hozhf8wx18o/wish/209089875 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.

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.
