Is Google Making Us Stupid? (Toulmin Model)

Is Google REALLY making us stupid? That's what Nicholas Carr, a writer for the Atlantic Monthly, says. As sad as it is, I must agree with him, but need to expand on it. It's not just Google. It's the internet as a whole. Although there are many reasons for this, the main reason is time. It's extremely tedious to research using books and the library. In contrast, using the internet can take minutes as opposed to hours. When one uses the internet as a form of research, people skim many readings rather than really taking in the information given in a few readings. It makes you know the basics of more knowledge rather than the depth of that knowledge. It is assumed by Carr that all people have internet.
