The Importance Of Searching On The Internet

Currently it is 2016; can anyone imagine life without the Internet? Imagine that living a life in the same way as old generations lived; travelling and seeking knowledge for days and days to get the information that wanted—it is exhausted. People used to travel days and days to see the one they love. Nevertheless, the world has changed significantly since the emergence of the Internet thus there are a lot of possible things you can do now that were hard or impossible to do before. People spend a long time on the Internet, hopping from website to website to get what they want easily and quickly. Yet, people consider that the Internet is the ultimate tool that brings the world into your own personal laptop or phone. Yes, it easies the process

Searching on the internet can also affect the process of thoughts and the intellectual development of the human mind. Carr was worrying about his mind function because of the Internet when he says, “My mind isn’t going—so far as I can tell—but it’s changing. I’m not thinking the way I used to think” (Carr 332). The Internet is not as reliable as books when you search for an answer because the Internet can give you the wrong answer. You never know who wrote it, or what its source might be. Carr says, “The more they use the Web, the more they have to fight to stay focused on long pieces of writing” (Carr 333). Carr implies that mental development is being affected by the Internet, because it shapes the mind’s thoughts when he says, “They supply of the stuff of thought, but they also shape the process of thought” (Carr 333). People abandoned books because of the new phenomena called the Internet. Some might disagree with this because the Internet obviously is easier and faster to search and look up things that may be necessary for research. Yet, how sure are people of their new information form a decent

People could share emotions, feelings, and thoughts as far as could be. Yet, are these emotions real? And is it a real friendship? Deresiewicz may have explained this in his essay “Faux Friendship” when he says, “Friendship is devolving, in other words, from a relationship to a feeling” (Deresiewicz 373). When people have friends on websites such as Facebook, they share emotions called “Emojis” to represent what they feel in this moment. People used to have a (real) relationship with their friends, meeting them face to face and sharing real emotions and concerns with each other. Deresiewicz says, “In retrospect, it seems inevitable that once we decide to become friend with everyone, we would forget how to be friends with anyone” (Deresiewicz 373). Because of the isolation from the world, people are not able to express their words orally in front of a person; they no longer spend time with their real friends. People have lost their skills of how to communicate with each other. With that, the people’s relationships are what Deresiewicz described, having friends in the same place, except, they are not in the same place, or rather, they are not my friends. He said about them with an illustrative statement, “They’re simulacra of my friends, little dehydrated packets of images and information, no more my friends that a set of baseball cards in the New
