Advantage?

Nicholas Carr states that "Thanks to the growing power that computer engineers and software coders wield over our intellectual lives, Taylor's ethic is beginning to govern the realm of the mind as well. The Internet is a machine designed for the efficient and automated collection, transmission, and manipulation of information, and its legions of programmers are intent on finding the "one best method"- the perfect algorithm- to carry out every mental movement of what we've come to describe as "knowledge work.""

I believe our generation has become completely dependant on technology. Our society constantly tries to make things as easy as possible, as fast as possible. I believe our society is becoming incapable of controling all the changes. We become so enveloped in technological progresses that we forget about the true meaning of life. We find ourselves in a world that never stops. Yes, we've grown as a society and discovered many new and interesting things, but, is a postmodern era, increasing technology advances, and idea of constantly moving forward a good or a bad way of life?

Technological advances such as Google try "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." Google Inc. is an American public corporation, earning revenue from advertising related to its Internet search , e-mail, online mapping, office productivity, social networking, and video sharing services. Search engines such as Google, Yahoo, etc. seek to create "the perfect search engine". The "perfect" search should be able to "understand exactly what you mean and give you back exactly what you want." Because of technological advances, people are able to research and find answers quicker, which is what our society craves.

When do we slow down??!...
