Q) How is social media changing the way we live?
      -Social media is making the world a much more networked place.  Connections between people are easier than ever with just a mouse click someone can talk to another person on the other side of the planet.  They could additionally voice their message to any number of people at the same time.  Social media is changing the way people get their news and updates. In addition it is changing the way people and business conduct research and connect with each other.
Q) How is social networking changing the way we communicate?
      -Social networking changes everything.  People can connect around the block or across the world.  A person can voice their message to one or millions.  If you want to get your message out to a famous person all you have to do is tweet at them and there is a chance they could respond.
Q) If Google making us stupid? Yes or No, why?
     -Some may think that the up rise of Google on the internet has made our society dumber.  I don't believe this is true.  I think that is amazing that we have Google.  If a question pops up in your mind you can immediately get an answer. Once doing so, you have just gain knowledge about something new that you would have most likely forgotten to look up if you did not have Google in your pocket or fingertips.
I feel that Google may be making a negative impact on the amount of physical books people are reading.   However this does not mean that people are not reading.  People read hundreds of things online each day from wiki articles, to social media, and even blogs.
Google is very interested in artificial intelligence.  They say “Certainly if you had all the world’s information directly attached to your brain, or an artificial brain that was smarter than your brain, you’d be better off.”
