Tools That Change the Way We Think

link to classmate's responses to the questions.

Avid users of social media sites like Facebook seem to lack many self-developed opinions. With the filter bubble Ted talk fresh at mind, Facebook will show you more of what they think you agree with and therefore you never get the other side of the coin. Technology has created so many distractions that I do not believe we learn as effectively as we use to. Instead of reading books in our spare time, the average American watches 6 hours of television daily. This time could be spent reinforcing ideas previously learned earlier in the day or actually learning something new on your own. A positive that we have gotten out of technological advances is the fact that so many resources are readily available, we just need to find the motivation to reach out and grab them.
