Blog 6: Google=Bad?

Nicholas Carr should change his article title from “Is Google making us Stupid?” to “Is Google making everything easier?” because after reading Carr’s article it seemed his argument was that the internet is making things easier for us. Maybe he put the word “stupid” in his title because we are doing less to research and answer questions that come up. Instead of reading a book for a couple hours looking for the answer we can almost instantly come up with the solution using search engines on the Web. It could be very possible that the internet is making us smarter because you are getting more opinions on the question you have, not just from an author of a book. Websites that show up first when you search Google are qualified for a justified answer to your question, so you’re not getting a reading the wrong answer to your question. Maybe on the fourth or fifth page of the search websites lose credit because answers can be misleading, which is why the internet can sometimes be a bad source of info. The internet is not making us stupid, it’s just making research much easier and faster.
