Professor Susan Greenfield has been doing a study on the "question of whether and how our current use of computers is changing the way our brains work" and has come to the hypothesis that "the visual stimulus we get from screen-based information and entertainment differs so markedly from that available to pervious generations that certain areas of the brain . . . may be affected in ways that express themselves a changes to personality and behavior." Then there is a gentleman last name Carr who's main goal is to determine if weather or not Google is making us stupid, when the average human being spends hours online updating their Facebook status and Twitter posts. Carr argues that Google is only helping him grow smarter in the best possible way that a human can grow smarter.
Google is one of the few search engines that is capable of assisting many different age groups and genders in entertainment, games, e-mail and news up-dates all under one web page. It has become somewhat of a comfort zone to many people in the form of internet accessibility and dependance. With the opportunity to search any article on any particular subject at any given time makes for a reliable and convenient choice for the daily researcher or hopeless college student.
Google's Rumored GDrive May 'Kill' the PC
Rummer has it that the GDrive, created by Google, may finally "launch" this year with "some tech news sites calling it the "most anticipated Google product so far". What this GDrive is created to do is to turn peoples focus away from the Microsoft Window's operation system to the point of where users would not have to depend on their PCs powerful hard drives. The majority of business and households have turned to using web-based services, like e-mail, photo storages, and outreach sites such as Myspace and Facebook, therefore computers are very relevant in todays society. This GDrive would help a PC double act as a portal to the internet to assist users with their growing demand for cloud computing. This could be either something very good for peoples easier access, or very harsh on the PC companies. Either way, you can not make everyone happy, so you just aim to please the consumers that will input revenue into the society.
