The Internet has drastically changed our lives. Its ability to give us instant access to any information we want has made us more intelligent in some ways. However, some think it's making us dumber.
Classic question, Terry. I do not believe the internet has made us dumber or smarter. The internet is just a tool. How we use it is our choice. Many advances in technology have faced similar criticism. Some say TV has made us dumber. Others say that smart cash registers have made people dumber. Cashiers rely on the calculating machine to add numbers. People probably criticized the printing press when it was invented because people did not have to remember as much. They simply had to look it up in a book. Technology has given us opportunities. We must choose how we use it.
