Carr's article "Is Google making us Stupid" summed up how people are today. We look for the quickest way to get information without having to do all of the work. I even felt myself doing what he is criticizing while I was reading this article. Many times I would find myself skimming over the material. A lot of the material in the article seemed unnecessary and empty of important information, which leads to the reader just skimming through the paper and missing some crucial information that would have us develop other ideas.
Internet has trained us to look for the easy answer and get it the quickest way possible.
Literacy is now just being able to use the internet to search for an answer. Someone may seem smart, when in fact they have just found a little information on the internet.
Internet has made people more like each other and robots, where everyone has the same answers and nothing is left to be determined by the reader.
Curr uses the printing press, assembly line, and computers as examples.
The evidence provided was not effective, all of the things he mentioned bettered society and improved the way we lived.
Curr says that his worrisome opinion may be wrong, but he is saying that the internet is taking away the individual thought process and turning us in to robots.
