1. Is the Internet somehow responsible for reducing our collective intelligence? Web giant google, standing in
for the Internet in general, has been accused of everything from killing critical thinking to ruining modern
imagination. An article in a leading American magazine has gone so far as to suggest that the Internet is
flattening' our intelligence by leaving us unable to read offline. So, do these doomasayers have a point? Has
the so-called information revolting mortally wounded mankind's ability to think critically?
2. We think not. It is hard to think of a technology that did not inspire fear when it was introduced. Socrates
feared the impact that writing would have on the way people thought. Recent commentators have shown a
Luddite attitude towards the Internet in much the same way that people once protested against the book.
When the book became indispensable to our intellectrual pursutis, television was and sometimes still is -
characterized as the 'iodiot box'. And now that the internet ha become so much a part of the fabric of our
lives, reactions to it have got stronger.
3. That the Internet has made so much information easily accessible to use in so short a time has meant that
we have developed the capacity to absorb information at a speed undreamt of in history. This process is
bound to affect our reading habits. While on paper, the reader must focus on the author's vision ofr a
substained period of time, on the Internet, she/he is free to skip around and compose her or there. Prehaps
it is true that more people are getting their information online, at the expense of reading offline. However, this
is not a bad thing. The Internet makes us develop different kinds of skills, such aas bad thing. The Internet
makes us develop different kinds of skills, such as locating information quickly and corroborating that
information from other sources. These skills can be just as demanding as wading through a 400 - page book.
4. The mistake that critics of the Internet make is regarding it as something of a Frankenstein's monster, a
creation of mankind that has already spun out of control and will come back to haunt him. But this is hardly
accurate. When any Civilisation comes into contact with a new technology, it changes in profound and
unexpected ways. That's happened before and will happen again.

How has Google harmed young people ?

Answer:

Google has harmed the young people in following ways :

  • Internet has affected our reading habits.While reading the books or any other hard copy the reader needs to be focused whereas on the internet the person is free to skip or compose the content.
  • Now a days everything is available on google,so young minds are fully dependent on google for their home assignments,questions.This has reduced their thinking capacity as well as reasoning skills.
  • While using the internet there are a lot of distractions as wide stuff is available on the internet which might develop bad habits among youngsters.It can pollute the innocent mind of young people.
