I’m here to write about I think about the essay “ Is Google Making Us Stupid?”

This essay talks about how we are using the Internet too much and how is changing the

way we think. It is propose that when we use the Internet and use search engines that we

are skimming info instead of finding a book and looking for hardcore answers to

answer questions or projects inside words of the text . Which will make us lazy to read or

find info in a book. According to the text one person said that he cant read War and

Peace anymore because now he can only skim the book now according to the passage

that I have read. Now I will give out my two cents about the matter.

In text of this essay the Internet is essentially making us dumb but I believe it just

giving out a helping hand to some that need to work faster . The author of the article

uses sources from a few people he met on a blog that the can read as much as they use

too. Wow! Getting or finding bloggers to say anything is excellent source but I say not !

How am I supposed to trust people on a blog when you can say anything on it not a very

good source. The source with the University College London don’t talk on the matter at

that people do become stupid by using the Internet not so at all . The experiment show

that people do skim their information is true but sometimes skimming over things is

needed. If skimming is bad why is it taught how to do in school so it must be right and

must be an okay thing to do.

It is an understandable idea to believe that Internet is making us stupid because,

we are using it a lot and becoming more dependent upon the use of the Internet . This is a

good argument to go upon but the Internet is just a stepping-stone of our life and meant

to help the people who needs it . There is a time when it start to get out of control and

then people start to let the Internet do thinking for them . The Internet is not meant for

that and by letting the Internet think for you is one of the reasons this essay was made and

I wouldn’t have to be writing this two-page lit response on “Is Google Making Us

Stupid”. The Internet is a great tool to use in life and without technological advance how

can we grow so it is about not taking the Internet with search engines too far . That

means it is good to use the brain every once in a while.


What really got my attention when the article talk about little bit about the

founders of Google Sergy Brin and Larry Paige . According to the article the founders of

of Google what to make Google have an artificial intelligence and to send info

straight into our brain by connecting our brains to the Internet . Me personally I feel like

they are trying to take over our humanity to make us smarter but without intelligence but

with an artificial intelligence. Most likely they are planning to be ahead of the

competition but taking away someone’s humanity for is wrong on so many levels.


In conclusion Google is not making us stupid but is taking over minds instead .

This can go to a philological way of thinking . If you write down every down in your life

how going to make your brain stronger ,faster, and smarter . Also, will this make

lazy if you have to write everything down of remembering with your brain . These

statement have made make myself think even more how we have become dependent

On written information than remembering then I guess I some cases Google have made

us stupid . So what should I do about that ?

I’m here to write a two-page literature on “The Iroquois Creation Story” by

David Cusick . David Cusick was the first Native American to record on his

own the founding myths of his native people . That is one of the reasons his article was

chosen over other version of the creation story of the Iroquois nation . Next, I write

about the myth that will call Cusick creation story but he calls his own work history of

his people .

The Iroquois Creation Story is a story about two brothers one had a good mind

and the other had a bad mind. While the good brother was making the earth a nice place

with good creations such as waters filled with fish, lots of different animals, and animals

that can inhabit the forest. Then, the brother with the good mind made the Indians with

trees growing with fruit on them making their lives like a paradise. While the good mind

was making the universe the bad mind started to make things that can hurt man but the

good fixed it back up as it use to . The bad mind tried to make man but end up making

apes then became envious of his brother for doing something he himself can’ t do.

The bad mind offered a challenge to his brother the good mind that who ever gains

victory in the challenge should govern the universe; and make the appointed day of the

contest. The good accepted the challenge. They both cam e on the day the challenge was

set and for two day tearing up trees and mountains but then the good mind gained

victory over his brother by using a deer’s antlers .The good mind crushed his brother into

the earth and the last words of the bad mind were he would have equal control over souls

after their death. The bad mind sinks down to forever doom and became the Evil Spirit .

After the fight the Good mind repaired the earth, visited the people, and retired on the

earth.

The summary of the creation story is very similar to the story when God kick out

Lucifer from but with a few differences . Lucifer was the worshiper of God angel

But his vanity cloud his mind and wanted to be over God and got an army of angels to

rebel against God . As always-good verses evil wins so Lucifer was kicked of heaven

with all the other angels who followed him was sent to the earth . Now Lucifer got a

new name for him the devil. Now the devil tries to kill people before the can ask God to

them so they can be with him for all eternity.

There was a lot of comparisons in the before creation story of Lucifer to the

Creation Story of the Iroquois . The first comparison was made the bad mind was jealous

of the good mind like how Lucifer was Jealous of how God get to be number one and

he can’t . The Second comparison is that the God beat the devil just like the good mind

defeated the bad mind when they both had fought . The third comparison I’ve found

was that the bad mind was sent to the bottom of the earth like when Lucifer was sent

when he lost and was able to take control of souls when death come a knocking to man.

The final caparison of the two stories is the name change of the two characters of

Lucifer to the Devil and the evil mind into the Evil Spirit . Now to my conclusion

paragraph .

In the two summaries of stories had a lot of thing in common . To myself that is

just the coolest thing to see how it is a small world after all in some cases. Now I

wonder what else I have in common with the world. I will love to know what else I have

in common with different ethic backgrounds I t really does excite me a lot .
