“Is Google Making us Stupid?”, an excerpt from his most recent books Nicholas Carr states that the internet is wrongfully affecting our cognition. His belief is that reading from the internet is chipping away the capacity for concentration and contemplation resulting in the inability of reading long pieces of writing. We as humans are push more to a form of skimming activity. Thus making us what implacable playwright Richard Foreman describes as “The Pancake People”. Absorbing information and distributing without full knowledge of it. Technology is having a huge impact on our way of comprehending information.
I agree with the point that Nicholas Carr made in the sense that millennials are being lost intellectually as we advance technologically.
