Is the Internet making us stupid?
I do not think that Google or the internet is making anybody less smart. Times are changing, and technology is too advanced for people to not use the internet. Skimming and scanning is a way to research a little bit faster in order for a person to know if the material is right for the topic. People are not becoming stupid due to the internet. I believe in fact that the internet is making people more aware becasue not everybody likes to read in the first place. More people can research because of Google and the internet because it is much easier and quicker. It is how the people process the information given to them. Processing is an individual thing, not an internet thing. Google and the internet are helping our society versus making our society stupid!

I agree with you, how can google make people stupid? It is no different than checking out a book from the library and only reading one page of the book to get the information that you needed. Good post!
