Revolution
:The Beatles came out with the song "Revolution" in 1968 to provide a stance on the Vietnam
War. Media Coverage of the Tet Offensive showed the American public that the Vietnam was not going well and we should withdraw immediately. Lyrics such as "Count me out" and "It's gonna be alright" are repeated in the song to show empathy.

The effects of technological advancement are both positive and negative. Positively, technology advancement has simplified the way we do things, it saves time, it increases on production, it simplifies communication. Negatively , technology advancement has made humans so lazy , technology users are so dependent on new advance tech tools , this laziness has resulted into less innovation.
Google Does Not Make Us Stupid
I am incredibly apprehensive about taking a side on this topic, and I think the last 30 seconds of this video explains exactly how I feel. Essentially it says that there are benefits of having a google free world, but there are also benefits of having information at your fingertips. Both are beneficial, therefore, a balance is ideal in leading a healthy lifestyle.
Overall, I would not be a happy camper to exist in a world without Google, and I don't think that makes me stupid. I have a thirst for knowledge, but I'm definitely not going to devote my life to learn everything about everything. Google gives me the freedom to learn as much or as little about any given topic.

It seems as most Generation Xers feel as the advent of the internet or a search engine such as google, has made the generation of millennials somehow stupider. This statement made by some of the older generations is completely refutable because of all the amazing educational advantages the internet can bring. Now the term education advantages is quite broad, what is necessarily meant by that statement is that you can literally find out anything by googling it. It can be steps to a math problem, how to program a computer, learn how to fix a car engine, etc. By having all of these information at your fingertips your own knowledge can increase by amazing intervals. Sure having google can also cause you to want to go look up other things such as entertainment, but the positives of such a service outweigh the negatives.
