Week 9- 10/18 and 10/20

This week we started our book presentations. The class split into groups to read and present on six different books dealing with the internet, technology, and our brain today. On tuesday, The Dumbest Generation was presented followed by The Overflowing Brain. On thursday, the two groups who presented were Distracted and Against the Machine. I was in the group that read and presented on The Dumbest Generation. This book had a very negative attitude toward the younger generation and technology, but didn't offer any solutions. This is part of the reason that it sparked much debate and discussion during class. All the groups had great presentations and were able to get the class to participate in discussions. Most of the books sounded like they were very interesting to read.
