IS GOOGLE MAKING US STUPID

Is Google making us stupid by Nicholas Carr suggests that we spend to much time on the internet and have lost our common sense about everything and we let computers do our thinking now. He gives an example saying he use to be able to sit down to read a book and make connections for hours but now he sits down and reads a couple of pages and gets bored. Carr says that “For me, as for others, the Net is becoming a universal medium, the conduit for most of the information that flows through my eyes and ears and into my mind.” I totally agree with this quote. I think people are starting to believe everything the internet and television are telling them even if it is a complete lie. People are relying on almost everything in their life on technology instead of just looking through a phonebook to get an address they get on Google and can find it in under a second. Scott Karp and Bruce Friedman both said they use to be everyday readers but now that they use the web so much they can barely open a book. I think this is because the internet creates shortcuts for people and now instead of reading and absorbing the text people try to just skim through absorb the most important information. All in all, I think the internet and Google are making us stupid.
