Shirky’sĀ Does the Internet Make Us SmarterĀ explains the benefits of the Internet as well as attempting to put to rest the notions that the Internet is terrible compared to past forms of reading like books. This essay was an exhibit of the lens, which is the effects of the Internet. I found anothet exhibit, which highlights the use of social media and its effects. I am for the side that the internet is actually good for us and in the article I found, there were benefits of social media, which is a subset of the Web. Social media offers the “opportunity for people tobre-connect with old friends and aquaintances, make new friends, trade ideas…”. This is great because now people can come together fot certain causes. I think this is great because this way people can sympathize/relate to others eith maybe a similar disease, and possibly come up with a solution based on the symptoms. The positive effects of coming together help to evolve thr world on a grand scale.
