• This Is Your Brain On Facebook Summary:
This Is Your Brain On Facebook is an article by Rob Mitchum. It talks about how people have always worried about the latest technology ruining the minds of our society. This has went from comic books to computers. Mitchum also states how the internet is beneficial to society and counters several statements from “Is Google Making us Stupid?” It provides examples and quotes from scientists and other figures.



• Reaction
I though this article was even better then “Get Smarter” in debunking the whole internet is ruining our society idea. It references “Is Google making us stupid?” and provides a lot of professional opinions, studies and facts that disprove Carr’s statements. It went hand in hand with “Get Smarter” too.

• Comparision
“This Is Your Brain On Facebook” is less about the authors opinion and more based on facts and actual studies done. In “Get Smarter” I feel like a huge amount of it is just the author’s opinion. Also this article has much more facts and credible sources to back up its statements and it also takes the opposite view of Carr’s article.
