Reading Response Three (Is Google making us dumb?)

      For this weeks response we were told to read an article attached to the blog about how the internet makes us dumb. While I couldn't agree more with the authors arguments, this article made me angry. Nicholas Carr, the author of the article states in his second paragraph,

"Now my concentration often starts to drift after two or three pages. I get fidgety, lose the thread, begin looking for something else to do. 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."

    My question is, if You know how hard it is to read a lengthy article, why would you write such a long article? I don't know if he was trying to prove his point even more or if he just gets paid for word, but that was ridiculous. I could not agree more with his arguments about how hard it has become to read a lengthy article and keep focused. Reading really has become a struggle especially something that has some hard words and complicated thoughts. 

     I feel like my generation counts on technology way to much. We not only publish our loves on facebook, but a lot of us would be lost without our smart phones. If there is something we can't figure out, we pull out our phones and google it. I can't really criticize anyone else for doing it because I am just as guilty. 

    I liked the content of the article but they way it was written was very hard to read and at times very repetitive  I had a very hard time reading through it and it took me a few times to do so.
