the question

When posted with the question “has the internet changed the way we think?” I had to sit down and think of a time that was before the internet. The shocking thing is I have never been without the internet or computers. To some people this may be very odd to others this could be a normal statement. So I browsed the articles to see what others have been saying, and I find one titled “we are changing the way the internet thinks”. The article is very interesting; it has a good take on what the internet has become and how it has affected us. The internet and I have an intertwining relationship and I feel that people had much to do with how the internet is how it is today then we think. We shaped the web to fit our ever growing needs, our ever growing minds, and our ever growing ambitions. The internet has not changed us, and the people who think that are the men and women who refuse to accept that the world is in the twenty first century of technology. In the article he explains that the internet is becoming an “ever-growing conversation”, which in fact is very true with all of the new social sites that are out there. We share everything with everyone we are all connected; literally. We do think as we always have, it is just in its condensed internet form, and this is where some people might get the notion that the internet is changing our mind.
