What would we do without the internet?
In my point of view, I think that the internet has made things so much easier for people. A person can practically find anything he wants by going on Google. It is one of the best resources to find the answers to all of your questions. We live in a fast pace society and the internet provides us with all of the useful information that a person needs to know. We have become use to this speed and do not realize the impact it has had on our everyday lives. Technology has become a part of life and rarely does anyone not use the internet at least once a day. Nicholas Carr talks about making information more easily available and mention that “research that once required days in the stacks or periodical rooms of libraries can now be done in minutes.” This really proves how much society has improved over the past couple decades. There is actually no end to this advancement. It just keeps getting better and better every day as science keeps coming up with better ways to make our lives easier. It is actually hard to believe how something that took a long to achieve can now be done is a manner of minutes. But in a way, we have become use to this quick pace. Everything revolving around us is moving so fast that even if out internet takes a couple minutes to load, we get frustrated. We do not even have the patience to value internet. For example, my parents came from a time when TV's were looked at as a procession that the wealthy had. But now, TV's are practically in every room of the house since we have become so accustomed to them. But back then they valued them so much and now TV's in a way have become outdated. A person can do practically anything online. So I do not think that the internet has lead to the stupidity of society. In my opinion, it has helped us become more intelligent. We learn more things by researching online and resources help us in out every day lives.
So internet is very useful and is necessary thing to have is today's society.

Hey Ravneet,
I agree with your blog. The internet has been very beneficial to us and we are able to access information faster. I concur that we have adapted to the internet and don't realize how much we use it. However, is this really a bad thing? The internet is another source that we receive new facts and details from, and we can use this in anyway possible. The only thing that worries me about technology is that it's becoming more and more advanced and I wonder if we'll be able to keep up with it? But other than that, I agree that the internet is very useful and allows us to grasp many different things.
