"Is Google Making Us Stupid?"

In class, we just read an article called "Is Google Making US Stupid?" by Nicholas Carr. I felt like Carr's article related with my question, "Are we addicted to technology?" Carr argues that people rely on the Internet to get information quickly and use their reading skills electronically. We now skim articles and don't put too much deep thought into the articles we see. Carr believes that the Internet is not only changing the way we read but the way we think. Therefore, technology is affecting our minds and how we act. It is changing us as a generation. Is it changing us because we are addicted to it? How would you define an addiction; where do you draw the line? I think that Carr would probably say that we are becoming addicted to technology.
