Alan Greenblatt, the author of the article “Impact of the Internet on Thinking”, is addressing a group of people who are unaware or naïve about technology influencing society. Greenblatt comments that the Internet is “altering the way we think --- and not for the better” and that “people today are more concerned than ever, visiting social-media sites, checking headlines on the Web and texting, e-mailing and instant messaging.” Greenblatt infers that the average human must have their cell phone or any technology around them in order to survive. A University of Maryland student went a day without any electronics or media and said, “Texting and IMing my friends gives me a constant feeling of comfort.” However, in Greenblatt’s article, he is not only concerned with the idea of how much one uses a electronic device, but also concerned with the way electronics are making humans think. In Greenblatt’s article, David Levy says, “There’s another piece of the process of learning and growing and getting information further assimilated, and that’s the time for contemplation…We’re just not allowing ourselves sufficiently the time to do deeper reflection.” For my argument of inquiry paper, I am looking to find if technology is having a negative effect on the way our brain processes and the way that one learns.

Marcia Clemmitt, the author of the article “Digital Education”, poses the question: can technology replace the classroom teacher? Some teachers and researchers say yes, technology is going to be a big part of the classroom, if not take over the classroom. James Lerman, director of the Progressive Science Initiative, at Kean University said, “I teach a class for aspiring school administrators, and the first thing I tell them is that the schools you are in today are not the schools you are going to be leading. What happened to the music industry and the publishing industry? [This] is just beginning to happen to schools”. Clemmitt also makes he claim that technology is used in “every realm of business and life”, and now schools are looking to incorporate technology into the everyday lives of children to help them be able to program computers for their futures. For my argument of inquiry paper, I am looking to learn how technology affects the young minds of children and Clemmitt’s article gives a good description of that idea.

Walter Armbrust’s article, “A History Of New Media In The Arab Middle East”, takes the use of technology on a global scale. Armbrust has a new and interesting perspective of technology by taking his viewpoints of technology from personal experience, in this case the Arab world. “Based on invitations to conferences and requests to contribute to publications over the last 20 years,” Armbrust says, “I would say that the driving force behind this engagement is growing interest in what we call ‘new media’ [‘digital media’].” In essence, Armbrust feels that the only way to grab people’s attention is to use this new kind of media. “Newer technologies of meditation brought to the Arab world initially by colonialism reshaped experience, just as colonial and post-colonial economics and politics ad,” said Armbrust. According to Armbrust, the Arab world has completely changed just like the colonial era where new ideas were brought to the people. I feel this article would fit into my argument of inquiry well because this article grabs the global perspective instead of a national perspective.

Külliki Korts article, “Introducing Gene Technology To The Society: Social Implications Of The Estonian Genome Project”, discusses a different type of technology in the modern day, medical technology. Korts comments in his article: “The theory of risk society considers the technological developments of the last century to have shaken the very foundation of modern or industrial society, and produced a new type of risk environment, [characterized] by an ever-present possibility for a global catastrophe.” In essence, Korts is trying to communicate that having a large technical change in our society can cause a complete global change. Korts also comments in his article also comments how the moral implications of having technology taking over our lives and the medical field. For my paper, I feel it would be interesting to discover if technology is taking over the medical field.

Although a short and old article, Peter G. Neumann’s, “Technology, Laws, And Society”, presents the idea of our being shaped by technology, and how we will eventually communicate through technology. But, was he right? In this article, Neumann states some potential and damaging effects to an individual that overuses technology. Yet, he also poses the question of whether the technology is improving our daily lives. “Debate continues over whether the emerging computer and communication technologies introduce intrinsic differences with respect to how our civilization must respond, or whether the advances are merely incremental steps from what has preceded them,” Neumann says. Neumann is curious if technology is good or bad for society as a whole, which makes this article perfect for my argument of inquiry paper. Using Neumann’s research and studies, I will gain both perspectives on whether technology is damaging an individual’s well being or helping their well being.
