My Daily Reflection Entry

Today in class we read an essay call Is Google Making Us Stupid? by Nicholas Carr.  It explains how the internet is used to avoid reading and searching for what is needed the traditional way.  In the essay he uses different types of rhetorical devices, such as figurative language.  One figurative language that he uses is personification.  Like in this sentence, “The human brain is just an outdated computer that needs a faster professor and a bigger hard drive.” He was simply saying that using technology is like a book in one device that you can always just look up what you need and the answer is there in the palm of your hands without the books.
