Just Google It: What we are doing with Technology and What Technology is doing to us

Just Google it. Find them on Facebook. Ask Siri. YouTube it. These phrases failed to exist twenty years ago, but today the services these products offer are almost indispensable. How did you find out information before Google? How did you keep up with friends—and friendly creep enemies—before Facebook? How did you function without Siri? And how could you tie a tie without YouTube?

These companies not only provide services but have created a significant number of jobs. Apple employs 66,000 people in the US alone. Google employs 54,000. 17,000 with Facebook. Technology is increasingly becoming more a part of the human experience, but what are the effects? They are a convenience, but are there detriments?
