Just Google it!

Carr's article "Is Google making us Stupid" summed up how people are today. We look for the quickest way to get information without having to do all of the work. I even felt myself doing what he is criticizing while I was reading this article. Many times I would find myself skimming over the material. A lot of the material in the article seemed unnecessary and empty of important information, which leads to the reader just skimming through the paper and missing some crucial information that would have us develop other ideas.

Internet has trained us to look for the easy answer and get it the quickest way possible.

Literacy is now just being able to use the internet to search for an answer. Someone may seem smart, when in fact they have just found a little information on the internet.

Internet has made people more like each other and robots, where everyone has the same answers and nothing is left to be determined by the reader.

Curr uses the printing press, assembly line, and computers as examples.

The evidence provided was not effective, all of the things he mentioned bettered society and improved the way we lived.

Curr says that his worrisome opinion may be wrong, but he is saying that the internet is taking away the individual thought process and turning us in to robots.

Media Tattoo

     I feel that on social media I represent myself as a well behaved, Christian, athletic, and conservative person.
     One of my videos is of the Auburn football team running up to the student section after the game. This shows my love of sports and love of my school. A photo of me wakeboarding gives an example of my athleticism. I have many pictures from Passion 2012 that shows my faith. Then a few political post that might seem a little irrational.
     I believe I represent myself well on social media, except for some of the political messages that I have "Liked" or "shared".
     Now that I am in AFROTC I have to remain censored on any political dispute that could be see as disagreeing with the President or not being loyal to our government.
     If I were to be handed printouts, there is no doubt in my mind I would still get the job. While I was not as careful about political agendas I was very careful of other public appearances. For the most part my "Media Tattoo" fits me well.

"'Like' Me Baby One More Time"

     I am doing my unit 3 assignment on Britney Spears. Through Britney's controversial pictures and past drug abuse, even up to her kids, her Facebook is full of how she feels and what she is doing. Britney's Facebook page shows what her whole life is about and can give an accurate portrayal of who she is.
     Britney has pictures of her kids and friends on her wall. this shows the family side of her. She also has her music posted, which she spends most of her time doing. Then, there are also pictures of Britney modeling. All of theses aspects makes Britney Spears a prime account to analyze.
