In the article “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” by Nicholas Carr, provides a different point of view about the internet that we would not otherwise notice. Carr used a specific lens that stood out to me a little more than the others. Nicholas Carr asserts “We risk turning into ‘ pancake people’—spread wide and thin as we connect with that vast network of information accessed by the mere touch of a button” (14). He refers to people as “pancake people,” widely spreading thin around everything, not having much of a deep meaning in life. Therefore, since everything is now in the network people are turning into a lazy useless phenomenon because as he mentions “the mere touch of a button” can do everything for us. An exhibit that supports Carr’s point is located on the Huffing-ton Post called “How Google Is Changing the Way We Think.” Author Alexis Fitts mentioned, ” Studies have found that people with access to search engines overestimate their intelligence, and that people who read online are more likely to skim.” This supports Carr’s point of view because this action causes humans to not fully understand and analyze the content being read. The issue with the internet is that it causes humans to use their brains less than if they were required to actually look for articles and/or books and read the information to then apply prior knowledge and information to further discuss the topic. I believe that Today, the internet serves as a huge distraction to the world and it has caused many social problems causing people to drift away from others. Therefore, it is agreeable since Carr has proved that google is really making us stupid.
