The question that my group had was to compare and contrast the differences in the "Is Google Making us Stupid" essay and the Technologies one. Now I have to talk about those differences and talk about how I interpreted the article differently because that was my question.
I guess first our group came up with the similarities and the most obvious one is that they're both about technology. Both of the articles talks about information and what it is doing to our habits. The Google article is talking about how Google is negatively effecting our brain and the Technologies essay is talking about how graphic designing programs can help us come up with new and interesting ways to write a paper, forcing us to think about what we are writing a bit more. We also said that another major difference is that the Google article had a much more negative tone and the Technologies article had a much more positive one.
After saying all that I would have to say that question didn't change how I reader either article or effect my comprehention of it. It didn't do either because I didn't know what my assignment was when I was reading through both of the articles. However, when we where assigned that question I did have to look back through both to get more points to talk about. I would also have to say the the way the Technologies article was written might have effected how well I read the article because of the formating some of the sentenses seemed cut off and choppy. The Google article I might had read a bit differently because I'm tired of reading articles written telling us that technology is bad and making us stupid.
