Nicholas Carr

In the essay "Is Google Making Us Stupid," by Nicholas Carr he states that thinking deeply is a thing of the past. He states that the Internet is changing the way we think and process information that we read when he says "[My] mind isn't going-so far as i can tell-but its changing."(par. 2) He feels that as a society we are to easily manipulated and very attention deficit.

Carr also explains that reading and writing has become more difficult and that he and his friends have noticed troubles in these departments. Carr explains this idea saying "Im just seeking convenience, but because the way i Think has changed?" He believes that only after long term study's are done will we truly understand the impact and consciquences of the extended use of the internet and computers.

The last pages of Carrs article explains that artificial intellengence is the goal of the google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page and how we could turn into an artificial intellegence ourselves in the future. Carr expresses his worries that we are trying to turn ourselves into robots. He says "Their easy assumption that we'd all [b]e better off, if our brains were supplemented or even replaced, by an artificial intellegence is unsettling."(par. 28)
