Tools That Change the Way We Think

I believe that the internet has made our generation dependent on technology. But it has also helped us become more informed because of the convienence of the internet and search engines such as Google and DuckDuckGo. We have a world of information at our finger tips. Since the internet incldes social media such as facebook my concentration has gone way down. Its hard to focus on an essay when the internet tab is blinking with facebook updates. It was not that long ago when while writing a research paper included going to the library checking out a book and actually searching through it to find the information needed. Now we can read the link and know if we want to look further into reading it or move on to the next link. This has created a lazy and impatient generation.
