We live in a world that is fundamentally run by the Internet. We use it every day, multiple times in various ways. We use it to keep up to date with the latest news, to watch movies and shows, to listen to music, to do research for our latest assignment and even to simply look up the latest topic our mind is wandering about. Google is there to help you with all this. Google is a search engine created in September 1998 by two doctoral students. students at Stanford University (Google, 2014). According to the Stanford University webpage, Google started with just forty gigabytes that were all stored on a hard drive made out of Legos, that hard drive is now on display at the University. Due to the small storage space that Google started with, their site only contained twenty-six million pages, which may seem like a lot, but it is nothing compared to the thirty trillion (Statistic Brain, 2014) that Google had in 2014. . Some people believe that Google has limited our learning and does not allow us to learn in the usual way. An article published by The Atlantic went viral in 2008, Nicholas Carr wrote the piece that essentially said he felt like online search engines were giving him a temporary education that would go away when his mind wandered to the thought next. “It's clear that users don't read online in the traditional sense; Indeed, there are signs that new forms of “reading” are emerging as users horizontally “flip” through titles, content pages and abstracts trying to get quick results. It almost seems like they go online to avoid reading in the traditional sense." (Carr, 2008). This is not true. Google gives us the opportunity to learn things that, without the progress of this technology, we could... middle of paper... thank him. This is now the way our world works, we are able to quickly search for information and form new ideas thanks to this site. The way our world learns is changing and we all need to adapt to this new way. Although some people suspect that Google is making us stupid, it is only because not all of us have adapted to this new learning technique. We are fortunate enough to have everything we are looking for at our fingertips, but because we have so much information so easily accessible, we need to be able to absorb the information we are given. Google cannot become a temporary source of quick information that gets thrown away as soon as our thinking changes, it is a learning tool, allowing us to know and do more. It simplifies our lives and frees up time for the most important things in life, experiences.
