In Nicholas Carr’s “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” ,featured in The Atlantic magazine, you start to say yes to the title. This generation of kids are being molded differently than older ones. To use we can find information in minutes when it took them
an hour in a library.
To Google reading long articles or books is bad. They want people clicking on different links and surfing the internet to different pages so they now how to lure people in. Their need ,or want, for money is causing our brain to change its thinking process. The more we surf the richer they become. They don’t care at all about how our lives are being changed as long as their successful.
Our minds are pulled in by short articles than long books. When you sit down to read a book you might space out and check your email, go on facebook or just surf the web. Younger minds are being pulled into short articles that sound interesting. The internet is a whole new and different world to us that draws us in.
So we may think that we control the internet but in reality its controlling our mind.
