Google and The Internet Is The Blame For our Stupidity and The Dying Newspaper Industry

The internet is an online source where, people can get almost any type of information need for them. The internet is like a mother for you when doing research for information, but in actuality is it making us Stupid. In the opinion of Nicholas Carr the writer of the article Is Goggle Making Us Stupid? , Is saying that because of the internet "deep reading used to come naturally has become a struggle"which he is basically saying those reading long passages like two or three pages use to be the thing of the past, because of the internet he lost the interest in reading? I disagree with Nicholas Carr opinion you can’t blame the internet for your lack of reading and understanding, just because the internet is there does not mean you have to let it run your life and let it established the type of reader you become. The internet is a privilege to explore new information, and it should be used a source to help you, not to make you "stupider."
In the article The Internet Is No Substitute for the Dying Newspaper Industry by Chris Hedges, Hedges made some points that I agree with him but also I disagree. He is talking like the internet will end civilization like really!, I don’t think it’s that serious. Although everyone today basically has some type of online access, which means that almost everyone turns to the internet and does not need to buy an newspaper to get information. The internet is taking the place of the newspapers is the point which I agree with Hedges, because the newspaper industries are losing money. Soon newspaper wont be around any more because they would not be needed and everyone that has a job working for newspaper companies would lose their job. I could understand that he fears that people would lose their jobs, but would the internet really hurt us. If the internet makes us so mindless and makes our reading skills get demolished, do you that it would be public to us. I think Hedges has been a little dramatic with the idea that the lack of newspaper would end the world, it won’t, we’ll find some way to get over it. But just like Nicholas Carr, I don’t agree the internet is taking away from our reading skills. If a person wants to read novel or an article sometimes it could be done online, I don’t see the problem with idea reading it on a screen or actually holding it in your hand. I think it’s all up to the person and their mind. If you want to become a better reader, all you have to do is put the time, effort and don’t be lazy and you will benefit from it.
