Google informs....and does an End run around the Lies of the MSM.
The Internet Breakthru was the VIDEO internet revolution. Words could not compete with the Boob tube, but when Videos showed up on your PC, and all the "tech" capability became rampant....MSM started Dying. They can't compete with the Entertainment of the Internet.
RIP, MSM.
The article express's some fears that the Internet will stop people from reading....yet Barnes and Noble keeps building Bigger Stores.
Because ....after all....The Internet online Storage devices do NOT contain 100% of the World.
I've been online with Computers since the 70's, 8 hrs a day at a 3270 device, 8 hrs a day at a PC......but Life calls you away.....Internet connections are over rated.
Walking the Grand Canyon, water skiing, Graduation, the Prom, the Mustang GT, Golf, Soccer, football, all pulling you away from GOOGLE.
Me thinks Google Protests too much.....The world does not yet revolve around a Search Engine....But if Gas hits 10 $'s a Gallon, I reserve the Right to reconsider.
Google Gives you hundreds of connections.....too much information on subjects that do not interest you. yes, you start reading...and then lose interest. You click out and move on....UNTIL...you hit that subject that you REALLY like.
It's like searching the Library....you glance at a Title, you lose interest....on the Internet, you glace at the WHOLE article, pull a Review, Get a related Video, look at the Rankings/Ratings, and then you lose Interest.
It's just a more In Depth Glance at the Library Book Title...powered by the PC.
Jesus said in the "last days" that "knowledge would increase" and people would "run back and forth". Is this "increase in knowledge" prophecy fulfilled by the Internet and the vast knowledge that is now at our "finger tips" (our keyboard) when we google on a subject or key words? And also, do we not "run back and forth" as we commute back and forth to work, typicially at far greater distances than people "commuted" to work in Jesus' day, and now even a far greater number of women as well?
Back in the early sixties when I was in high school I was already surfing and that was waaay before the internet was a gleam in algores eye. I used to grab a random volumn from the encyclopedia rack and just start thumbing through to see what I'd run across.
Google and the internet give me information instantaneous. It helps me in business and it helps me in my personal life. Moreover, it has given me news outside of newspapers and the leftist tv networks.
It doesn't occur to this guy that the fact that he can't seem to get into a book is HIS problem. He just HAS to find someone else to blame.
This is a typical example of today's "It's not my fault" mentality.
Since he uses anectodal evidence for his claim, allow me to refute it: I spend quite a lot of time online, using Google for quick bits of research all day long. Yet I regularly read quite a large number of books, and I have no trouble at all getting into the stories.
The anecdotal story is his segue to learning of others with similar findings which leads to a discussion on research findings and a discussion on neural effects and ' “intellectual technologies”'.
So, not so much 'looking for someone to blame' but pointing out research that shows it is a widespread phenomena. Note also that he points out the effects of this “intellectual technologies” is more pronounced on younger learners.--"And the media or other technologies we use in learning and practicing
the craft of reading play an important part in shaping the neural
circuits inside our brains."
