Artifact #3

Nick Carr is the author of "The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains," talks about how the internet is changing how we think and go throughout our day. He says that it is becoming a hard task to just sit down and read a book because of all the distractions and other things that we could be doing. With these distractions it comes with the change int the way we focus on everything. We are starting to get a shorter attention span and we choose to multi-task more than ever. In every day tasks we just don't stay focused on that one thing, we have multipule things going on like a simple thing as checking our email, many people have music playing, logged on to Facebook, and texting all at the same time. Today, there are just so many dpistractions and other opprotunities that it is hard to do one thing at a time now, we have become people that have to be doing something from the time we wake up till we fall back asleep. In so many ways the internet is changing us, and most people have very different views on this topic. I believe that it has helped us as well as harmed us in some ways and I think that Nick Carr's views and ideas are very interesting and have some information to back it up, and with this said I hope that the Internet is not ruining our brains.
