Is Google Making Us Dumb

In the article "Is Google Making Us Stupid," many points were made and thereafter justified with evidence. One point in particular stood out to me; Maryanne Wolf said that "we are not only what we read, we are how we read." Immediately I thought of the great change and development between my generation and the ones that came before mine. When Wolf references "we are how we read," I believe she is referencing our claim as the technology generation. The drastic change and upgrade in technology has made information of all sorts easily accessible. I don't believe google is making us dumb, I just think that it is providing information to a generation of people who are used to the fast pace of the world. the accessibility of the information provided on google is just trying to keep up with the times in which we live in. The world isn't the same place it was twenty years ago, let alone ten years ago -- so as the times change, so does the technology, information, and the way we access that information.
