After reading "Is google making us stupid" I think that our knowledge has changed by not just by increasing use of internet but by technology in general. I think that society's obsession to move faster and get things done quicker has forced our minds to keep up with the times. We want to scan articles (i will admit i did not read Carr's article thoroughly) and find what we need as fast as we can, and obtain the basic information level, rather than digging deep and completely understanding what the author is really trying to get at us, nor do we remember or take the time to learn small details. I think if anything technology has made us more distracted rather than making us stupid. I think that overall technology helps us be better communicators, but maybe not help us in developing a deeper desire for knowledge.
