Is GOOGLE making Us Stupid?

"Is Google Making Us Stupid", but Nicholas Carr writes about how internet is changing his way of life. That it is changing but not in a good way, He writes about how he once read books and read articles rather than surf the internet. He describes being fidgety and rather reading the full text he would want to skim. He notes that it is hard to stay focused on one subject when you can find millions of related topics. I believe this is to be somewhat true, rather I would want to believe that this is false. I would also want to justify that not everyone would be so preoccupied by google, but many people are preoccupied with other websites. I can understand that Carr would sometimes want to skim a large text rather read it word by word.
