The Internet and the technological devices of today have made me able to retain information because mostly all of the information is online. It is an easy accessible way to gain information on any subject matter that an individual may need at that moment. It was interesting to see how Tim Berners-Lee explained his thought process regarding data and the World Wide Web he created himself. Even though we are able to gain more knowledge about numerous things, the online world can make us lose our sense of reality as well as become more dependent on it as well. Like in connection to the “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” article, in where people are becoming so used to using the Internet as the easy way out that most people aren’t using their brains to exercise them.
For me it was definitely difficult to not use Google and Instagram because those are the two media platforms I use the most. Google to be used for homework and my own curiosity while Instagram to be used for my own entertainment. These types of media platforms are sort of like addictions that a person can’t really stop using and get away from.
