Tools That Change The Way We Think.

"Back in 2004, I asked [Google founders] Page and Brin what they saw as the future of Google search. 'It will be included in people's brains,' said Page. 'When you think about something and don't really know much about it, you will automatically get information.'

'That's true,' said Brin. 'Ultimately I view Google as a way to augment your brain with the knowledge of the world. Right now you go into your computer and type a phrase, but you can imagine that it could be easier in the future, that you can have just devices you talk into, or you can have computers that pay attention to what's going on around them and suggest useful information.'

'Somebody introduces themselves to you, and your watch goes to your web page,' said Page. 'Or if you met this person two years ago, this is what they said to you... Eventually you'll have the implant, where if you think about a fact, it will just tell you the answer."

Internet, media, and technology does influence the way we think since we use it in everyday life. These tools have provided a source of new information that allows us to learn, grow, and prosper. Each of us has our own point of view and being able to see those within various resources allows me to have a better understand of what I am studying or researching. Now, technology and social media is constantly being attacked for being a bad influence on the younger generation since some believe that technology is blocking their choice of opinion, but I think this is completely ludicrous. We are still able to create our own opinions even if we have the exposure to various points of views.  This may not be the traditional way of learning, but the internet and other technology resources are causing individuals to become less close-minded and more educated with what is going on with society around them.
