Is Google Making Us Stupid?

I enjoyed this article, only because I agree with it. It is not so much the internet or Google is making us stupid, I think it is making us lazy. I mean 99% of the time I get on my laptop and say I am going to study the notes that day. As I begin normally facebook, or a simple question on the study guide gets in my way. I can spend ten minutes scrolling through my notes to answer the question or I can go to any search engine and type it in the box and have my answer in a matter of seconds. Google, has made life too easy on people. I cannot wait for the day that something goes wrong and Google is down for a few hours. People are just going to go insane, I know it. As for staying focused on long pieces of writing? The internet has made it so that we no longer have to. Say you have a 200 page book to be read by 9a.m. tomorrow. Honestly, I really doubt that is going to happen. Most people would just get online and spark notes the book and read the summaries of it and bam your done. Like I said, I don't think that the internet is making us stupid... if anything we should be applauded for using our resources better. I would however agree that it is making us extremely lazy.
