First off, I never realized that Google is more than a search engine. But besides that, I truly agree with what most of the article said. Since Google has become an everyday stop on a person's web browsing experience it truly has changed the way that we read and process information. I can honestly say that I was an avid reader before the search engine known as google came along with the rest of the internet "experience". The internet is an extremely fast way to find information about almost anything. When I find information on a website I generally do what the article said most people do, just skim through the information and read summaries. It does make it much harder to read an entire article or story and retain all the information because our brains have changed. We are used to going to Google and typing in a question and skimming for the answers, so full length articles now just look to intimidating most the time.
I was not aware that Google was trying to build somewhat of an Artificial Intelligence. To me that is kind of scary. I didn't know that whenever I used Google they were basically trailing me and storing my information at "The Googleplex". I am the type of person that is very weary about new technology, and this makes me somewhat anxious to use Google after reading this article. I think that they are on the right track to make what they call a perfect search engine, however, at what cost?
