What I really related to from "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" is when the author talks about how the Web is chipping away at his concentration and contemplation. He said it is difficult now to sit and read a longer literary work because he is always reading articles and information online that is shorter. I feel the same way. If I want to read something or find something out I just type it into Google and read very quickly. When I have to sit and read a longer book I have trouble. Last year in English it was difficult for me to fully absorb the information on the page because I am so used to skimming through articles and readings. It is a problem that our generation is facing. Even reading the article I found myself being distracted.
