Is Google Making us Stupid?

In the articel Is Google Making us Stupid? (By; Nicholas Carr). States that peoples minds are changes by the way they read the texts now a days. All because of the internet today, stating that the more we read shorter pasages on the internet the less we are able to read long paragraphs do to the adjustment of the shorter paragraphs on the web. People now say that they are not able to read long passages that used to come natural to them. In the artical it states that the informantion their reading from the media today has to be swift like a guy on a jet ski and in a swiftly moving stream of particals, meaning that if a pararagh is not as small and as detailing as it should be thenthe reader will wonder around and will have trouble focusing on the reading. This has happend to alot of people today I can't say it has happend tome because I dont read anything much at all, and just the other day I read a three page artical without even thinnking of anything els. It might have been the fact that it was an introsting artical and i just couldn't look away I had to find out what happend at the end. I feel that technology is making us dumber but it's hard to find it out your self because it just dosen't come in a second it takes a long time to finaly realize and do something about  it. We learn more by reading huge text books or alot of small ones, but how efficent is that on the web all the info you would wantcomes at a simple type and click. If it's eather cooking a hot dog to what the atomic mass of magniseun.
