Is Google Making Us Stupid by Nicholas Carr


First “Stupid” is a very crude word, so I will avoid using it. From “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” Carr points out the way people, including him research information for their writing on the Internet. This is changing the way people read and think by their senses. He explains that the more people use the Web, the more people can not stay focused on long written pieces. With only a few Google searches, they then click and quote what is right there. From his points people stop listening to their senses and follow the quick information and use the network media as a quick, brainless solution. From my opinion, Google does not make us ignorant (stupid) but shows how increasingly lazy people who think that they are smart. On the other hand, Google helps us save time with reading for only one quote; and we are able to save money, instead of buying a lot of expensive books.
