After reading the article “Is Google making us stupid” written by Nicholas Carr, he brought so major points as to why he believes the internet is making us lazy. Out of all of the points that he made in the article, one point stood out the most. The point he made was that the internet is making us “pancake people.” What he meant by this is that we as humans are spreading the use of the internet. It has become a major part of our lives. We always have to be on the internet looking at the latest video that is trending, we have to use the internet for our homework, and other distracting things. The reason why we’re “pancake people” is because just like a pancakes spread, we spread on the internet. We go from one website, to another website, to another website. We rely to much on the internet and we don’t really use our own heads when it comes to project, everything is on the internet. It’s not only the internet. It’s our phones in general. When ever someone text us we have to respond right away, we wake up and look at our phones, when we walk, we look at our phones, when we want to check the weather, we have to look at our phones. We can’t live without our phones is what Carr is saying. They have become a big part in our communities and everyone on has to have them. In today’s world you’ll see a three year old with an iPad, a seven year old with a iPhone, and a thirteen year old with a laptop. It’s like everyone have to have something nowadays and it is making us lazy. Also when people go to events, all you see is people on there phone, posting the “great time” they’re having at the party on Snapchat, Instagram, or Facebook. It’s like there isn’t an escape from the internet in today’s world.
