Bonding Over a Mascot

The author’s original questions could have been anything from what the Seminole mascot represented to the people in Florida, or to why the statues and mascot were seen as offensive to some nut not to those of Seminole descent. The purpose of the article is more or less to inform people about the Florida Seminole mascot, and explain why it isn’t offensive to most people, even those who are of Indian descent. The research that the author did was very helpful in proving his point. The author got quotes from important people that the issue concerned. He got a quote from other Florida State students who were of Indian descent, and they didn’t think that it was very offensive. They also got a quote from the Florida governor of Indian affairs, and he thought that it was offensive and outrageous. It shows you that most of the people who think that the Seminole is an offensive mascot are mainly the older people of Indian descent. Most of the younger kids and college students seem to think that it is ok, which is why it is nice that the author wasn’t biased. If they were biased it wouldn’t have been as good of an article because they wouldn’t have had any opposing arguments to oppose their beliefs, and there wouldn’t have been anything to research really.

Is Google making Us Stupid

I agree that Google is making us stupid. Google is making us stupid because it makes it so we don’t have to research or learn anything to understand something. Google allows us to just search for key words and we get the answer we are looking for. As the author stated in the article, the internet makes us unable to read in depth and stay focused is exactly what happened to me. I can’t focus enough now to read more than 8 pages at a time without getting completely distracted. Before the internet I could read a whole book in a weekend, and now I would be lucky if I could finish a book in a month without getting bored and just “googling” what the book is about. I couldn’t even stay focused enough to read all of this nine page paper. Will the internet as vast as it is it does all of the work that we used to have to do on our own. You can type in a key word or a phrase and it will give you thousands of results relating to that topic. The only example that I can think of that Google is actually helping us is because it gives us so much information. This limits the amount of useless searching for information in libraries, and can make us more productive by being more time efficient.
