In the article ''Is Google Making Us Stupid?'' by Nicholas Carr the author claims that if the engine ''google'' is some thing intelligent to use or it just our ability to find a lot of information quickly. To begin with a brain scientist have discovered that when our minds are calm and attentive the greater our concentration is the more richer our thoughts are. If we distracted we remember less,we understand less and learn less. Additionally the net bombards us with messages and other different data every one of those interruptions break our train of thoughts. we end up with a lack of connected thoughts. The true is that we never think deeply if we always googling,texting or surfing. Finally google doesn't slow us down in contrary the more we use google the more money its making. The more ads google is showing us the more it gain.As google give us all the information it a negative way to help to develop our mind we have to turn off our cell phones and computers to really start thinking. We can google everything we want but the true is that to be some one very brilliance not even gooling will help you.
One idea in the passage that i thought that is very significant is when the author states that ''If we get distracted, we understand less, remember less and learn less''. I agree with this because if you doing something and suddenly you have a call or message you stop doing what your doing and pay more attention to what have you receive or to who is calling. You forget or don't pay any more attention to what your was doing. I can relate this with me because there sometimes or most of the times that I'm doing homework and if i receive a message i answer back and start texting and don't concentrate doing homework anymore some times i even stop and leave it a side. Also while getting distracted we end up doing the things wrong or for example we don't pay attention to the directions

In the article ''Rewired'' by Rosen,PH.D. Talks about the way people or kids learn. They author gives several reasons on how technologies such as the Internet and mobile devices are use as teaching tools. And how they related them as social life.Firts if school work involves technology's then students need to be directed doing there work for period of time followed by others activities and then back to there studies and the cycle continues until homework is done school work is done with technology or without tech should social networks,texting and other tech pipelines. They considered it there social life and we cannot deny them that with helps them develop and grow. But you can use there love of technology to make school work more fun. An idea in the passage that i think is especially significant is when it states that we can use there love of technolgy to make there school work more fun. I agree with this because in the Internet you can find sites that help kinds and adults to study and learn more about there weaknesses in materials in school. Its less boring using technology there also some sites in the intenet that while playing you are learning. You can have fun and learn with out noticing. Most prefeir to study using technology than reading books. I find that studing by reading books it so boring and it just makes people go to sleep. While using a computer there more things happening. Also in this days when some one wants to know about something they just go directly to search it in the internet. They use technology find it more easy and fast to find the information they want.

According to the article ''Let them eat fat'' by Greg Critser the author claims that eating unhealthy food is not so good to our body because some times we just eat food that our body don't need. The author give several examples of why people go to buy fast food and ignore that they eating unhealthy. To begin with fast food and national restaurants chains like''krispy kreme'' has been criticism by nutrition's and dietitians. But however most of them owned sprinkled in to the stuck portfolios of many striving Americans. For example one of every four hamburgers at Mc Donalds is purchase by inner city costumer.Secondly the cheap meals and the sales ''gimmuck'' also know as ''supersizing encouraged people to go eat to out side there home for example a kid for an extra senty nine cents can order a cheeseburger, small fries and small coke or will said a cheese burger plus a super sized coke and super size french fries. Super sized French fries is more that the weight of a regular order. Thirdly we have to know how many calories we need each day in our body's.Fast food and eating orders like the one with the coke and fries can add up to 680 calories or more than 1.340 calories. According to the very generous U.S dietary guidelines about 1.340 calories represent more than half of a recommended daily caloric consumption. And the added calories are protein poor but fat and carbohydrate rich. Most people don't think of the calories they eat and when they hungry they want something fast. They don't think it twice to go to a fast food restaurant. Although they don't see that they doing a bad to there body and health.And idea that i think is significance in the article is when it talks about the supersizing because sometimes is often that in restaurants they have great deals like a dollar menu or like in Burger King that they have the two for four. It very cheap and people prefer to eat that instead of cooking also they don't waste a lot of money and don't wait a lot to get their order. I have experience this because sometimes when i am very hungry and don't feel like cooking i go out to buy fast food. But after i eat i start thinking how many calories i just eat. But know when i hungry i reject to go out side to eat unhealthy food and instead i eat a plate of cereals with plain low fat milk. also eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. I also has been stop of drinking sodas and liquids that have gas. I drink now water or juice i think that is more healthy.

Tells him that the meatrix is all around him also tell him that is the story were we tell our self about were meet and animals comes also tell him that he lives in a fantaci world.

Second, antibiotic resistant germs were 12 millions pounds of excrement pollutes the air and ground water. That the reason why communities near factory sometimes suffer of high levels of related sicknesses. Third the massive pollution factory farming corporation have been destroying communities since 1950 over 2 millions of hog farms have been disappeared if they keep like that they would not bee any real independent family farm.Finally the matrix is a lie were we tell our self about where our food comes from.

The article ''The net is the real world'' by Jake Simms and Larry Madid. The authors claim that invading other privacy is wrong and could end in tradegys.They give several reasons why invading others can lead to traragys. Firts, Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei were found guity of invating Tyler Clementi pravacy. Ravi activated a wed camara in the dorm that Ravi and Clementi share. Clementi ask for the room till midnigh and Ravi went to Molly room turned on the camara and saw clemeti making out with a dude. Images of Tyler and the man were spread out live on the internet. Clementi had jumped from the top of the Georgina Washington into the Hudson River. New Jersy's privacy law makes it a crime to trasmit or view nude images or sex acts of someone without the person approval Rutgers students were upset and one said ''It my private space'' i expect my privacy to be respect and to be able to do what ever i want.. There should be no one invading my pravacy. Secound Anne Coller pointedout that this story is not about technolgy, but inhumanity. Grag Sandoval made a similar point he said that humans, not machines are responsable for clementi death. Third professor Jonh Suler put it in his free1996 online book ''The psychology of cyberspace'' were people say and put things in the cyberspace that they would not ordinary say or do in the face to face world. It was real for Tlyler because real people were witnessing an intimate act from his dorm room that he had right to assume was taking place in private. In my opinion i think that it inrespectful to invated others privacy because it something personal that people dont have to care or know about what they doing or were they are at. The athors explaned that invating others can have an negative effect like the story of Clementi. A personal experience that

Blog Entry 3.2
The article ''The Cybor Advantage by Clive Thompsson wired magazine'' April 2010. Is about who are smarts people or machines in the days. Several examples were giving to decide. First example was back in the 1997. Where IBM'S Deep blue // super computer beat Garry Kasparou at chess. Deep blue won because these machines can perform endless lighningbots fast calculations and humans cant. They decide that instead of competing why humans and computers work as a team. To find out if this work they created what was call advanced chees where each player were assisted by off the shelf software. Each competition enter a position of there piece into a computer and used the move that the program recommended them. This time the winner was not one of super computers. It was a pair of twenty something amateurs using run of the mill pcs and inexpensive apps.They knew better how to enter moves. They decided it when to consult the software and when to Deni it advise. They were average brained people who are very good at blending their smart with machines. Now in these days most people use a computer to find everything they want to. They find music, movie videos, news, TV programs. They are related to the wed of facebook,hi5,music,videos,news or even t.v programs and other different ones where they get to know people from others different places they chat and make new friend.Most people shop by the Internet. And avoy those long lines to pay or the crow it people that are in the stores. My opinion is that is good that the technology has increase rapidly. Because we can do a lot of things that before we couldn't. Now there a debate about when we should use technology. There is no answer because everyone things differently. Its a personal quest.
