Response to: "Is Google Making Us Stupid"

This Article is written by a Man Named Nicholas Carr. I thought I would Google him partially because of the irony in it and partially because I feel like a response to an article can only be helped by a little research into the author of said article. He has a blog http://www.roughtype.com/ he has a web page http://www.nicholasgcarr.com/ and he has a Bio http://www.nicholasgcarr.com/info.shtml . Nicholas Carr writes about technology for a living. It's his main subject. He is a very interesting individual. As for this article, I believe it has a lot of truth in it. I for one have noticed a big change in the way I read sense becoming more involved in the world of technology. I find myself overwhelmingly relieved when a professor hands me a paper hand out to read as opposed to sending me to a web sight. I for one am easily distracted by flashing lights and blinking signs.

I do enjoy reading a paper copy of an article to read. That said, when it is time to research for a paper or a project I would prefer to search the web. We all know that when we are making a bibliography it is much easier to use academic search engines. These engines make the Bib for you. They are also pre approved by professors because they are peer reviewed.
