My first memory of using a computer was when I was about four years old; my grandmother sat me down in front of a large, bulky computer running Windows 95. It was like love at first sight, and now I feel like I've always had this kind of love affair with computers. Technology is something that changes every day. From computers to e-readers, it feels like every time we turn the corner there is a new update waiting to be downloaded or installed. For some this is no problem, but for others it is a huge inconvenience. They wonder why the current generation is so dependent on technology, or why more and more people prefer to read on a Kindle or a Nook rather than “old-fashioned” books. For people asking these questions, I highly recommend reading “Lazy Eyes” by Michael Agger, as it not only provides useful and thought-provoking information; it manages to be funny at the same time, while Sherry Turkle's "How Computers Are Changing the Way We Think" is boring, dated, and doesn't provide any sort of useful information. Turkle was born in New York in 1948. A graduate of Radcliffe College, the University of Chicago and Harvard University, she is currently a clinical psychologist and professor of sociology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Written for the Chronicle of Higher Education, “How Computers Are Changing the Way We Think,” is not credible because it never provides useful information on the subject. You would think that due to Turkle's focus on humans' relationship with computers and his years of experience, this would not be the case. Instead, the article seems almost lifeless, making it difficult to concentrate while reading. His view of technology, it seems, is rather dated, in the middle of a paper......which I would discover simply by browsing (and occasionally) articles online. There is certainly a large amount of knowledge online that has not yet been discovered by others. Accept the fact that although technology is changing for the better, you have just opened up a treasure trove of valuable information. You are just a few clicks away from finding where he is buried.
