I think this article is very interesting because doesn’t
focus on the benefits of having the Internet in our lives is, but rather what
the Internet and smart phones are doing to us as a species. This is actually
something that I think about quite often. Mainly being a college student in
this day and age, I’m on the Internet all of the time. Sometimes I’ll be doing
work all day and I haven’t moved from that spot because I’ve been in front of
my computer. It is a little scary to think about the fact that the Internet
really is affecting our developmental cycle as humans. The article goes as far
as to say that we are basically turning into “cyborgs” because we always have
technology on us and were becoming so engulfed in the world of cyber
communication. This articles advice is to not get too attached to our devises
and that we are “still in the honey-moon phase with this technology” and that it’s
going to get worse and worse. I actually can see that point and will say that I
actually agree with it. I think we are getting to dependent these technologies.
Becoming to dependent on anything is dangerous because there is always this
possibility that one day we will no longer have it.
