8-23-11 In-class writing
In the essay Is Google Making Us Stupid? the part that stood out most to me would be paying attention while reading books. It talked about how this guy worked on computers daily and would find himself losing focus more quickly. As I was reading the essay, it was hard for me to stay focused on the text because I was so distracted by other things such as the Internet. I also found it interesting that the essay states how companies want to "drive us to distraction." Personally, it's working.

Speaking of distractions, I have my Facebook and Pandora open while I am trying to read your reading response! I also agree to a certain extent that media and technology definitely make it more difficult to concentrate on simple tasks. However, I wouldn't say, though, that it is taking away our ability to think deeply and read long texts. If I have a research paper due, chances are...I will get it done! :D
