Why Did Google Make This Move

Nicholas Carr is an American author who writes the majority of books and articles about the continuously evolving world of technology and how it is effecting our society. Nicholas Carr’s The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains, was a 2011 Pulitzer Prize finalist and a New York Times bestseller. In this essay I will be rhetorically analyzing Carr’s essay “Is Google Making Us Stupid” published in 2008. The purpose of Carr’s essay was to bring light to an issue that many of us face but only a meniscal few have come to terms with; and that is that technology is mentally incapacitating our society and simultaneously making us lazy. This essay was intended for anyone was has been consumed in today’s culture by new technological advances to the extent of not being able to function without some sort of device, IE cellphone, laptop or tablet on a daily basis.

The Canadian cellular service’s industry is comprised of approximately 15 cellular providers. These operators employ approximately 16,000 individuals and generate more than CAN$10B in revenues annually, which represents almost 30 percent of the Canadian telecommunications market. The Canadian wireless industry has been experiencing an annual growth rate three times that of any other Canadian telecommunications sector. This is very significant as Canada is in the top 10% in the world for broadband penetration.

Given the increasing regulations of the Internet and email by the Government of China, recommend to the CEO of Google whether the company should continue to operate in China, the world’s fastest and among the largest growth markets.

Is Google numbing our minds? Carr claims that we are so heavily reliant on Google, that it is impeding our own mental thinking and capacity; he says that we need to rely less on Google and we need to start to rely more on our own thinking. As a result of Google, it has become the focal point of our thinking in today’s society. We no longer use our own knowledge and understanding to look up information, but rather we use Google to do our own dirty work according to Carr. Essentially, Google has numbed our minds by making us so lazy and reliant on it.

I would like to begin by saying that I am usually not jealous or envious of many people but I have to say I am actually jealous of all the googlers. That being said I know now if I was to ever own my business I will make sure to first read Laszlo Bock’s book “WORK RULES! INSIGHTS FROM INSIDE GOOGLE THAT WILL TRANSFORM HOW YOU LIVE AND LEAD” I believe this book can help transform the way we conduct our businesses and how we treat our employees. It’s the new way of looking at the workforce, the old view was to invest in your business and not employees but new view is when you invest in your employees the rest will follow. Google’s HR along

General Environment. Today, Google, Inc. (hereinafter "Google" or "the company") competes in the global technology industry where in holds a leading position. The company remains committed to "improving the ways people connect with information" (Form 10-K, 2012, p. 3). The general environment in which the company competes is characterized by rapid growth as well as industry convergence as existing technologies and platforms are stretched to their limits (Hitt, Ireland & Hokisson, 2011). In this environment, Google has emerged as the major actor that is modeling the way for others. For

Is Google Making Us Stupid?” by Nicholas Carr talks about the way technology is effecting

“Is Google Making Us Stupid?” is an article that contemplates whether or not google is good for the mind or if it is just making us dumb. They go on to talk about the typewriter and how in that period of time you had to think about what you said and you learned more because there was not internet. You did not read about something online but you read out of a book. Reading online is like reading in bits and pieces. When you read something from the internet you are learning the information in parts, you are not learning the whole story, but a sugar down version. The author (Nicholas Carr) feels that by using google or any internet site we are making our mind much more simple than what it could be. I agree with the fact that google is making us think less and talk differently. Carr says by using the internet for research or online reading we are making ourselves we are losing content, but if we pick up a book we will retain much more information.

Google Company is one of the global leaders in technology and in enabling people access information from the internet through their efficient search engines. Google immediately gained the attention of the internet sector for being a better search engine than its competitors (Wheelen, Hunger, Hoffman, & Bamford, 2015). This was after a tremendous effort in marketing their services and capturing a large market worldwide. However, there being so many risks and challenges in this line of business Google has had the urge to come up with new strategies so that they are able to overcome any challenge before them. The major problem that Google has

Google’s business model is geared towards mobile computing and the Internet. The company wants versatile smartphones that allow access to the Web and the use of applications that can be used on different devices. Google also has strength in advertising, in that they appeal to many potential customers on the Web.

Newspapers and blogs, especially online, often publish articles on “Random Acts of Kindness.” In these articles and posts, readers see photographs of firemen saving kittens, children helping the homeless, lost phones and wallets being returned, and of people helping other people. Many times, the author refers to the faith in humanity being restored and of the good morals some people hold. But what are morals? What is morality? The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines morality as “beliefs about what is right behavior and what is wrong behavior” (Merriam-Webster). However, what drives morality? Is it the inherent goodness in a person or is it an incentive? Based on the article “Markets and Morality”, published in the CATO Journal, there are two different types of morality. The first type, duty based morality, is “behaving the

Newspapers and magazine forum discussion boards have removed the transparency option on their comment boards. They 're choosing required log-ins for Twitter, Disqus or Facebook in order for readers to share their thoughts. So why should YouTube be any different with Google ownership? These are pros and cons of the new discussion boards. Google+ and YouTube users rebel against transparency It was a sad day for trollers everywhere when YouTube users had to combine their Google accounts with their YouTube accounts. Some turned down the offers. Others opened new Google accounts with anonymous names and photos of everyone but themselves. But what they know they can 't hide is their IP address that the account was set up with or the IP address that they regularly log in on. Screams of the National Security Agency (NSA) are being heard on complaint boards. How dare there be possible legal action against spammers who bully, threaten and insult other users for their enjoyment? The truth though is even a blogger with a lesser known web provider can see the IP address of the person leaving a comment. Of course with sophisticated hacking, this can be more challenging but it can still be done. YouTube users don 't want to expose photos Chances are high that if a person on YouTube is insulting another person 's face or body, the user doing the insulting is using a fake image. There 's no point in being offended by someone who is not confident enough to show his or her own face. Use the

Google is a company that has no bounds. To reach our goal of becoming a main competitor in the United States broadband market, we must gain a larger share of the market. Since the initial launch of Google Fiber in Kansas City, our service has expanded, from much demand, into the surrounding communities. It is now time we bring Google Fiber to new communities and expand our territory.

As we can infer from the table above, Google‘s mission is consistent with its objectives in terms of how they complement each other. In its mission, Google promises to organize the world’s information and make it available for everyone to access. On the other hand, Google’s first objective is to provide information independent of any financial incentives. Moreover, they clearly state that their profits are mainly derived from advertising while information providing is for free. Google focuses on improving its operation by achieving higher quality products in order to better satisfy consumers, while the objectives precisely states that Google will employee all potential technological developments to improve users’ experience.
