(Atlantic Magazine, July/August 2008)
I agree with his statement on how the internet has changed our ability to think. I used to be able to sit down and read what I needed to, or what I wanted to with no problems and no interruptions, but now it seems that there are way to many distractions. Not just the ones physically around you such as other people, noise, smells, or your phone. After reading for what seemed to be an hour, but was really only five minutes, I'll go check Facebook, watch a few YouTube videos to try and keep my mind awake then go back to reading what I needed to completely forgetting what I had just read awhile ago. I don't agree with the title, Google isn't really making us stupid, but I've noticed that there's something that's changing the way we think and how well we stay focused on the project at bay.
