experience and knowledge into your response. The specific requirements

for this essay are as follows:

Summarize the main idea of the article.

Write a thesis as the last sentence of your introduction in which you

take a stance on the issue (do you think that the internet is making

us less intelligent?).



Include at least 3 quotes from your own research, this article, or the

readings we have done so far for this progression.

Include a counterargument.
