Is Google making us stupid?

The author Nicholas Carr expresses his viewpoint that Google makes humans’ brains become worse than before such as reducing the tolerance of reading a long writing and thinking an idea out slowly.

The first six paragraphs attract readers because the author used a story and his ideas about that story to catch readers. This makes me feel interesting and think some things happened around myself. For example, he introduced a situation after the appearance of Google that people can read some short stories very fast with their electronic tools, but they cannot tolerate the long writing. Before Google appears, people were very good at reading articles on the books and they could concentrate on the long article. For my experience, “deep reading” exists and sometimes I can use that. Deep Reading is a kind of feeling that I can only concentrate on the reading whatever any things happen. I can read a writing so fast and understand that with this condition. After I uses Google so many times, it is hard for me to get the “deep reading” condition.

I agree with the author Nicholas Carr’s opinion that expanded knowledge from online “content” is not enough, because all information that we can find from internet are updated by other people. They put their opinions in their writing so that we can only accept the information that the author wants to show us. It is hard for us to know more details and get the conclusion by ourselves. These information that edited by other people blinds our minds in some areas. There is a popular sentence in China which means “first impressions are strongest”. Because these authors give us the first impressions, we always think their viewpoints that bounded by the strongest impressions.
