In the article “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” author Nicholas Carr tries to convince readers that we are loosing interest in literature due to the internet. This made me wonder if we should or shouldn’t be using the internet. He says in his article “Immersing myself in a book or a lengthy article used to be easy. My mind would get caught up in the narrative or the turns of the argument, and I’d spend hours strolling through long stretches of prose.” He goes on to say how more recently he has had a hard time staying focused along with others he has asked.
The whole article is on how our brains are changing and I have begun to wonder if it is true. It makes sense that we are provided with whatever we want to know and it has changed the way we live dramatically. If we really are loosing are reading abilities and getting dumber how do we change it?
