The End of Forgetting

THE END OF FORGETTING
In Jeffrey Rosen's analysis in "The Web Means The End Of Forgetting," he exploits how from the beginning of the age of technology, not only the government, but the people who use the power of the internet are exploiting people for what they post on the walls of their common Facebook accounts. With the rise of social networking and the down fall of face to face communication, the age of modern man is beginning to establish false faces in order to either make it look good for future internships with major companies that check your account before hiring, or just for people with a passion to hurt others. This generation of technological advances has lead from bad to worse situations such as the situation involving Stacy Snyder and her post that would forever ruin her future career. As technology tightens its grasp on letting confrontation become a thing of the past, and strengthens its grasp on teaching the community to release how they feel through the internet, people run into problems such as cyber bullying and other inappropriate uses for the internet that lower ones esteem. the common age of man is degrading itself and leaving their blank bodies hosted to the brilliantly lighted screen of their computers. From a Psychological point of view on the subject, Evolution has taught us that the strongest survive and the most intelligent survive, but no one told us that intelligence is just a click away. People have misunderstood the concept of attaining knowledge and expect everything to be at their finger tips 24/7. Learning may be easier just by logging on, but sometimes the easiest path is the most difficult in the long run.
