A Theory on a Thesis
Technology, coupled with its strong advancement, seems to be shaping (or so to speak, adapting) our minds. Is this the fault for certain aspects of human behavior? What defines the human behavior from the mind is controversial but I believe that we are born fresh, ripe for the pickings of the world to be molded into what we will become.

Research Topic - The Mind
The mind, always changing and being shaped by the world around is, is my topic for the research paper. This has unchanged from the first instance I have chosen it as I have grown to find it more intriguing as I dwell in the waters of cognitive science and the "mind". Multitasking and technology: Is it helping us or hindering our minds?
Of course, foremost I need to acquire a copy of The Blank State by Steven Pinker so I can digest it's content as soon as I can. Doing such, I'll likely have an easier time then reading it all at the last minute because that will not likely have a happy ending.
I'm still on the fence on the other sources I need but The Blank State will help kick me off in my search for more sources. Currently, I'm still trying to reason with my stance in the research paper which I seem to have trouble with overall. By being enlightened by the topic at hand, hopefully (wishful thinking), I will have a side I can stand firmly on and be able to vocalize my point (through words mainly!) and have a easier time writing. I should most likely begin using the tools at my finger points and not let them go to waste.
