After reading Nicholas Carr’s article about the internet,it made me have a different view of the problems it causes not only to us physically but mentally as well.  I thought before that the internet was a useful tool that helped us look up information or anything of our choosing, I believed that it will lead to greater things.  Back in the days when the internet was made, it was saw to be a great thing at first but while the internet progresses so does an individual.  Nicholas Carr made me see that the internet can have its negative affects, negative affects being that people change the way they read, think & the way they even use the internet to their own benefit.  The way people read nowadays has become a struggle, “I feel as if I’m always dragging my wayward brain back to the text. The deep reading that used to come naturally has become a struggle.”(Pg.5), it’s become a struggle to them because they have a relied so much on the internet that all they do is skim through every reading that is handed to them . They skim through readings because they know the internet will provide them with a summary or the answer they are looking for from that reading. In addition to the internet affecting our minds, it affects us but it benefits others.  It benefits others because sometimes they would use to the internet for cyber bullying because it’s makes them feel better and they can also use the internet to rob peoples money.  The internet is a really useful tool however it depends on who uses it & how they use it.
