Is Google Making USupid Nicholas Carr Analysis

“Technology should improve your life...not become your life”(Billy Cox). We use technology to make our life easy, but it becomes our life. For example, we can stay alive without food, but we cannot live without technology. We use different technologies in our daily life. Days without technology seem colorless. The Internet is becoming the most important part of our lives. We found impossible living without the internet. Internet is the storage of information. It is what we use in our daily life for communication, education, work, health, and entertainment. It makes our life easy by giving us much information about different kinds of stuff. But “Do we use this information wisely?” We depend on the internet for everything today. There is no

With the Internet being available for everyone, we can find the solution easily on the web. We obtain the information that the internet provides us rather than analyzing the topic and think critically on our own. Instead of reading the long article or book, we look for a summary or response on the internet. We aren’t able to read a long article because we can find a short version on the internet.

We don't, we just try to find easy ways. We think that reading a long article is too much. We just skim through it and get the main idea. We don't go into deep analysis. For example, If I read the summary online, I don't have to read the long article because I already got the concept of the

We are losing our ability to think critically because we are getting lazy. We do not use the internet wisely. We know that the internet has the answer to our questions. We try to find all the answers on the net, instead of asking someone personally or try by ourselves until we reach the solution. My friend said that it depend more on the person, how he uses the information. She said, “the internet can be useful if we used the web to grow our knowledge or information purpose.” She further adds, “ It depends on the person how he uses the internet.” If we use the internet to increase our knowledge, then we are using it wisely. I think we should use the internet when we need it. Everyone recognizes its effects, but why don’t we consider making these negative impacts into positive? We should try a little harder on doing hard problems by ourselves before giving up in front of internet
