Are we addicted to Google?

It is understandable as to why people would raise such a question, however, in my opinion I don't believe that the American populace is completely addicted to Google. We as a society, have no real choice but to rely on Google and other search engines for information if we wish to save time. I mean, if going to the library and searching for the information we wanted took the same amount of time as just typing out our quires, I'm sure more people would do it, however, it doesn't and thus we turn to the things like Google to get immediate answers. We live in such a fast paced world with access to technology in which our ancestors could't even dream about. We as a human race have evolved along with the technological advances and I do not believe that to be considered a fault in our populace or be blamed on search engines, such as Google.

Megan Reardon interview

After reading Rebecca Blood's interview with Megan Reardon, I've come to acknowledge that blogging offers you the freedom of expressing one's self interest in written word, as well as, the ability of documentation. Before taking Introduction to New Media, I was shamelessly unaware of the capabilities that a blog can present to its user and its readers. For instance, in the article Megan stated that she meant for her blog to be a kind of filing cabinet, in which she kept her reference. What was meant to be a method of saving space in her apartment, grew into something in which many people benefited from. I find it truly interesting that Megan's fame in the blogging world was founded on a blog which was originally intended for herself.
