My first memory of using a computer was when I was about four years old; my grandmother sat me down in front of a big, clunky desktop running Windows 95. It was like love at first sight, and now I feel like I've always had this sort of love affair with computers. Technology is something that changes every day. From computers to eReaders it's as if every time we turn the corner there's some new update waiting to be downloaded or installed. For some this is not a problem, for others it is a major inconvenience. The latter wonders why the current generation is so dependent on technology, or why more and more people prefer to read from a Kindle or Nook rather than “old-fashioned” books. For people with these questions, I highly recommend reading "Lazy Eyes" by Michael Agger, as it not only provides useful and thought-provoking information; manages to be entertaining at the same time, while Sherry Turkle's "How Computers Change the Way We Think" is boring, dated, and doesn't provide any kind of useful information. Turkle was born in New York City 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 Change the Way We Think,” is not credible because it never provides any kind of useful information on the topic. You might think that, due to Turkle's focus on humans' relationship with computers and 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 quite dated… middle of the paper… which I would discover simply by browsing (and occasionally) browsing articles online. There is certainly a great deal of knowledge online that has yet to be discovered by others. Accept the fact that while technology is changing for the better and you have just opened a treasure trove of valuable information. You're just a few clicks away from finding out where he's buried.
