'Is Google Making USupid?'

In addition, not everyone agrees that technology has a positive impact on writing. In the article “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” (2008), Nicholas Carr argues that the easy accessibility of information on the Internet doesn’t benefit people much. Carr believes this because the information provided on the Internet does not require much effort to look up, which affects the ways we read, think, and write on certain subjects (Carr) It is not always true. In the article “Studies Explore Whether the Internet Makes Students Better Writers” (2009), he reports on findings to determine whether or not technology has a positive effect on student writing. He quotes Stanford student, Mr. Otuteye and his belief on the effect of technology on student writing.
