Is Google making us stupid? By, Nicholas Carr, Describes how the internet can make us lose our train of thought when is comes to reading. Nicholas has been using a computer for over ten years, and ever since then, lost his train of thought when it came to reading long articles or books. He then proves his point by talking about some professors and researchers who also agree with him. Like, Maryanne Wolf. Maryanne Wolf is a developmental psychologist at Tufts University and the author of Proust and the Squid: The story and the science of the reading brian. She states that the internet may weaken our brains, to the point where we may not be able to go into deep reading, like we were before technology. Nicholas also shows how it used to be the same way with television, but now since we've changed our technology, we've changed how we think. Nicholas tells about how our minds change with technology, and how technology changes with our minds.
Is Google making us stupid? By Nicholas Carr, Illustrates how the Internet can make us lose thought or not concentrate when it comes to deep reading, books or articles. Nicholas makes a very valid point in this article. I also feel as if it is hard for me to read deeply when I read a book or a long article. I predict that maybe when technology grows, our thought process may not. Nicholas also makes valid points when he brings up, and speaks about Maryanne Wolf. Maryanne Wolf is a developmental psychologist at Tufts University and who is the author of Proust and the Squid: The story and the science of the reading brian. I also agree with how with the new technology we have people tend to ignore books. Nicholas Speaks out and tells how the most genius idea, may not be healthy for our brains.
