Is Google making us stupid ?

I liked this article because it does bring up some great points, but to answer the question " Is Google making us stupid? " I would have to say yes and no. When you are writing information in a paper for school and you have to describe different various topics yes of course you are going to search the web and see if you can fins bunches and bunches of information fast. I believe that the internet is a great way to find information fast and easy but I think a little too easy. The internet has made it a little to easy for people to find infromation quick and fast. When you would look up facts of information you would take your time to look in a book and maybe highlight or pick out the key and main points of info that you might want to put into your paper. Now when you go to type a paper or some type of article all you have to do is go to a computer type in the topic you are searching for hit go and bam! It is right there in front of you. That is just too easy. I really have no room to talk on that part of the subject because I use the internet for everything, but that just goes to show you that it is really too easy to use google or any other search engine to find your information because you are really having someone else do the job for you. Now you don't want to take the time to look through a book and pick out the information yourself, or find great articles of info in like a book or a magazine no, you want to just type in the subject click the button and have someone else do the work for you. That is why today the internet is ruining us and making us look lazy.
