While I agree with this, I also recognize the side that the internet could hinder critical thinking and creativity because technology changes the circuitry of our brains as some circuits and strengthened and others are weakened. When we continuously rely on the internet to store our memories and information, anatomical and functional changes in our hippocampus occur because memories continually weaken. When we do not commit information to memory, the part of the brain involved in creativity diminishes as we do not exercise it. We may also begin to rely on the Internet for ideas and not use our own.]]> 2017-11-16 18:16:07 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207820887 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207821952 1. I believe that the internet neither hinders creativity nor critical thinking. I have, while on the internet, had no problems completing quizzes, nor did I have problems writing stories. I agree with the statement about how the internet can keep the critical thinking along with links to other sources(though these links can be severely off topic.).
2. I believe that society has been made better with the internet. Today, information is literally at your fingertips, and internet has spurred a new generation of media's, games, and ideas. With the internet, the possibilities for improvement are literally endless! Aiden does bring up a good point. The internet is VERY individualized, and differs per person. Though it does have its social uses, it is mostly for the individual. This, however, is more of a problem with Progression, which is an entirely different thing. The internet was a tool created without direction, or purpose, and because of this its capabilities weren't seen at such a grand scale. 
3. I believe that social media is the correct term. I have found and kept in touch with many friends through social media, yet I still am able to interact with others out in the real world.
4. I do agree that the internet causes people to become less moral. The problem, though, doesn't lie in the Internet: it lies within people. When your typing a nasty message at your computer, your mind doesn't register that other people might see that and be offended. You also don't feel the repercussions of such a comment, or at least not immediately. Human to human interaction is very emotional because your mind registers that you are speaking to another human. Looking at a computer, however, you only see an inanimate machine: one without emotions or the ability to respond naturally to your requests.]]> 2017-11-16 18:17:38 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207821952 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207823007 Fiona believes the internet can keep your critical thing on track and improve it. she said she has the personal experience of the internet hindering her English abilities. Aidan has a good point where the internet can teach you how to skim and it helps you get the most important parts instead of useless things. I agree with Abash to a point where skimming doesnt give your brain enough exercise but i would also think that instead of it teaching and exercising your brain in one way with a book, it exercise your brain to what its used to and instead of sticking with old exercises it evolves in a sense. Isabella makes a good point where she can go online and evolve her own creativity with her fashion and she can look online and create her own style based off things she sees. I like how abash uses online donations as a point to use as saying it brings community together and can increase communication. I completely agree with Fiona because morally it does help people understand things better because with the internet you can be exposed to so many things but on the other hand i do agree with molly because some people are not morally good and they use the internet and they can infect the internet with things such as the dark web.

Isabella points out the stunted originality that we believe we are guilty of on the internet is also applicable to everyday life. This brings up deeper philisophical ideas about individuality in general. Is anyone original, or all we all just the result of people we've met and characteristics we admire?]]> 2017-11-16 18:20:51 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207823956 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207824844 I feel as though the Internet can hinder creativity becuase if I can just Google one word and get 20 sources, I don't feel as though I am trying very hard to find information]]> 2017-11-16 18:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207824844 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207825179 - learning to skim is the better to way to go because it improves gaining the information we need and to takes a lot less time
- Getting quick information doesn't help to improve creativity as much as reading the actual text from a book.  I'd have to disagree.  Our creativity doesn't have to base upon reading deep meaningful texts.  They come from our own information.  Getting quick information only acts as evidence to back up your information and creativity.  
- I don't think the internet hinders creativity.  The internet is much more than just getting quick, easy information right away.  There are many people online who post their ideas, facts, and opinions that can help improve and influence your creativity
-  I'd disagree with the fact that the internet has made society "better."  I will say it has improved our minds in terms of knowledge, but it has also made us more hostile towards each other and has caused quite the amount of controversy.  
- molly suggests that the internet is making society more oblivious in terms of knowing the "good" and "bad" people because we don't know what people look up online.

However Fiona repsresents a strong stance towards how their is a difference between "copying" and "inspiring". "Human Nature" as Isabella describes it is also a great way of putting it because people naturally pull ideas from others, and it may hinder our creativity, but it also expands it]]> 2017-11-16 18:26:15 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207827204 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207829595 I agree with Abash because even though social media brings a lot of negativity, it also brings a lot of positive things like raising awareness.

He explains how social media brings news to a broader audience; however, there are problems with this premise as well. Social media, in addition to bringing news to an audience savvy enough to sift through accurate and inaccurate information, it also unfortunately spreads an abundance of misinformation. This can be more problematic than beneficial in many cases. However, spreading awareness about social issues is a major benefit of technology and the internet. ]]> 2017-11-16 18:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207830287 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207831615 I strongly agree with Abhash because he brings up a disaster that happen in Huston how if internet never developed the popularity , where would a bigger outcast come from?. for example lets say we have a tornado , usually we look a weather updates on our phones to see if it's coming out way. Also the internet helps spread news even though it can have its negatives as molly stated . the internet has its pros and cons but the pros can be very effective with the world today]]> 2017-11-16 18:33:49 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207831615 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207832084 I agree with Aidan! The internet is most definitely dumbing us down because we are constantly relying on the internet for ideas and therefore cannot create ones of our own. I use the internet for ideas to aid me on assignments, and I believe that this is hindering my ability to analyze information on my own. ]]> 2017-11-16 18:34:32 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207832084 juleslowman https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207833076 I disagree with Fiona's claim that the internet makes people more empathetic.  Although we are more connected to people around the world, we have become desensitized to the pain of many people.  A retweet or a sad emoji is not enough to help people in a tragedy.  We have become accustomed to seeing terrible news, and convinced ourselves that there is nothing we can do to help.
There will always be progress.

If the internet is taken away, we may not know how to effectively socialize with others in person. We are so used to constantly talking to others online and are good at communicating in this way, but once we aren't able to hide behind a screen and put in front of multiple people to talk, we may be timid and unable to carry out a conversation. Also, the fact that we can hide behind a screen leads to an increase in negative confrontations over the internet and cyberbullying as some people are too cowardly to be mean to others in person.]]> 2017-11-16 18:39:13 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207834834 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207837660 I agree with Leon wen he said you are able to communicate with people and find things out faster.

However, do we start to loose our grip on social interactions as we loose human experience outside of our screens?

I do agree with Leon, and see Matt's point as well. I personally feel as though that social medias can help create relationships. Yes, they do start off on the phone / through the internet, but it sometimes can lead to meeting and eventually sparking a new friendship or relationship. For example, match.com has helped couples all over the world meet. ]]> 2017-11-16 18:44:09 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207838001 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207838168 I agree with Leon's claim that social media should not be called anti social media. He brings up the point how social media is not just a new form of communication that was not possible before. This actually results in more social activity as you interact with many people around the world.
]]> 2017-11-16 18:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207838168 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207838185 i agree with the "not less social but less physical" because it creates an ADDITIONAL form of communication not less instead of not talking to molly from the end of school til the next day i get to talk to her when i get home and in the morning and stuff people only see the fact that im not physically with her and think it is a lacking form of communication but in reality of it is adding to the real social interactions we already have.

-I believe Elyssa makes a good point, the internet helps us stay connected with people in different places.
-I feel as though Carr is only focusing on the negatives of the internet. He does not realize how the internet, and even other forms of technology, can help society advance. We are all connected over social media and we all have access to knew information. Even if all we do is skim, we still have the information in front of us and we can go to new sites for even more information so we are constantly gaining new information and more knowledge.]]> 2017-11-16 18:44:50 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207838400 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/207838586 Leon doesn't think it should it be called antisocial but ant-physical which is an interesting point which i have never heard before which seems like a better resolution because when you are on the internet you aren't able to see the person great point fully agree with you this is better than the anti-social idea because it is true

However, I think that blindly putting our feelings and friendships into the hands of someone behind a screen. They are telling us this information about them- but is it even true? Is the 13 year old who likes video games actually a pedophile? These are things that the internet hides from us.

There could be many factors that affect ones personality  , such as age, as she mentioned how she was more interactive in kindergarden

- I strongly agree with Elyssa's claim that social media can be used to catch up with family or friends that you do not live near, This is very relavent to me as most of my family members live outside of the country.

However, this is a one sided interaction as you are simply viewing a post of what they are doing. The interaction the SOCIAL aspect of that does not exist. That is why I believe that social media should be re-dubbed anti social media.

I agree with what Carr says, that we find ourselves needing that recognition of receiving that text. Katrina then explains the self-absorbed aspect of using social media. I completely agree with what Katrina says. We find ourselves being completely self absorbed. Julia mentions this too.

Are we inadvertently becoming bullies ourselves? We are defending ourselves, yes, but sometimes we lash out too hard. We are becoming what we are scared of. This is easier to do over the internet. This makes me think that maybe we are spoiling our good characters by becoming so absorbed in the online arguments.

As we type upon our computers, we don't realize the consequences of our actions. We don't realize that we are actually conversing with another person, and therefore we don't feel grief or sympathy for the person behind the screen. And, on the subject of you expressing yourself, I agree with this, but, of course, your true self isn't exactly pure. Your true self is in fact animal and wild, and doesn't care for the feelings of others.

Fiona agrees! I disagree; I think that the internet causes people to be less moral. As Carr says, "What makes us most human, Weizanbaum had come to believe, what is least computable about us-- the connections between our mind and our body, the experiences that shape our memory and our thinking, our capacity for emotion and empathy. The great danger we face as we become more intimately involved with our computers-- as we come to experience more of our lives through the disembodied symbols flickering across our screens is that we'll begin to lose our humanness, to sacrifice the very qualities that separate us from machine (Carr 207). As we live our lives on the Internet, we lose our abilities to interpret and react to others' emotions as interactions and emotional exchanges become minimal. When we do interact with others, we do not know what is right to say and do. Also, online, we are so invested with ourselves and competition with others on social media and in videogames that we lose our sense of morality in how to treat others.]]> 2017-11-20 18:10:52 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/208831649 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/208831654 I agree with Fiona that the internet allows people to show their true personality, and that the internet does not have to necessarily be a platform for evil.]]> 2017-11-20 18:10:52 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/208831654 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/208831710 2017-11-20 18:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/208831710 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/208832784 Mokeira believes since the internet can be anonymous it shows someoens true colors which shows their morals

Different people have different ways of absorbing information some people who prefer to read a book are visual learners while those who may listen are audible learners. So I would argue that books on cd or on the internet are an amazing invention as they allow multiple learning types to enjoy the same book.

A person who doesn't care about deep reading isn't going to waste their time doing it, and a person who does like to read deeply will read deeply.

I don't think that we can accurately acquire information by just reading information quickly on a screen. Like Fiona says, we would only remember it for only a day or a moment after we read it. When we deep read, we remember it for a long period of time and become more involved in what we are reading. People are becoming so accustomed to skimming; "the more they use the Web, the more they have to fight to stay focused on long pieces of writing [...] Even a blog post of more than three or four paragraphs is too much to absorb" (Carr 7). Deep reading has become a struggle for many and this will later affect society as people will not have as many memories in their minds or be able to focus as well. Their minds are scattered and only look for the quickest answers; therefore, it is diminishing our intellect, our attention spans, and the ability to appreciate the entire work. ]]> 2017-11-20 18:19:31 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/208835592 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/208835617 I agree with Molly that some people will still choose a traditional book over technology because it allows for a different reading experience and a deeper understanding]]> 2017-11-20 18:19:35 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/208835617 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/208836115 I hear what Molly is saying.

As time has gone on, the number of ads on each website has increased by around 60%.
When people start to sponsor webpages, especially research sites, there becomes a lo of bias. The websites will favor the views of the companies giving them money. This is part of the corruption in our system. Using money to sway the ideas of individuals. I think that this makes the internet much less reliable.

Not everything on the internet is reliable. You need to be able to identify what is and isn't reliable, as well as whether that source is recent, biased, e.t.c. On another note, I find the comment on the recipe's and deep reading as very inaccurate to the reality of deep reading. I have never deep read my cook book. I just look for a recipe and I'm done.

People need to simply not argue over whether the internet is good or bad but need to learn how we can adapt our behavior to check ourselves and maintain our morality. For example, the internet can diminish deep reading, but as people in society, we need to learn how to ignore distractions and still be able to sit down and intensely read a book. The internet should not completely ruin our intellect and our abilities to remember information and deep read.

I completely agree with her. I think that if someone wants to use GPS, go ahead. If they want to use a map, go ahead.

I agree with his perspective on this because many people do read the full article and pick it apart or annotate it. The internet gives you many options, so if you want to skim the reading then you can, but if you want to fully read it then you can also do that.

Deep reading may have changed but it is still possible to deeply think and interpret through the internet.  Is the internet really that different from books?

But one of my main problems with The Shallows is Carr's lack of representation. Those in low socio-economic areas aren't even relevant to him, their lives aren't relevant to him, so why would include them in his book? As I read this, there was always something in the back of my mind hinting that he only really ventures into the Middle Class Straight White Guy mindset.

It's ludicrous to make a sweeping statement that the internet is the only area that fosters negativity, or even that it's more negative than the news or even real life. The internet gives people a place to be negative with no real facts to back it up, it gives people a place to say whatever they want because there's no real confrontation. But real life has its fair share of negativity too. As Rebecca said,  there has been negativity present in every generation. The internet gives people an easy place to put their negativity, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen offline too. ]]> 2017-11-25 15:55:03 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/210045260 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/210045379 Is society better today becauseof the internet? I truly do not know. There's no way for me to see how society would be today without it. Of course you can look back to before the internet but still, even without the internet society would still be different than it was. Society pre-the internet is too far behind to be able to tell what hypothetically would've happened.  ]]> 2017-11-25 15:56:01 UTC https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/210045379 https://padlet.com/BCPSkdougherty/7l6uhlpdtxvb/wish/210194934 Katrina mentioned in an earlier post about how she believes the internet hinders critical thinking and creativity because of the way our brain is being rewired, and that parts of the brain aren’t being exercised enough because we rely on the internet too much for easy access to information. I agree that this may apply to most people, however I’d like to present the point that the internet may actually be fostering a new type of critical thinking for those in computer science. While this may be a slim percent of people, these people use the internet to code and design their own websites, which I personally find to be an impressive form of critical thinking and creativity because quite frankly, to me, computers just seem like magic boxes. I do overall agree with Katrina, it’s just this topic in general sparked this example in my head.

Whether or not there may be more negativity on the internet doesn’t cancel out the good things. The internet has a way of connecting people together who share similar and very specific interests. Are you a fan of Harry Potter and Star Trek crossover alternate universes? Well then there’s most likely a group of people just like you with a fan page where you can connect with them, although you may have otherwise felt isolated about your interests if you hadn’t had made that connection. Yes, the dark web is a whole world connecting people through probably immoral and illegal things, but the internet still has a lot more innocent usages that people can benefit from, even if its something that seems as silly as meeting some new nerd friends.

As a student with too much work and too little time, I agree that sometimes skimming a text for key information in order to finish my homework or prepare for class is usually the way to go. However, I can also guarantee that the information I skimmed rarely stays with me. Maybe I’ll be able to know the concept for a day or two, but if the concept was on a cumulative exam down the road, I’d surely flunk that exam. Sometimes concepts may not always go in with deep and comprehensive reading, but you’re chances of remembering and understanding the concept is much higher.

While I agree we should not fear the internet I believe his idea to adapt to the issues of the internet is a bit too idealistic. I’m going to provide an example that may seem random, but I feel as though it connects. While I was at Princeton Model Congress I was in the Science and Technology Committee and a bill that was introduced was one to ban all sex offenders and sexual predators from using social media. Everyone agreed with the sentiment of this bill, however the more we debated over it the more we began to realize that it may just not be feasible with the technology we have right now. In order to ban sex offenders all social media companies would require a list of the sex offenders and be expected to have something in their sign up page to prevent these people from being able to create accounts. But an issue with that is that people could always lie or hack. Another issue we found was that there’s no such program that currently exists that would be able to monitor and suspend chats that contain sexual harassment in private forums or mediums such as Snapchat. This all ties into the my point that the internet may not be such an easy thing to adapt to or solve problems for.

I agree that this seems like a good solution, but the best connection I can make is that making the switch to memorizing now would almost be like America having to learn the metric system. The whole world uses the metric system, and it’d be more beneficial for scientific study, however adults who were raised learning the customary system would have an extremely difficult time converting. For better or for worse, (maybe worse), I believe we already rely too much on the internet to start memorizing our information now. Perhaps there could be hope for rising generations, but as my younger sister in middle school has a tablet she was given just for school, I doubt that that may happen.

Rather, I think that it may be the distraction of the internet that causes skimming. I know for me personally skimming is cause by more of a time constraint, but I think distraction also plays a role in most people’s skimming. Webpages with articles tend to be loaded with either advertisements or links to more articles. There may be almost a sense of urgency to grab the information you were looking for in one article in order to click on the next, trying to entertain your shortened attention span. This tends to lead to a lot of information crammed into your short term memory, in which the magic number is seven plus or minus two. If you were to immerse yourself into an entire rabbit hole of clicking on new articles, you’re sure to lose some of the information you may have skimmed.

I already have trouble sleeping as it is, and have a tendency to wake up a couple times a night. I may grab my phone to check the time, but then I’ll see a notification I had missed and I’ll look at it or reply to some texts and suddenly before I know it I’ve been up for about a half hour or hour. It definitely affects my sleep cycle and an unstable sleep cycle definitely affects my mood and energy.
