The Internet Paper Even though the way individuals think will become something of the past, search engines will be human brains for the future. Consumed by many different types of computers and different places where information is gathered on the internet; the way of thinking for any individual will not exist in the future if society continues to head in the same direction. From the 1960’s many scientific and military personnel wanted to create a way for computers to share information. Cool everyone thought! What a marvelous idea! That would mean no more dealing with paper work, no more filling out endless applications or forms on paper, clean office space with no more boxes of paper. It will be great! What society did not know is, how it will affect society as the internet kingdom continues to grow (Howe, 2010). The normal form of communication now is by the internet. Cultural norms are habit patterns that are mimicked. Behaviors and habits learned are from parents, teacher, friends, peers, and many more individuals whose beliefs, attitudes, and values are with in the families own organizational culture (North Central Regional Educational Laboratory, 1995-2004). Back in the 1970’s telephone was the number one source of communication. Until the year 2000 society changed drastically. Computers, cell phones, iPod, kindles, ipads, and many more have dominated retail stores and is the newest hot items on the market. Any electronic device is hot. Even gaming systems are on the rise and a form of communication. Monitoring the children on what games are played is a huge factor. Knowing who your children are communicating with online with the games. In the present, the normal form of dating is, you fill out information about yourself on an online application; and the computer takes information from someone else; and pairs individuals up with someone who desires the same values or beliefs. The computer sends you and email
