​Google and Human Intelligence

When you were born, as you grew you experienced that you make new memories along the way as you grow up. But once you realized you knew how to use the internet, you lost your memories. This can be found by learning 3 main reasons, being less intelligent, having no learning interests, and the change between your memories.
The internet is general, we’re always distracted by our computers and phones. This is what many of you think you do, but in reality google is making us useless. If we are distracted, we understand less, remember less, and learn less. Therefore being classified as less intelligent.  Google doesn’t want us to slow down as we scroll through the internet , the faster you go through the internet, the more ads will pop up by google therefore buying whatever the ad is about , which means more money for google . Google is intentionally making us pretty shallow. If your interested in developing your mind, turn off all devices and start thinking. Really thinking. Go outside read books ignore all the internet, the social medias.
The combination of the Google effect and the constant distractions of your smartphone, constantly delivering information, can be really concerning. Concerning as in the average of the human attention span fell from 12 seconds back in 2000 to 8 seconds today. We’re missing the real danger. Human memory isn’t the same as memory in a computer, it’s through remembering that we make connections with what we know, what we feel and this gives us rise to our personal knowledge.” Is what was stated by google to also inform us that google has no right to trick you into thinking it's safe to have the same memory as a computer would have.You do not have a motherboard in your head like a computer does. It’s really not the same as you think it would be.
Without the internet's access, we had limited sources for information at libraries. This was how the past was without any internet available to search up answers for anything and gain “fake”  knowledge. Today, with the internet every answer for you is just one click away to gaining computer knowledge and cramming it into that one head of yours, which only happens  at least 15-20 times a day filling your head with useless things from the internet.
Google is like a sponge, it soaks you up, and squeezes you out into the open internet. The internet is no joke it can also make you forget lots of memories you once had. This can be found by 3 main reasons of, being less intelligent, have no learning interests and your change in memory.

District Writing Assessment:

NFL player Colin Kaepernick decided to take a knee, during the National Anthem. Alongside was teammate Eric Reid. The 3 main reasons to conclude the thoughts of Kaepernick are: Refusing to stand for the Anthem, Freedom of Expression, and the supporting and the opposing. Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the Anthem because he believed it was not good to show pride for his country who doesn’t treat people of color with respect. His words were “ I’m not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people of color. To me this is bigger than football and it would be be selfish on my part to look the other way.” With Kaepernick’s actions, this created a conversation between the fans of the NFL. Some fans were also offended and very much shocked because of this action. Colin Kaepernick believes that this is appropriate to do because he doesn’t want to stand to show pride for his country because people of color are treated with disrespect and have no rights to do such things.  Kaepernick’s freedom to express himself is possibly the right thing to do in his name of being the NFL Player for the San Francisco 49ers. He only did is movement because he doesn’t want to disrespect people of his color and possibly the other people of color. Colin and half of his other teammates took a knee for the Anthem. The others stood up to do the Anthem. Because of what Colin did, he got fired from the NFL because the NFL started taking notice of other teams and teammates starting to take hand in this action. They had no choice. Colin Kaepernick was supported by only 24 White Americans, 39 Hispanic Americans, and 63 Black Americans. They had also split the supportion by age. Adults under the age of 34 voted 39% YES. Colin Kaepernick was also oppressed by many people. Adults of the age of 34 and older voted 30% NO. 3 out of 5 Americans believed that Colin Kaepernick should have chosen a different method for his protesting because the way he did his protesting was a “Bad Form”.  Adults of the age of the age of 55 and older had voted 65% NO. 44% of all NFL fans stated that they would stop watching football because of how Colin Kaepernick decide to take a knee instead of standing for the National Anthem. Again said, Colin Kaepernick was fired from the NFL because fans “threatened “ the NFL that they would stop watching football because of his movement.To conclude Kaepernick’s movement, we have to face how important it is to Colin Kaepernick that taking a knee instead of standing, is prefered because he doesn’t want to show pride to his flag because of people like his and other colors, have no right s to do some certain things in this world. This was found by 3 main reasons, by Refusing to stand for the Anthem, his Freedom of Expression, and the supportion and the opposing of others.
