·         As I was reading this article, it felt like it was jumping around but yet keeping on the same topic. However after a while I lost where I was because it all sounded the same. I did stop a few times wondering what Dave was talking about and how he thinks someone is messing with his mind and how he used to be able to read a book easy but now it is hard for him to concentrate.

·         This article was very interesting with reasons why someone would think they are going stupid over a website. My reaction at first was this guy is crazy, however after you get further into the article , your now wondering if Dave is right and how Google is making us stupid.

·         “Maybe I’m just a worrywart. Just as there’s a tendency to glorify technological progress, there’s a countertendency to expect the worst of every new tool or machine.”  People are worrywarts all the time, depending on what it is. Personally I worry about everything, my mom once told me,” Rashel you just need to only worry once and stop worrying because worrying doesn’t do anything but stress you out.” Which it is very true worrying causes stress and we all do not need stress because of one little thing. Another thing she told me was never sweat the small stuff. Only worry about big things.

·         “The idea that our minds should operate as high-speed data-processing machines is not only built into the workings of the Internet, it is the network’s reigning business model as well.”  If only this was true then we would all have it easy with everything, bills would be done on time, figuring out math more would be a lot easier and people wouldn’t think anything about internet sites causing us to be more stupid then the human race is already. People would think its natural.

·         “The more pieces of information we can “access” and the faster we can extract their gist, the more productive we become as thinker.” I like this quote because he is correct. People think just because they have the internet access means they can be the smartest person alive, yet everything that is on the internet isn’t all true, you can find a fact somewhere on one site, then go to another on and it is false.
