While I would certainly not use the word 'stupid' to describe how Google, as well as the Internet is changing us, this change is definitely evident. Even as I was reading the article by Nicholas Carr, which was talking about concentration, I could barely concentrate. I did not even read the last few paragraphs because the article just seemed so long. It is ironic that my brain was demonstrating the exact flaw that the article was talking about.
For someone like me who is always interested in learning new pieces of information, and curious about practically everything, Google is the greatest tool I could ask for because as soon as I want to know something, I can have an answer in less than 30 seconds. However, I can not decide whether the benefits or negatives hold more weight. I am slightly fearful for how the internet will impact the generations who grow up with it from the minute they are born. Will ADHD rule the nation?
