Is Google Making Us Stupid?

The document discusses whether Google is making people stupid by providing vast amounts of easily accessible information online. While Google allows quick access to data, some information may be superficial or fake. The author argues that it depends on how users engage with information - those who rely on untrusted sites may gather unreliable information, while those who use trusted sources can access accurate data. Ultimately, whether Google makes people stupid depends on individual users and how they approach the vast information available.

Title: Is Google Making Us Stupid? What the Internet is doing to our brains?

I. Background of the issue

In today's era, the internet is becoming a universal medium. Google is one innovation that the
internet has. Google is one of the biggest public internet domain web hosting. Data that Google
provides are sometimes different from the books that we have today. Some data from the web are
skipped, skimmed, and summarized.

Does Google really make people stupid? With the data on the internet with multiple sites and
multiple information, some of it are just superficial and some are not. Pancake people - the
widespread data but lack of information. People are not stupid but it just happens that the world
wants us human to become smarter. User, on the other hand, they skip sites with full information
and prefer to read short articles for them to save time.

Fake news is widespread on the internet and Google cannot determine whether its fake or not and
unfortunately some users gathered that information.

As what the author of this article was focusing is the issues on people who engage on vast
information through the use of web. He’s also referring to the way of reading of the user.

Carr is pointing about the mental capacity of our brain over a vast data on Google. Our brain cannot
store large amounts of information. That's the reason why sometimes we forgot the information
we read on the internet rather that information we read in books.

II. Conclusion:

Learning keeps our lives more productive with the help of internet. Learning process varies on
each person depending on the user and the data that Google has. Education is one of the most
needed in our society. The knowledge that we have can be shared with anyone using Google. The
services that Google gives to user like information and data we need on our everyday life. Google
also gives different techniques and many ways to students especially on calculations. One of the
main goals of the Google is connectivity on information to the user. Google is innovating and

facilitating on so many levels in our society. We can explore on data with no limits. So, is Google
really making us human stupid? That will depend on the user. Some users rely on untrusted
information through untrusted sites, while others are gathering information on big company sites
which have an accurate data.

“Is Google making us stupid”, this title is a bit harsh for the readers, this topic is not about stupidity,
better yet, use the word laziness rather than stupidity. Google influences us to a world wide web
full of information. Finding information on books versus searching it on Google with a few clicks
saves time. Google makes our lives more productive and efficient.

Most mobile phones and tablets are somehow run by Google company like Google Play, Gmail,
Voice Search, Google+, Maps, Chrome, News, and even YouTube. There's even an AI called
Bixby where we can talk and command what we want on our phones - like setting up an alarm,
call or message someone, play music, book a cab, or search for something that we need. Bixby run
through voice commands.

In my part as a student and a traveler, Google doesn’t make me stupid at all but it makes my access
more efficient in many ways like the use of Google Calendar that notifies my schedules, Google
Earth that navigates my location and helps me on my travel itinerary, Google Drive that stores my
documents, images, contacts, and Google Fit for my daily workout routine.

Google apps are a collection of office programs offered by Google, allowing users to connect and
share information remotely. The suite features email, calendar, word processing, spreadsheet, and
presentation programs, integrated to share information quickly and easily between applications.
Google Apps offer significant advantages to users, but there are a few drawbacks to consider before
shifting your organization’s activities to this online provider.
