How Technology Changes the Way I Think

"Back in 2004, I asked [Google founders] Page and Brin what they saw as the future of Google search. 'It will be included in people's brains,' said Page. 'When you think about something and don't really know much about it, you will automatically get information.'
'That's true,' said Brin. 'Ultimately I view Google as a way to augment your brain with the knowledge of the world. Right now you go into your computer and type a phrase, but you can imagine that it could be easier in the future, that you can have just devices you talk into, or you can have computers that pay attention to what's going on around them and suggest useful information.'
'Somebody introduces themselves to you, and your watch goes to your web page,' said Page. 'Or if you met this person two years ago, this is what they said to you... Eventually you'll have the implant, where if you think about a fact, it will just tell you the answer."

How does extensive Internet/media/technology use change the way you think?

The first thought that comes to mind is that either we're becoming robots or are using our technology as robots to do the things we would rather not. I am not saying this is bad in a sense, but that things have changed a lot in just a mere ten years. When I was seven I watched movies on VCR's, my mother had a flip phone from Cingular that rarely had service, and we actually sometimes used books for references. Now things are different, easier in fact, but maybe not in so little words better. Now don't get me wrong, I love my iphone and how I can search the internet from almost anywhere and that I can watch movies from Netflix on it, but it almost brings the fun out of life. I miss the days where going on a bike ride was the best things any kid could do. So my thinking is at a loss on this subject. I love the technology, but also just miss the way things were.
