Being without social media was not stressful at all but reading all the articles made me more interested in educating myself and understanding the future of technology. I strongly believe that the internet and devices have made me unable to retain information because I am very dependent of Google , Apps and my phone. I set reminders, alarms, prepare schedule, google everything! I can strongly feel a connection to Nicholas Carr, “Is Google Making Us Stupid”. Definitely felt a connection to this article because I understand how much of my reading is being affected. I feel I am constantly skimming on the internet and now when I actually do pick up a book to read I do not read as many pages as before I began to feel tired. This article was definitely an eye opener.
Moving forward, the articles “Why The Future Doesn’t Need Us” by Bill Joy and ” The Great Wall of Facebook: by Fred Vogelstein also prove that it is a growing platform that will only continue to make us more dependent on technology. I believe the world will only become more futuristic especially from what was expressed in these articles we can see that some way somehow humans will solemnly rely on technology whether it is, social media, different Networks, or robots. This will cause us to retain less and less. We have also lost so much information and internet websites and have also grown and expanded in opportunities by Anil Dash in “The Web We lost”. There is an incredible shift from our old facebook and google servers as well as apps. These networks can be very valuable to society but indeed it has, for me become harder to retain information.
