In the blog Fischbowl, Karl Fisch talks about the Denver Post and their comments in the article Dear Denver Post-You’re the Disappointment, an article about the Denver Post talking about students being sad about going to go to school. It matters because if the post is writing about negative points on school and saying that we are disappointed to go it won’t give us a good reputation about learning. If the world thinks that we are all a bunch of teenagers who aren’t happy about learning then we won’t have much support from our parents and adults. For education if people are telling us students that we should be disappointed for school then we will be lazy and not try hard. Our work ethic will go down the drain and we will all just quit in school. I don’t think the Denver Post meant to make the article negative towards education but they are our role models and if we did what they said then  all of us would be dropping out of school. So our parents need to teach us the right skills and work ethics toward things to help us do better in life.

I read from the Denver Post subscription, about a jeep falling 1,000 feet and a woman was killed. This matters to me, because it makes me realize once more on a subject that has been creeping up on me for seamingly ages. It matters to me, because all that is blogged and on the news these days is nothing but nasty foul things happening in the world and how thta needs to change. How it matters to education is that the news is only saying terrible things that have happened instead of happy things and how the world is progressing. I think articles like the one that i read are a huge contributer to depression for soem people.

The big question is, "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" and it depends on how you look at this question. One way is to agree without any thought about the slightest part. My way is debating and pondering on my biggest questions on how it matters to me and how it matters to education. It matters to me, because i dont think that it is making us stupid if you use it to pull information rather than look for fun games. Also it matters to education, because without Google we would'nt have much to base our information off of or agree with thoughts from other people in a huge database of everything u can think of. This information is giving us a chance to point out our views of google and have an open argument on our point, which is in fact helping us learn.

After I watched this video i think what mattered is how students today arent learning as much because of technology. It could be a benefit but we are using it in the wrong ways. Also, because its making us just want quik answers without having to search for them. What this means to me is that I am being held back by technology playing videogames and computer games instead of focusing on whats important to me. What it means for education is that it might be changed to more benefit people instead of holding them back eventually, taking away the things we dont need that wont be helpfull. Sometime in the future, computers may be less helpful then we thought possible and hold us back from what we stride to become.
