Post 6: “Is Google Making Us Stupid?: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains” By Nicholas Carr


In my opinion, Google is definitely not making us stupid. I is simply a search engine in which us, the students, or everyone in general, can look up important information and keep up with the world's biggest news and occurrences. Our problem is that we use it for the wrong reasons. 
 

Some of the wrong reasons can be either looking up opinion-based videos or articles that can change our beliefs or the way to view information. The biggest problem is, we believe that those articles are stating a fact and not an opinion. This can make us what some people would call “ignorant,” and cause them to blame Google for our own mistakes.
