Article Response 1: Google Doesn't Make People Stupid

                I disagree with the article; I don’t believe that Google is making humans stupid. I think that if anything, that Google makes people smarter— if used properly. When used to its fullest potential, Google can help you learn multiple things very quickly! Also, contrary to what the article says, it is possible to read long articles even if you use the internet frequently. I do it all the time, whether it is a long internet article, long chapters in a book, or long news articles.

            I do agree with the article on this one thing, I do tend to find myself skimming articles more than I used to. As a general rule I will first skim an article just to see if it has what I’m looking for, and to identify the areas that I need to pay great attention to. Then, I will read the entire article from start to finish and extract all the good and useful information from it. This is one of the reasons why I love reading nonfiction, and why as a general rule, I would rather read the Encyclopedia over a fictional book. I love to learn things! As a general rule, Google is a great tool for a person like me to use and become even smarter.
