Duncan 1
Dimaikys D. Duncan Paolo Javier English 101 May 30, 2013 Does the Internet make us smarter or dumber? There is a complex debate over the Internet
and whether it is making society smarter or dumber. For that matter the debate focuses on the Internet and the intellectuality of individuals, and if the
Internet hinders or it progresses society as a whole. Other critics argue that the Internet contributes to the decline of our mental state. On the other hand,
others argue that the Internet promotes and encourages literacy by its ability in providing limitless amount of information at the stroke of a key. In

We become mere signal processing units, quickly shepherding disjointed bits of information into and then out of short–term memory. Carr illustrates
how the Internet is making us more superficial as thinkers. He also states how the internet is an information rich environment that the net creates for us
and that's why we use it so much, he refers to words, sounds, pictures, texts and what this tends to do for us is promote a sort of compulsive behavior
which we're constantly checking our smartphone, constantly glancing at our e–mail inbox, and we are living in this perpetual state of distraction and
interruption which is dangerous according to Carr because that mode of thinking, crowds out the more contemplate and calmer mode of thinking, and
that focused calmed thinking is actually how we learn. That is a process is named memory consolidation. That means that the process of information
from our short term working memory to our long term memory and its through moving information from your working memory to your long term
memory that you create connections between that information and everything else you know. Carr believes that "attention is the key, and if we loose
control of our attention or are constantly dividing our attention then we don't really enjoy that consolidation process". I disagree with this quote
because I believe that we can also enjoy that

The Development of the Internet
The Internet had started as a research project that was funded by the
US Military. There were only three computers that were linked up to this network at this time. After 1969 a total of four computers were linked to this
network, but nowadays there are billions. To link onto theinternet everybody had a dial up connection which was a connection through your telephone
line, when you wanted to go onto the internet a analogue signal would have been sent to your telephone provider and you would have been billed by
them according to what your pay package was. The disadvantage of this was that you couldn't accept telephone calls that were being made to your
phone numbers but now the...show more content...

all they simply have to do is open it regarding that they too have the

Г It's a great saving on convectional mail
Г Allows you to add attachments
Г Quicker delivery than normal mail
Г Copy e–mails to other people
Г Chat rooms are a good way to meet new people.
E–commerce

E– Commerce is the process in which companies sell products via the internet; also known as e–business. There are different types of e–business. B2B
is short for business to business and this is where one business purchases from the other, this could be such things as obtaining raw materials. The

buy almost anything online if it is food to clothes. Recently internet auctions have been held where you can buy new and use products at competitive
prices. Some people are reluctant in purchasing over the internet because they don't feel secure giving their credit card details over the net. Hackers can
obtain this information and use it to make purchases for themselves

The Internet
The Internet is an electronic series of virtual networks that link people and information through computers and other digital devices, allowing peer to
peer communication and information retrieval. The Internet was first developed in the late 1960's by the US government. The Internet however was not
publicly available until 1982; with the use of GUI's increasing the numbers owning computers, the Internet became widely available and commercial
interests grew. Access and use of the resource spread rapidly, the number of American users grew from 25 million in 1995 (when only 3% of people

However on the other side of the argument, many say the Internet say the Internet is pro socially when used sensibly. About two–thirds of the Internet
users surveyed said they spent less than five hours a week online. People who have incorporated the Internet find it a useful tool in their everyday
lives with no harmful effects. Nearly 60 percent of those who email friends and family were in contact with loved ones more often than before, and
75 percent said they had seen a friend or family member the previous day. Socially active people tend to use email in particular to allow them to
communicate more and it actually extends their social life. A UCLA study, reported findings

The Internet – The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
The internet is a computer based global information system. It is composed of many interconnected computer networks. Each network may link
thousands of computers enabling them to share information. The internet has brought a transformation in many aspects of life. It is one of the biggest
contributors in making the world into a global village. Use of internet has grown tremendously since it was introduced. It is mostly because of its
flexibility. Nowadays one can access the internet easily. Most people have computers in their homes but even the ones who don't they can always go

Educational institutions provide online courses. This has proven to be very helpful for those people who have jobs or can't go for further education.
Housewives can do courses by applying from their homes and at the same time look after their kids. It also provides an opportunity to those students

professors and other fellow students abroad. Online lectures also take place through video conferences and one can see ones professors too, making a

Media and entertainment companies use the internet for online news and weather services and to broadcast audio and video, including live radio and
television programs.
Although there are many benefits of the internet, it has also been abused in its usage. The major part is pornographic material being easily available
on the internet. It is readily available to anyone who has access to the internet. Programs have been formed to stop or infiltrate the information that one

the minds of people no matter what the age. Governments

The Internet: Out with the Old
In the book The Shallows by Nicholas Carr focuses on the issue of the Internet becoming our second nature to us humans and replacing everything
we know now with technology in a passage that appears in a chapter called, "Hal and Me." Nicholas Carr opens the passage by writing, "The net has
become my all–purpose medium..." (Carr 6). Next, he indicates that having access to so much material in a matter of seconds that he has all this
time on his hands to spend like a kid in a candy shop. Following that, Carr points out how other people, such as Bruce Friedman, a blogger who talks
about the internet changing his mental state, have "almost totally lost the ability to read and absorb a longish article on the web or in print" (Carr 7).
Finally, Carr closes the passage by stating reading books in the modern times is obsolete or even weird to see someone reading rather than using the
internet. Some might be troubled by what Carr says. They would argue that using the internet lets you absorb information faster and more efficient than
pushing through chapters of a book is a better way to think about the issue. On the other hand, Carr's position on this issue is good one for several
reasons. One is that people are losing interest completely with reading books or anything that involves having long, intensive focus because of the
internet. We can see why this idea makes sense if we consider the following

The Internet and Technology
Technology today has made an impact in our everyday lives. Technology offers many advances in the world. One of the areas of impact is in the field
of education. An important technological advance has been movies and videos. Some would say these have become vital teaching tools. Technology as
a whole has made way for several new conventions, some good, and some bad. While there are several advantages to using technology to enhance
education, there are also several disadvantages. Technology as it is used today can improve the knowledge a student attains. However, the disadvantages
outweigh the advantages. As Christians we need to be aware of the many things that technology has to offer us so that our...show more content...
Many different students learn in many different ways. For example some are visual learners, others are oral learners and still, others are the kind of
students who must take notes several times before they fully understand a concept. Technology gives students an interesting way to learn, it helps those
students that are visual learners, rather than verbal learners. It helps students become individual learners, offering a plethora of websites for students to
look up and learn from on their own.
On the other hand, technology can be a detriment to students. First of all, teachers put too much emphasis on the appearance of assignments, such as
the pictures and the font type and the format, rather than paying attention to the actual quality of the assignment. Students spend more time on finding
pictures, typing up their work in special fonts, and focusing on the looks of their papers, rather than focusing on the important things, such as the thesis
statements, organization and details the paper contains. "Students spend too much time creating high–tech presentations that don't offer significant
improvements over traditional slide shows, oral presentations, index cards and all" (Bassett 75). This isn't teaching the student anything except that
looks are more important than content. Is that what we want to teach the next generation of students? "Teachers should not allow the glitter and power
of high technology to distract them from focusing their

The Internet and Its Effects
The Internet was first developed in 1957 as a communication resource for the military Defense Unit. Since then the Internet remains to a service of
communication that is now provided to all people with the access of a computer. Over the past several years the Internet has developed and expanded
into an endless resource of information and knowledge. With billions of Internet users present in the world today, the idea of living life through the
computer is not as uncommon as it used to be. Today people have the opportunity to experience relationships and receive an education through the
computer. Although the quality of this kind of life is available, one may ask how realistic and healthy is it. Through the...show more content...
The process of education involves sharing knowledge through communication to another individual/s. The means through which education is provided
has changed tremendously in the past few years and continues change today. Through technology, education is viewed by the US Department of
Education as "no longer confined to it's campus or shaped mainly by it's own traditions, it's academic community and faculty, it's libraries and any other
source of knowledge or by any other tangible factors."(Hallak 3) Education without tangible resources is an education that is more widely available to
students. When time and distance are variables that are no longer present in obtaining information student's nation wide can receive an education. For
the first time students have more flexibility and options in making a choice as to where, when and how they receive their education.
Conversely, some may say that education has been made easy. Students and teachers are no longer are required to travel to a classroom to meet or
verbally discuss topics face to face. The communication between teachers and students has been minimized to almost nothing but reading and writing.
Although reading and writing gets the job done (as far as sending information and receiving it) there is a large gap in the communication of the
material as far as human expression is involved.
For example an aspect of human expression is sound. Sound is an

Working with Internet does not mean just browsing www and sending and receiving e–mails. The Basic Structure of the Internet was developed
through last 30 years of existence of the Internet. The Internet is a heterogeneous worldwide network consisting of a large number of host computers
and local area networks. The Internet uses the TCP/IP suite of protocols. This allows the integration of a large number of different computers into one
single network with highly efficient communication between them. This way, the user can access information on all kinds of host computers from a

In the second group, the user turns to the Internet–service in search for some particular information. Communication services can roughly be compared
to a telephone call, information services to a dictionary .The most important communication services on the Internet are electronic mail, Netnews and
some derived services. Major information services are terminal emulation and file transfer, Gopher, WAIS, and World Wide Web.
Electronic mail is the most popular and widely used network service. It can be viewed as the electronic equivalent to a regular mail letter. When one
user wants to send a message to another Internet user, he types the message into a special computer program, adds the e–mail address of the recipient,
and sends the message off through the network. Typically, the message reaches its destination almost immediately, even when it is on another
continent. Practically all gateways between the Internet and other computer networks can handle e–mail messages. Therefore, many more people can
be reached by e–mail than are connected to the Internet via TCP/IP. The major advantage of e–mail over regular mail is that an e– mail message comes
in electronic form. Therefore, it can easily be handled and interpreted by a computer program. This feature is use by electronic discussion lists. They
operate a database of subscribers and each incoming e–mail message is automatically distributed to each

pg 68). Through the next couple years there were talks of about how this network could come into the cooperate world. In 1969 researchers at four US

campuses created the first hosts of the ARPANET. They connected the Stanford Research Institute, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, and the University of
Utah. The ARPANET was a success from the very beginning. Although originally designed to allow scientists to share data and access remote
computers, email quickly became the most popular application. The ARPANET became a high–speed digital post office as people use it to collaborate
on research projects and discuss topics of various interests. In 1971 the ARPANET grows to 23 hosts connecting universities and government research
centers around the country. In 1972, the Inter–Networking Working Group becomes

Thinking about the internet reminds me of something that was said in my history class. My professor was lecturing about the early colonies in

Roswell is a city that I really have trouble with in this area, every building looks the same and all the roads sound the same. If it weren't for the
directions that I received in Travelocity.com I would have never made it to pick up my prom dress last year. With school and work filling most of my
schedule anything that saves me time is a lifesaver. Therefore I shop on the internet as much as possible. For instance, when I was in high school, I
hated having to drive to a book store to acquire my summer reading books. I once spent a whole day searching for one book at several different
book stores all over town and the town next to mine; only to find out that almost every kid in my grade, and at every school in the surrounding
counties was buying and looking for the same books. All of us were buying out and harassing the clerks for theses books at stores such as Barnes and
Nobles, local bookstores such as Jillian's Books, and Walden Books. What a waste of time! There is so much merchandise , like my books, that can be
purchased over the internet. E–Bay is also a place where everyday people buy and sell personal items and equipment. My brother, Ben, loves E–Bay
because this is where he finds accessories to his 1972 master craft boat which he is re–building. E–Bay has introduced him to a whole new world of

How to use Internet as a management resource?
Introduction:

of the 1960ВЎВЇs. Today, there are now 10 to 20 million people using an Internet comprised of more than 30,000 networks spread out over 78 nations
all over the world.

At last, we will briefly discuss some risks for using Internet.
Implementing Internet as a management resources:
Search external information to compete in the business world
Approach specific knowledge and experts to increase management skill
Use internet as a tool to improve management performance
Risks:
The very fundamental purpose of Internet is to provide an open information framework with few access barriers to information. There are several
potential risks associated with the implementation of Internet in the organization. So managers should pay attention to it and avoid it.

Security
Internet is a completely open system. Any user is able to access any information
interconnected via the information superhighway.
Computer "Viruses" and "Worms".
Computer Viruses and Worms are known for causing harm to computer systems.
Information Overload and Redundancies.
Conclusion:
How to successful use Internet as a management resource are more than a management buzzword and a textbook definition. It is a new way of
managing organizations towards a more complex and competitive future. Furthermore, more and more managers have realized that Internet is not only
a communication tools and information resource. In fact, managers have promoted how to use Internet to their strategy plan. Internet has proven very

Persuasive Essay On The Internet
It can be considered as one of the most valuable types of technology. During the last several years we have come to be more and more dependent on
the Internet and in particular moving huge chunks of data across large distances. The Internet allows people to communicate with each other across the
world within mere fractions of seconds with the help of E–mail and Messenger. The Internet also allows for expressing opinions and obtaining
up–to–date information from the world–wide–web. The new software is being developed every day which uses the Internet as the carrier for long
distance voice calls and video conferencing like FaceTime and Skype, which would hold the key to the future of our society. Whether someone is
sending e–mail, posting on message boards, or reading the news online, people are guaranteed the same freedom of self–expression that we enjoy
offline. In other countries, the mere act of accessing websites that criticize the government is an offense that can land you in prison. Australia, similar
to the United States, perceives and ensures a person's freedom of expression. Although, they have an alternate view on what is appropriate on the
Internet. Australia has taken the position to confine adults privilege of the right to speak freely on the Internet, in order to avoid children for getting
material that is esteemed unsuitable for minors. However, it also averts content considered "objectionable" to be uploaded on the internet, in this

Argumentative Essay On The Internet
As technology begins to advance every day it starts to have a large impact on us humans, not only on just our lifestyle but also the way we prefer to
receive information. In the novel The Shallows, by Nicholas Carr, he proclaims a biased argument about the internet consequently how it is changing
our ability to think logically because we are choosing the easier route to gain knowledge. Additionally, argues that due to Google we lack our critical
thinking skills causing less knowledge to be created. The Internet is designed to connect people on a personal and commercial level, on the other hand,
Carr rejects that idea, moreover views it as making us individuals more shallow by using the Internet. Despite the benefits the internet has, it is
degrading us and we don't even know it. The internet is constantly changing the way our brain works. Additional use of the internet causes our brains to
decrease the attention span we have. We were all born with a blank slate of minds with a basic brain structure, though our synaptic (nerve cells) connect
accordingly by experience. "Cells that fire together wire together." (Carr 27). If animals learn through repetition, us humans might as well. The
consistent usage of the internet to receive information quickly makes the human brain have a shorter attention span. Due to neuroplasticity, we are
utilized to receiving information so quickly, when we are given something like a book, it makes it harder for us to understand the text since we

The biggest dangers of the Internet are virus. Viruses are small programs that "infect" computers. Most viruses are made to "steal" and or "destroy"

E–mailed Viruses are harder to avoid. Opening an attached file can trigger them or by touching the message that contains the attached file and then the

program and also MS's Outlook. A new way for Viruses to be spread by E
–mail is to put the whole code for the virus in the subject line that way when
the computer read the subject line it unwittingly activated the virus. The newest way for people to get viruses is through the web pages. This is
done by putting the virus code into a script on the web page, now when the page is accessed the viruses executes the viruses code. (Virus Thrives on
HTML) This can make a virus very prolific if a lot of people visit the web page.

The World Wide Web
Communication––it is a fundamental part of our everyday lives. It characterizes who we are, what we do, and how we relate to others in society. It
is a very powerful tool that holds many different uses for our basic needs and survival. At a very simplistic level, it is key in attaining our very basic
needs for survival. In that respect, it is key in achieving all needs in Maslows hierarchy. Its uses and possibilities endless.
Over time, the discoveries that have been made in relation to communication have been revolutionary in that they have changed the way we live and act
dramatically. For example, the writing on walls, pencils, pens, ink, paper, theprinting press, telegraph, telephone, television,...show more content...
This lack of understanding causes fear and a personal defense from utilizing "the web" and all the possibilities that lie within it. In essence, the concept
behind the World Wide Web is really quite simple. It is nothing more than "a community of information sites on the Internet computer network"
(Pasadena Public Library). So basically, the World Wide Web is a small part of a greater entity
–the Internet. The sites, or web pages, are all connected
by this network and can be considered a community because of their common location–the World Wide Web. If you can visualize it, imagine a large
network, the Internet, which connects people and information all over the world. Then imagine within that network, a community of its own. The
World Wide Web has an endless number of sites, made of web pages, and all of which are connected through the Internet.
So how does one use or "navigate" on the Web? To understand that, one must first understand the language (that which makes it run, understand and
execute commands) the web is based upon. This language is known as Hypertext Markup Language, which will later be discussed in more detail.
Essentially, it the hypertext language uses "hot words to link pages to each other" (Halonen). The hot words, which have been termed links, consist of
an underlying code, HTML, which is read and takes the user to the desired destination.
Also, the web uses URL's, Uniform Resource Locators, to locate information. Also

The Internet And Social Media Essay
We live in an age of connection where a person's access to the internet is limited only by whether they have an internet ready device. The internet has
allowed users to freely and effortlessly communicate with each other across the globe. This has opened up new and exciting prospects including
forming friends aboard, creating a personal blog and competing in online games with people from other countries. It is estimated that around 2.95
billion people around the world use social media web–sites. In the United States (US) alone 78% of the US population have an active social media
account (Social media statistics, 2016).
The interconnectedness that the internet and social media provide brings fourth both the opportunity to communicate and abuse communication. The
rate at which social media is expanding into everyday life meant that it is now a necessity to address the potential risks that social media inherently
carry.
Children and the elderly are of particular concern because of their inexperience and lack of knowledge of how the internet can affect their lives.
Parents are concerned about whether their children will come in contact with explicitly online material and child predators. Regulatory bodies are now
trying to devise strategies to minimize the risks of high risk groups.
The purpose of this report is to investigate, identify and offer potential solutions to social media risks to enable regulatory bodies, high risk groups and
parents to be informed and take

This is beneficial because an instant response can be obtained in a matter of seconds. Also, this is the most appropriate place for a correct response to
any Moo related questions.
When an essay is completed in a Moo, it is out there for the world to see. In other words, anyone and everyone in the world who has access to the
Internet can view it. This leaves an essay open for criticism, which can be used constructively to help the student develop his or her work. It also
beneficial for the teachers. It allows the teacher to view the student's work with the click of a mouse. No longer does class have to be in session for
work to be accomplished. Teachers can view an essay over the Internet, then email the student back his or her grade at any time they desire. Essays
written on the Internet also free the teacher from carrying around stacks of papers.
Although Moos have many advantages, there are also certain drawbacks to creating an essay in this fashion. When writing an essay in the Moo, the
Moo editor may be needed.
The editor contains certain commands that are needed to get around throughout the rooms, and it may be hard to memorize them all. This can be a
stressful task to learn the commands, but once they are familiar, travel throughout the Moo rooms is much easier.

Since the invention and popularization of the internet, computer mediated communication has become an increasingly common mode of socialization.
Many people have voiced the concern that the move away from physical communication might have negative repercussions for society; however,
socialization on the internet has a number of advantages over traditional socialization. The internet provides a larger pool of potential social contacts
