IS GOOOOOOGLE MAKING US STUPID???
Maybe......If you think about it. Look, ig you are typing a paper and say you dont know what a "mortgage" is where do you go? GOOGLE or WIKIPEDIA. Right? BUT!!! i do not beleive its making us stupid, i beleive that it is making us smarter. We are in the "Tech" age and being able to have an infinite amount of data at your finger tips is awesome and makes us "smarter" If you wanted to look up what a mortgage was 20 years ago you had to get an encyclopedia and look it up, but now you open a new tab and their you go a million billion trillion "things" you can look up watch or comment on,like my awesome blog!
To sum all my words up NO i do not beleive or think GOOGLE or the internet is making us dumb, now dont get me wrong it may be making us lazier but thats another story.NICKEL

Topic to Thesis Statement
what a thesis should be. " contestable, proposing an arguable point with which people could reasonably disagree."
Ok, when you think about a thesis statement some people cringe and some people cry. It usually means you have to write a super long paper and come up with one line to sum it all up. In my past paper writing days the teacher would always have us come up with a "thesis". Why? What was the point? Just let us write the paper and get on with it. But now further into my educational career i now see how this is a great tool to use. To me a thesis statement is like the glue that holds the whole paper together. First you come up with key words like what we did in class which was a great idea mold them into something called a sentence that has some sort of argument or question associated with it, and viola you have a THESIS! Now knowing this little tid bit of onfo. I will now start my papers off this way, knowing that it will be a strong backbone to my incrdibly awesome paper. And thats Nickels 2 cents.
