Nicholas Carr in his article examines the idea if "google" really has made the modern american somewhat less intelligent. When he refers to google, in a sense it can be viewed as something much larger, the internet as a whole, and even other forms of modern technology. Giving many reasons for these ideas, internet has taken away the patience we have then reading books and long articles. In addition we no longer seem to be able to absorb any type of text that seems to be in excess. In order to support this claim Carr mentions how when one reads articles and researches through internet sources, we tend to skim through very rapidly, and jump from page to page and source to source only selecting what we need to know, and not diving deep into it. Further more through these accusations Carr warrants that everyone has access to the internet and uses it similarly.
