Reformat of the Brain

Is Google Making Us Stupid? by Nicholas Carr

This article focuses that a new way of thinking is being made in our brains due to the more concise format on the Internet articles found now. Since the main focus now is to catch a readers attention many have adapted their broadcast information to surface content. Since the Internet can provide different interruptions when one reads there was no choice, but to follow in this adaptation. The author points out through scientific research that the brain has been taught to rewire itself to think for this writing style. So the gradual change of mentality came because it is fairly easy for the brain to adapt to this which it has done in the past when the printing press came out. That is why with the branching of this new concise efficiency to keep wanting to bring better service of information is changing the long in depth articles of literature from what it use to be. Google is a main contributor to this because of it being the most favorable search engine and high investor in this journey to bettering the process of information. Google's constant way of wanting to constantly making something better puts the worry of going to far on depending on machines to think for the human brain. This ends on the note that one must not lose the quality that makes a human intelligence to be replaced with artificial content.

Nick Carr and Scott Karp: Is The Web Making Us Stupid?

This article is in agreement with Carr on pointing out the new methods on reading the Internet in a more concise manner by "small chunks", but not in that it makes the individual mentality lacking. This goes on to how reading is a tool that is learned and something to be utilized in spreading ones idea in "big chunks" from one reader to another. Now the Web has come to alter this to a new pace when reading. Which results to people adapting to these new methods.
