Impact of the Internet

39126Author Alan Greenblatt in the “Impact of the Internet on Thinking,” discusses the implications of the web and other forms of technology on how we live our lives, and how we process and understand information, including “whether the Internet is changing the way people think.” In addition, the video by Frontline “Digital Nation” as well as the article by Glazer, discuss some of the additional issues that we face today as we living in a rapidly-evolving technological revolution.
In a causal analysis, mostly focusing on effects, consider how the Internet has impacted life today: How have the internet and other technologies (wi-fi, smart phones, tablets, driverless vehicles, etc) impacted our lives? You may explore the advantages and/or disadvantages of technology (you may include other forms in addition to the Internet) in your own life, in the lives of those you know, or in society in general.
