Topic > Google and intelligence. "I Google" by Nicholas Carr...

Google and intelligence "I Google Making Us Stupid" by Nicholas Carr is completely irrelevant. Without the internet, learning would be much more difficult. Using the Internet helps us learn in a completely new way. We are learning through exchanging connections of ideas that people, scholars, and other organizations have made. The Internet has made society lazy but not stupid. With the help of the Internet we are becoming a more diverse and technologically advanced society. Carr says: “I don't think the way I used to anymore. I feel it more strongly when I read. Diving into a good book or long article was easy. My mind would get caught up in the narrative or the turns of the discussion and I would spend hours wandering through long stretches of prose. This is rarely the case anymore. Now my concentration begins to waver after two or three pages. I get agitated, lose the thread and start looking for something else to do. I feel like I'm always dragging my wayward brain to the text. The in-depth reading that used to come naturally has become a struggle."(111)Nicholas Carr says this change is due to the fact that he spends all his time online. He thinks the web is a good tool but it hurts his concentration. I believe the Internet is the only distraction in this world. There are many other distractions such as: children, work, cell phones and hobbies. I feel like his quote “Once an underwater pilot in the sea of ​​words like a boy on a motorbike of water,” he is right. I feel like we don't go as deep into information as we used to, but I feel like we learn a great deal of information by aping many different websites. You get different points of view and understand each other better too... middle of paper ......life has become lazier, as I used to say before the era of manual labor ended. We have become so lazy that we have to look for simple things like how to tie a tie or how to fry an egg. Instead of just understanding it, we take the simpler route and just look for it. I think Google is a great tool but it makes us lazy, not stupid. The Internet has many benefits, we now have endless information at our fingertips at any time of the day. People can now share their ideas with others around the world and get a different perspective. Anyone with access to the Internet is able to instantly get any question answered by experts in that field. We may be lazy, but with a more connected world we are able to exchange ideas and see possible answers to our questions. The internet is making us more diverse, educated and able to advance faster.
