Is Google Making Us Stupid

I found the article "Is Google Making Us Stupid" by Nicholas Carr to be interesting, although I strongly disagreed with what he was saying. Throughout his article he only focused on the negative effects of the Internet on today's society. The Internet has had a major impact for anyone using it, especially Google. Google is one of the most brilliant search engines created. It allows for people to access information quickly instead of reading through books for hours. Being able to get instant access to information makes research a step easier. The answer to your question is not just answered after you type it in. It involves going link to link and reading the results that come up. It simply just reduces the hassle we have and is way more convenient compared to going to a library searching for a book related to the topic. All through school I have always used Google as a reliable source to get information for projects. If it was not around then everything would be way more complicated and my projects would take longer to get finished. While people are on the Internet, it is their choice as to what they do. I know that I do not read everything that I open up, some things are so long that I just read to get the information I need. Everything in a reading does not need to be read, and sometimes the best thing to do is just skim through it to reduce the time it takes to read.
