The internet is not necessarily one thing. When you look up the term “internet” it is defined as, “A global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols.” Throughout these readings, they proved that the internet is more than just a place for people to connect and research. As said in one article assigned, the internet is diminishing individual’s concentration and patience. The internet is not an intentional place of diminished intelligence. The introduction of the internet was not with the intention of completely altering how one’s brain stores information, how we process information, and how we perform everyday tasks. The internet is not something small or temporary, it is implanted in everyday life. As the video said, the internet is vast, we all feel as if we have to be involved in some way, and that others people’s problems are automatically our problems.
