Is Google making us stupid?


Theres an article talking about our incapacity to read indepth like books and novels, for people who love to read, because of the quickness of the internet, particularly search engines like Google. Our attention span is decreasing quickly. If you have the patience please read this article, hope it isn't to long.

I fail to see how Google could make people ignorant. I'd say the public is more aware now than ever before due to the internet.

Damn, that was a long article, and it's information content was fairly sparse.  More opinion than fact. I found it tedious.
