My Research Topic - Negative Effect on the Internet

For my research paper I decided to choose a topic under Promise and Peril of Science. The two topics that jumped out at me were: negative effect on the Internet and genetically engineered food.  I like the negative effects of the Internet topic because I am on the Internet everyday. Some of my classes in the present and past were in a computer lab. So I cannot escape being in front of a computer. Our cell phones are even considered little mini computers. So it would be interesting to see what impact it has for our society. I remembered reading Nicholas Carr article a couple years ago and I agreed with most of the things that he was saying in his article. A lot of the stuff in his article is actually a lot easier said than done, but I agreed with him. I am also interested in reading his book “What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains” to help me with my research paper as well. To also hopefully provide some more in depth look into his reasoning.
