    I grabbed this after reading the transcript of Donald's post. It seems as though a few Wyatt Earps 'ave rustled inna Dodge City and ain't no lie which kern 'scape their skinwagons.

How Google Impacts The Way Students Think - 0 views

  •  
    I agree with the theme of this argument but not the points used to present it. I believe students have become less adept when it comes to forming and framing questions for research, and because of that, they either misunderstand their goals or readily lose sight of them, especially as a process. However, the argument that because a question is able to be google means it's a bad question is both a logical fallacy and a specious claim. Also, the interdependence position effaces the culture of criticism students use to derive context in even the most trivial situation because that's what Google is - trivia. I think the writer misses the phenomenon that Google, and social media, act as both a closed and open narrative, but either way, it's continuous and interdependent.
