There was really one section in They Say I Say book that really got me thinking, that section was “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” I really thought about this topic and I came to the conclusion, that not only is Google making us stupid, I think it is ruining our lives in general. Our lives are drastically different than those of the generations before us. I blame this change solely on the rise of technology. I would even argue that technology is in total control of our lives. It seems like nothing can get done in today 's society without technology in some way, shape, or form.
I personally think that people, especially people in my generation spend way too much time on technology, specifically cell phones. It is as if every aching minute …show more content…

Phones and other technology, are great sources of entertainment, when used in moderation. Most things are good in moderation. In today 's world, some people 's jobs actually depend on being on their device of technology. There is nothing wrong with this they need to use technology in order to make a living. What matters is what those people do after work, do they stay on technology after work, or do they do other things like go for a run, walk the dog, or even just sit and look at the clouds. As long as they stay off of technology after being on it all day I don 't see a
