After reading "Is Google Making Us Stupid" I feel that a lot of what the author says is true.
"They found that people using the sites exhibited “a form of skimming activity,” hopping from one source to another and rarely returning to any source they’d already visited."
I found that I do the same thing, and I also started to skim the article as soon as I started reading. The article also mentions how reading longer articles on the web is hard and is easy to loose concentration, while reading the article I agree completely. I also feel myself that Google makes us smarter as a group with internet access, but slower without electricity. Google is revolutionary to the internet and forever changed the human race accordingly. I think that the way people use Google makes them dumb but if people just use common scense along with Google people can adapt to use the internet in a smarter way.
