Course review

I really enjoy this course. I think is important for students to take this course since in the business word we will need to communicate in a formal business manner. A lot of the new generations including mine, don’t grow up with this education. I really enjoyed the reading assignments given in this class, which are very informative and gave me a different point of view of looking at the effects  technology has had in in our modern society.  I just wish I can dedicate more time to this class, so I can get the most out of this course. But I still enjoy learning, and improve my writing skills.

Alaric Garcia summary of the “Shallows”

The chapters on the “Shallows’ appear to touch on very interesting topics, relating to technology evolution and how it has affected human society over the years. The chapters focus on the idea of technology such as the clock/ watch, reading/ writing tools and the computers, change the human form of living and perceiving the world. Moreover, it mentions the idea of technology taking control of human behavior, making our brain adapt to technological standards. Other interesting idea that showed up in the reading, was the idea of technology revolutionizing  own it’s own. It mentions that till today humans are still creating technology, but the artificial intelligence technology will self-advance.
