Are we really that lazy?

Three days and four teeth later I bring to you people my blog! I was not their for Mr. D to present the ideas we are suppose to focus or zoom on in this blog so as usual it will be a vast amount of random crap that no one should really be allowed to read. As Nicholas Carr states in his “Is Google Making Us Stupid” article we are changing in our reading habits. I remember reading books before I would ever pick up the remote and now today we pick up the mouse rather than become deeply immersed in a book. Becoming deeply immersed in anything seems ridiculously hard today, with the Internet giving us the vital needs of whatever we need we just skim for the hearty chunks and leave the rest behind! On my blog page I have had a survey going and so far the majority of people who have voted picked the “I skim” option! This pick and choose, Carr states seems to be derived from the internet because the information is so easily accessible it does not seem necessary to even read the whole article. Why read the book when spark notes gives you the gist of it? Even Cat’s Cradle is attempting to attack television , the media giant of his time, with short passages to keep the attention of the reader. Maybe in newer texts we will have to shorten that even further, sentences will become nothing but short hand. Carr continues his thought when he dives into artificial intelligence, as he states “The human brain is just an outdated computer that needs a faster processor and a bigger hard drive” With Google attempting to create an artificial intelligence that is literally smarter than the human brain as so to “serve” the human better, basically this relates to the human into instant gratification of information as so we don’t have to add that much more of a word so the computer will think for us so we have to do nothing we have become so lazy that thinking is too difficult for us to do! Sorry for the terrible grammar again 
