new world of the new generation

from what i understand of the "frontline: growing up on the internet" was how the newer genration has become apart of a need of acceptance, and that the older generation must get use to that fact. the global particapation on the web from a scientifc stand is unavoidabul, and will contiue untill every need is met. let me clarify, peoples need for the web will cause it to expand and as it expade more of it is needed by the people. this cycle will contiue until everything we could whant of the internet is given to us (i.e. movies and/ shows in a continus stream with a high resolution). as a result of everything i have just said, the new world is online and every one is looking for a sanctuary in this new world.

being apart of this generation i have found that i do not belong to it. why, because i have no real need of it. i will only use the internet for information and games, anything else i find as an excusie for people to be free in their own minds and not in reality. another reason why is simply i am just too old (mentaly). i don't text, blog, or even email, and my pearents do this all the time. so has the internet affected my life, yes but the people have affected it more.

us stupid? from google no less?

i know, i know no one likes being called stupid, but that not the point of writer Nicholas Carr. what he is simply stateing is how we tend to look for spacific information when we research things on the internet and in real life, so we don't tend to take in the infromation. he qoutes someone about others like him and one of them states [“I was a lit major in college, and used to be [a] voracious book reader,” (scott karp) ](par 5). while this refers to other english he has also found some information relating to avereg people like you and me. "They found that people using the sites exhibited [“a form of skimming activity,”] hopping from one source to another and rarely returning to any source they’d already visited. They typically read no more than one or two pages of an article or book before they would [“bounce”] out to another site."(par 7). He also adds an ionteresting qoute from a woman named, Maryanne Wolf, and the qoute is [we are not what we read... we are how we read](8/9 par)
