This is your brain on Google...

I have just read a fascinating article:

Is Google Making Us Stupid?

It talks about the possibility that because of the internet and search engines we have lost the ability to process lengthy texts of information. We are so used to searching to find an answer, that the actual substance of what we are trying to find is lost. The article goes on to state that many people have shorter attention spans and no longer read long texts. Try not to skim the article, if you do perhaps Google and the internet have already rewired your brain.
