INTERNET MAKES US SMART OR MORE SILLY ?
1990 The internet was a matter of rich
countries which became a new global challenge of having connectivity to the
entire human race. The society of "those without connectivity"
emerged. In developing countries we were still dealing with "MOUSE" the
device… and we were concentrated in learning about the new version of DOS.
1995, the internet was a challenge for the
adults and a new race track for younger. Any places in different parts of the
world were nearer, and in seconds they communicated with their relatives and
friends living on the other side of the planet. The connection speed was a factor
to improve.
Since 2003 internet became a mastering tool, a
source of data and query space publishing important information and likewise
the space for the sale of pornography and computer viruses that emerged in circulation.
2006 Music and movies online became the new
distraction from those people more technically able. Virtual tours and the services
GPS generalized the phrase
"recalculating" . It was necessary to
monitor the hours that workers spent at the office connected to the internet,
because it became as an obsession that influenced and reduced the quality and
productivity.
2008: The Internet makes you stupid (and
distracts above)
The tool approached to banks and thus to e-commerce.
Then arose hackers and online crimes. Social networks emerged and became a
space that could be invasive of the privacy of each to the extent. To uploading photos, personal messages and tipped
know the daily personal agenda.
Since the internet for those years exceeded
that offered by cable and Wireless was later called wi-fi, wherever you go and you
can be connected.
2014: The Internet makes you smarter or not?
Personally, I think it helps you to be smarter or live more confused. That
depends on the dedication of everyone for reflection, proper selection and
pursuit of RELIABLE information.
From Clive Thompson, (Canada, 1968), columnist
for The New York Times and Wired and author of Smarter than you think: how
technology is changing our minds for the better is planted. He explains three
changes: connecting ideas (our brain is good at giving context to the bits of
information we receive on the Internet), the extended memory (like the phones
do not learn because they are mobile, let part of your memory in other tools ,
either a hard disk or Twitter favorites ) and the infinite possibility of
publication. And above all, the golden age we live to teach with search
criteria.
Thompson: "Teaching Internet search is an
opportunity to teach critical thinking " If we receive constant digital 'environmental
awareness', the publication is infinite and there storing all tools , the
challenge is to know:
a)
how these
tools work , from the logic behind why the notifications out about results and
not others and
b) how to
differentiate truthful content.

ResponderEliminarIn short Internet is just a wonderful tool that provides us a variety of information, the way that we use the information is what it really matters
Eliminarthe internet converted in a tool important in life of all people, because when people need information about something, sometimes they don´t know how to resolve it?, and the internet help to answer any questions with a lot information for this reason people read and found the best and main answer. so, I think that the internet we make smart because, the internet give important and interesting information that impels us to keep searching, but also I think that for some people, the internet makes them silly because, they search information just copy and paste and they don´t read. Besides there are people who don´t know to use the internet and use it to do bad things to other people.
ResponderEliminarI believe that the internet is useful for all people, but the internet has advantages and disadvantages, however the society knows a lot of problems on the internet, but we do not have care, for that reason many parents have care with their children. I am sure that I am smart because i always try to research the best information about the any subject is very important for my knowledge. one of the worst disadvantages is when a teacher sends investigation and students research information on the internet ,some students copy and paste the information ,but when the teacher is smart he/she discovers this .the students lose because he/she obtains bad grade.
ResponderEliminarIn my view, Internet is a useful tool, not only for students. People around the world use internet. Internet makes people more smart because they are interested in searching information and learning. but Internet also makes people more silly because it is used for chatting and spend time in entertainment programs young people specially, so Internet is necessary in this days, because it helps students to get information and improve their skills. internet is also so important for english . It helps people to practice every day in some pages. Finally internet is a great access to discover new things.
ResponderEliminarIn mi opinion, the internet make us smart and silly on the same time, because if we use the internet on the right way it will help us to find a lot of information to every single proyect that we want to carry out in our future as a professional English Teacher. while the internet make us a silly person when we spend hours and hours chating, whatching photos, commenting what other people do etc. so, wasting our time on unproductive things.
ResponderEliminarNowadays the internet has been a vey useful and important tool in our lives because we can get information from the internet. The internet also answers our doubts, for this reason the internet makes smarter because we can read reliable information. In the other hand many people use the internet to get information only for copy and page. Moreover some people use the internet in a bad way in order to destroy someone's life.
ResponderEliminarInternet makes the people silly if you go out any way (Party, supermarket, class, stadium, library and so on) you look teenegers texting on facebook, whatsapp and so on. People recorded fool video (porn, jockes, and so on) and upload this video to the web. It is common they use internet for amusement. USA goverment spies to the world, there are some disavantages in the use of internet.The lowest percentage of the population use internet for be clever, the minor part of the world.
ResponderEliminarI think that the internet is a basic tool that allows to everybody access to different websites in order to search information ,watching videos ,listening to music ,access to social networks to communicate with people around the world.
ResponderEliminarThere are advantages such as:
Internet allows a communication easier.
Deal with people around the world.
Find interesting information about any topic.
Access to virtual libraries.
There are Disadvantages such as:
Internet makes that student do not apply their better effort in their homework.

INTERNET MAKES YOU SMART OR MORE SILLY
I believe that it depends of each person about What kinds of uses wants to give to the internet for me Internet provides the ways to learn and find information about any interesting topic, people can improve their knowledge for that reason internet makes you smart.However if you decide to give it a bad use internet makes you silly because some people waste their time watching pornography ,playing video games or surfing in social network all the time.
According to a new survey of 1,021 technology experts and critics, hyperconnectivity is a mixed bag. Fifty-five percent of those surveyed agreed that the Internet has wired the under-35 crowd differently, and that this rewiring is a good thing, stimulating multitasking talent and an ability to find relevant information fast online. But 42 percent of experts believe that the hyperconnected brain is shallow, with an unhealthy dependence on the Internet and mobile devices.
that is
the fact here is how can you use it in a proficiente way ? nowadays , we have advantages and issues of the use of "internet" all this depends how you can use this powerpuf tool , let's think about this example " If you buy something , it must be a good purchase and also if you want that the product you bought lasts you have to keep it in an adequate way" as my companios have said in this blog all this depends and the use you give to it,

COMMENTARY FROM: Patty zamora zambrano
ResponderEliminarIt is possible to find on the internet of all good things and bad things but everyone should know how to use the internet according to your needs and your way of thinking.
I think that people who like to use the internet to unproductive and harmful things make the internet not show them any benefit, but those who make good use of the internet are people who will excel in the world because every day you want to overcome and acquire new skills and take advantage of this resource that allows them to learn in an easier way.
Internet has become in a very important information's source for education researches. If we use internet in a appropriate way, it will help us to be smarter and faster on our duties. It simplify our lives, I remember when I was in high school I had to search in many books to find the correct information to do my homework, but nowadays we have this enormous facility and we can access easily to take advantage of it.
ResponderEliminarOn the other hand, there will always be people who use internet to unprofitable and malicious activities, but in my opinion internet has more advantages than disadvantages.
Well, for me the internet is a useful tool it allows you get a lot of information about anything. It can become us in smart people if we give it a correct use for example we can use it tool to get information in order to improve our knowledges, but it also makes silly people because there are people that waste your time in things that are not productive like entertainment pages or chatting, it makes the young lose communication with your family.
ResponderEliminarI think the internet sometimes makes us increasingly dependent on it and as a result our reading skills or decrease search and investigation. for that reason I think the Internet makes us dumber as it facilitates our problems. Therefore it is important that we begin to recognize our mistakes and not get carried away by the current of comfort and allow the computer to perform our tasks and facilitate our lives.
ResponderEliminarsince my point of view , the internet is the most important tool for anyone because nowadays everything is under the new media .Internet can serve various purposes based on one's requirement. And above all it’s useful for any person if they are being guided properly to use it. I cannot say if this makes us smart or more silly because it depends on how the users use it ,in my case it makes me more smart due to that I learn a lot of things on internet when I do not know.
ResponderEliminarInternet is a tool and technology used all over the world to communicate, find information, and even distraction as part for many people.
ResponderEliminarAll those distractions and constant interruptions that offers this service where people were distracted with emails , updates and continues to concentrate on its activities. Music and movies online becomes scattered and superficial thinkers and does not allow the proper development of students, workers and people in general.
I would argue they are doing both. To the extent that we want to use them to become more intelligent, this service has helped us in many ways if we use a lot of responsibility for improvement in our lives, but the very same tools can just as easily be used to become dumber and less informed, just as television can, or the telephone or any other technology, including books.
On my understanding, Internet has always been a tool for education, ideas interchange and communication through long distance, but it is also a fact that internet is crowded with distractors and dangers. in my consideration , it has always been about of how we use a tool and not how a tool uses us , the time we invest on internet and the decisions we make based on our needs.
ResponderEliminarAlmost everybody uses the Internet at home. But is it a great invention? I think there are both advantages and disadvantages. People everywhere spend hours surfing on the net.
ResponderEliminarThe first advantage is that you can keep in touch with your family or friends anywhere around the world.
Secondly, I believe that the Internet is an important source of fast information, although its veracity is sometimes questionable.
Thirdly, the Internet allows you get information without boundaries.
Another advantage is that you can work from home or wherever you are.
On the other hand, there are also disadvantages. Firstly, the Internet is used for stupid purposes very often, such as chatting or playing games.
Secondly, sometimes on the net there is lack of privacy, mainly in social networking (like tuenti, facebook...).
Thirdly, I think that shopping online is dangerous, because there are information thieves, and you can lose your savings in seconds.
In conclusion, although living with the Internet has some advantages, I think you can live without it.
I think the internet is an educational tool that offers the opportunity to be updated in knowledge, and exchange projects and experiences. The training would be feasible for managing internet with more accurate to choose topics of interest to complement our training tools. this would allow us to tell more and have deeper knowledge on topics of our interest. also for me the internet is a very important means of communication that allows us to exchange data with different social strata whether national or foreign, whether we would keep in touch with our loved ones that are in different parts of the country or in some cases in other countries.
ResponderEliminarThe internet is a technological breakthrough that makes us more advanced and intelligent and their use must be for our progress of knowledge. From my point of view the internet is an excellent tool for human intelligence, the problem is the abuse Tof excessive entertainment but that does not mean it is negative.
ResponderEliminarWorth remembering that not long ago x father hanged to his son because he kept the computer for anything (I do not know where exactly, but it was a real thing). I do not want a being extremist,but the percents of the distraction with this technology is too much. This note had mentioned some dates and what has hapened in each year signaled. I do not make us silly internet, extremes are bad. Everythings depends on the dedication of everyone for reflection, proper selection and pursuit of reliable information, I am sure with this thinking. Certainly the technology has been our minds for the better. I want to rescue three important things of Mr Thompson: connecting ideas, the extended memory and the infinite possibility of publication. Remember, everythings in excess are bad.
ResponderEliminarI think that internet is an important tool for the people, because give as the opportunity of enrich our knowledge and we can get more information about anything. Is important that the parents monitor their children when they use the internet because sometimes they use the internet in bad ways.
ResponderEliminarInternet is important in our society and education, we just use it properly. Although sometimes it is true that it does affect a little because people do not use libraries because of laziness find and read so much. Now search and access to knowledge is easy, but we must teach our children to find the correct information because not everything on the internet is true.
ResponderEliminarI think that internet is an amazing tool in our society, but it has some advantages and disadvantages.
ResponderEliminarEach person uses it according her or his necessity. Internet is used for many students in order to get important information which helps them. Also we can communicate with our family, friends and teachers around the world. But, some people use it for download: games, videos and so on. Many guys always are surfing in social networks. They spend time doing it instead of search indispensable information. In conclusion, Internet have become in a useful tool for all people. In some cases many people become a smart or silly person, it depends how you use it.
the internet is an easy way to get information. It is an useful tool.
ResponderEliminarhowever, there are many people that when they do not have internet to do their homeworks, they do not look other tool as: library or some books they could have at home.
the internet is the best resort of investigation what we have there are that give a good used in especially the childrens to be controlly by the parents
EliminarIt´s depends of in some cases parental control, because if it about children it is difficult that they know what searching.In my personal opinión the internet is very useful but ii is not only one option that our children need.
ResponderEliminarThe technology is necessary for family communication, homework, modern activities. The internet is an important because you can use it in different fields as: jobs, education, medicine, investigation, business, sciences.
ResponderEliminarThe Internet is most important tool in the world that you can use of the best form as search information or check your email count but if you use of the worst form it could be your enemy.

ResponderEliminarI think that the internet doesn't silly anyone, I mean, it's up to you, you decide if you want to waste your time doing things that aren't going to help you increase your knowledge, so, you decide if you want to use a wonderful invention for something destructive to yourself. This means that if you are smart you will use the internet for something productive, but if you are silly you will use the internet for silly things...
ResponderEliminarJoshelyn Moreira
I do believe internet is a great tool in these days because it helps us to find some doubts about any subject, but depending on the education and culture of each person internet would be a tool or not. If someone use the internet to seach about a subject and to learn... this is a good idea beacuse information will feed our knowledge.. we also use internet to communicate with friends or relatives, and to kill the time by listening music or watching a movie.... I think if we spend a lot of time by surfing on the internet doing things that are not good at all to our brain or our life style internet would makes us less productives and less smart.
ResponderEliminarWell. It depends on the people who is using it and the purpose of its use. For example, its not the same a person who uses the internet for academic purposes with the one who uses the internet for entertainment. Internet could give a new goal to your life, nowadays is possible even to do a masters online but by the other hand, it could be destructive for those who don't have any vision and mission on their lifes.
