That being said, it's extremely important to designate time "offline" and engage in the present with real interactions, real people, and new experiences.

A millennial's view
After reading both of the articles, I definitely agree with some of the points, but not to the extent that "google is making us stupid." I totally agree that the number of times as well as the duration we (millennials) use the internet effects our thought process and attention span. At the same time, we have also experienced a childhood that was not very technologically advanced in comparion to nowadays. I can vouch to say that I have a shorter attention span when it comes to concentrating in school today, than I did in elementary school. I believe it's because I didn't have a phone with constant internet connection and I rarely needed to use a computer so I didn't have a person laptop.

I completely agree that it is paramount to utilize our time "away" from our smartphones or just technology in general. Not to sound corny about it but go outside and smell the fresh air, or look at how green the grass is. Appreciate the world that we live in, opposed to be buried or immersed in a device constantly. To add, actually be endeared to see someone and maintain a conversation without drifting away on a phone. I dont know, just something to think about I suppose.
