Is Google Making Us Stupid?

Nicholas' Carr's, Is Google Making Us Stupid?, was incredibly interesting. It put your mind in a constant thinking mode. The article talks about how google, or the internet in general is shapping and re-forming how we think and how we operate. He talks about how the internet makes it feel like his mind is different. "My mind isn't going - so far as I can tell - but it's changing. I'm not thinking the way I used to think. I can feel it most strongly
when I'm reading." Not only did it cause him to loose his focus when reading articles or books ect, but it will happen to the best and most of us.

Is Google Making Us Stupid? opened a lot of thoughts that we usually never address head on. Whenever we have a spare time, we're always on the internet or our phones. We never used to be like that maybe ten years ago. The internet, Google especially has made us lazy. We don't need books anymore with them online and just a click away. We have everything in a book or magazine at the click of a mouse. We don't rely on such things anymore if we have Google. Google links us to the world in a way. The way we use the computer, search engines such as Google, and the internet, it is re-shaping us and how we think. Google has an auto-correct system, or a "did  you mean.." option to it as well. We don't need to type out a full thought or question without it guessing and assuming. 95% of the time, Google knows exactly what we're looking for and where to link us to. Whether we'll finally recognize our addiction to the internet, technology and especially Google, we'll never know.
