Not Stupid, Just Lazy

After reading both articles, I came to the conclusion that Google is not necessarily making us more stupid, but it simply making us lazier. In the "Is Google Making Us Stupid Article," by Nicholas Carr he mentions that in this day in age, information is simply at our fingertips. It is true we no longer turn to books to seek information but why would we if we can find the same exact information online. Just because millennials would rather spend their time researching an assignment online as opposed to reading it in a book, does not mean they aren't absorbing the same amount of information. Technology is always going to continue to advance, so instead of living in the past and speaking of what we use to be able to learn, we should be reading more articles about how outstanding techonolgy truly is. People used to spend hours looking through textbooks to find one line of information and the fact that we can Google to answer any question, is remarkable. As long as the internet is being used in the correct way, to read the news, learn new words, and read articles it can only enhance our knowledge.Therefore, Google is not making us more stupid, but just giving us the opportunity to access information much quicker than before.
