"Is Google Making Us Stupid?"

In Nicholas Carr's essay "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" he is talking about how spending to much time reading things off the internet triggers attention spans when it comes to reading long articles or actual books. Carr's purpose of this essay I think is to let people know that the way we think is changing. Carr states that, "research that once required days in the stack or periodcal rooms of the libraries can be done in minutes." He refferenced Maryanne Wolfe who is a development psychologist at Tufts University, and she worries that when we read we put "efficiancy" and "immediacy" above everything else. Wolfe says, "We are not only what we read, we are how we read." Google is a quick search ingine that people go to, to ask questions when they want a quick answer, but is it taking over the way we mentally use our brains? Carr thinks that they way we think and read is going to get worse. If you think about it, we are already really dependent on technology to save us time and money.
