Is Google making us stupid?

    I just finished reading “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” by Nicolas Carr. The article was interesting because Mr. Carr grew up with books, magazine, televisions and was introduced to the Internet at a later age; therefore, have mixed feelings about the technology. Mr. Carr says he and his friends are noticing many changes with how they read books or think about things in general. Younger people may not understand his point because they have not had similar experiences. 
     I agree that people have been changed because of the Internet such as the amount of information that is available to us has increased dramatically. It becomes harder to focus on one source for a longer time and we are becoming lonelier despite having hundreds of friends on Facebook but sadly we do not have friends next to us to listen to each other. In the article, it said that, “Google is trying so hard to build artificial brain that is smarter than human brains.” Even though this sentence is controversial, the thing that makes me scared is that it is already happening and happening fast.        The fact that I am so comfortable using the technology makes me loose some of the anxiety. 
     Is Google making us stupid? Maybe yes and maybe not! What is certain is that it is changing the world so fast and making it such a small place. My question would be actually, without Google, would we have been smarter right now? J?”
