Research Progress

I find the conversation going on around my topic to be extremely interesting, and highly controversial. However, though opinions vary the controversy is presented respectfully. Most scholars agree with the theory that Google has affected the way we think. I agree with this thesis and I will mainly concentrate on this part of the conversation, but I enjoy reading the conversation of those that believe Google has the potential to expand our knowledge of unlimited topics. The conversation has many writers corresponding to each other, responding their thoughts to the works of others and sometimes including their own studies. The conversation includes respectable authors that share their own experiences and research supporting their theory but it does not include quite as much study cases or experiments relating to my topic. In addition, most writers that share a similar opinion usually concentrate on a different reason to support their theory. Therefore, the research process has been a bit difficult because there is a lot to be said concerning my topic. There are various areas that overlap with other topics and it is difficult to narrow it down to a specific area of the conversation. I have looked at various writers with the general consensus that Google has changed our minds, however there are always different ways presented that Google has changed our minds. Due to this, it is difficult to find my niche for my research, to find something that has not been already observed since or discussed. It is difficult to pick the information that is useful and the information that is not entirely relevant to my topic because there is so much information presented. If there is anything I would need help with is the process of narrowing my sources and my topic, then finding my own niche within the conversation. With that, I will be set to finalize my paper.
