is google making us dumber?

To whom it may concern, today i am going to converse about an article i recently read, called "Is Google making us stupid?". In this article the writer Nicholas Carr talks about how he has felt he mind changing. He feels that his attention span is significantlly lower and he blames this on the internet and more specifically Google. I feel that he is correct in this sense because google has created a medium that is so easy for us to obtain any information we want. With google we can obtain a plethora of information in mere minutes, even seconds. because of this, people have become lazier and more prone to just googling questions rather than using their brain and trying to figure out their questions. Because of this our brains have adapted to being able to obtain information without having to put much effort into it. Even though i feel that google is making us dumber, it is my favorite medium of media. it is my home page to when i open up the internet and i have a toolbar for it for easy access when on other sites. Even though it has handicaped our society, it is one of the greates tools created by mankind. It has created a medium that is vastly used and can quickly supply anyone with any information that wish to obtain. what do you think about google?
