Article 1 Response: "Is Google Making Us Stupid??"

          Reading this article was extremely hard for me to do. It was boring and I have no interest in learning about my brain changing. As I was reading, I had to stop and take mental breaks because I was literally getting a headache from reading it. I'm so thankful Mr. Hall came in to talk to us in the middle of me reading this article because if he hadn't I probably would've given up on it and not finished it. 
          The main topic of this article is how our brains are changing as the web becomes more popular. The internet is very convenient and makes research a lot easier. I think we are basically getting lazier. The article gives some quotes from outsiders about reading as they get older and use the internet more and I think those quotes were spot on. “I now have almost totally lost the ability to read and absorb a longish article on the web or in print,” says Bruce Friedman. I agree completely and can relate to this quote. Friedman blogs daily and he can no longer even read an article. I would agree that the web is limiting our 
attention span as we get older.

          This is how I felt while reading this article.
