"Is Google Making Us Stupid?"

Despite the fact Google is supposed to help to improve our lives, it could be causing more harm than good.

We live in an age where technology is making an attempt at an easier life, but modern technology might be making it too easy. Before technology, people read books and did a lot of research before they could find what they were looking for. There was a lot of effort put into it. Now, all we have to do is type key words into a search engine and everything related to our search pops up. It's all right there, in front of you, in less than a second. We no longer have to sit in a library for hours looking for the information we need in hundreds of books. Because of it, we do less pleasure reading. We are so used to having the key information appear in front of us that we get impatient quicker. We like when information is summed up for us. We no longer stretch our brains with a long novel because, sometimes, we can't remember the whole story.
In this day and age, if we can't find what we're looking for (or we aren't happy with the amount of information) in a couple pages, we lose interest and move on--to a new article, to a new topic. Perhaps with the ability to type coming into play (for those who can type faster than can write), our brains are simply processing their own information quicker than we used to. Because of that, the way we think changes. We are constantly trying to keep up with each other in ways of technology and thinking. When one speeds up, we try to quicken the other. It's a race to a finish line some infinite ways away.
