Tools that change the way we think

Technology and the internet are amazing tools, but they are also a big distraction. everyone has a smartphone, iPod, or access to the internet so we are always distracted; everything is literally at our fingerprints. Like Kayla said, this generation relies way too much on technology, social media, and the internet. We don't really do much for ourselves to the point where we thing about things ourselves and use our knowledge and imagination.We think every answer is at our fingerprints, But Not everything as we think. We think that when we Google something EVERYTHING pops up, but it doesn't. Watching the Ted talk video was really eye opening because I knew that was happening, but it hadn't really hit me. People think they can just post whatever they want on the internet and that it won't matter, but it does. This generation and every future generation would be so much better off if we didn't rely so much on the internet and technology, I feel like people would be smarter because to most people these things are a distraction. It should be a helpful resource but sadly that is not the case most of the time.
