Is Google making us stupid?


You might think “How come?” because we definitely learn from the net. But does it not happen to you? Can you still really enjoy reading a good book; immerse yourself totally into the reading, creating your own “movie” in your head?
I have never really thought about it, but apparently Google is making me stupid, too! It is rarely now that I can concentrate on a good book, and actually enjoy reading it, forgetting about time and everything that surrounds me.
It is because I have been trained and have trained myself to look for and find information as quickly as possible, and I only scan everything- deep reading becomes more and more difficult because my brain is programmed not to actually understand information, but to have it available.
Do you not find it scary that are brain is actually changing? And that it seems that we are losing our capability of contemplating?
