Carr

While reading Carr's article "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" I chose to read it on the computer, I find while reading that I can better focus when I'm reading something off line rather than on printed paper. My assumption of why I prefer to read stuff like that better, is because when I'm on the computer it doesnt feel as much like homework than when I have stuff printed in front of me and I can see the thickness of the packet i have to read thru. I tend not to really get distracted or click on anything extra while reading. However, i do catch my mind dirfting off and wondering if anyone good is on facebook or if i have any news updates which can get a bit distracthing while I'm trying to concentrate on what i am reading. I agree with carr though, i think the internet is making people i wouldnt say stupid, but more lazy. we no longer have to flip thru pages of stuff to find answers, we have online dictionaries and basically everything you can imginage on line at your finger tips where no flipping of a page is necessary, no digging thru books trying to find the answers. So i suppose i agree yet disagree with Carr. I wouldnt necessarily say google or the internet is making us stupid as a soceity just more lazy and not willing to read as much.
