Google stupid questions

1. Carr's mind has changed based on technology and how we have come to view technology. He mentions how he and his friends can no longer sit and read lengthy material they just skim through things because technology, namely the Internet has made access to information so easy and quick. 2. The Internet has allowed mass amounts of information to be easily accessible and all in one spot. New ideas, revisions of old ideas, etc. show that information is constantly changing. The Internet allows things to be updated nonstop. There is also a constant flow of ideas from person to person on the Internet because we have access to so much of each other's stuff. 3. Carr mentions a study from the University of London about online research habits. The study showed that the Internet has created a "new way of reading" including "power browsing." He also mentions The New York Times now has short snippets of the news for it's readers; alluding to the fact the a popular piece of media (NY Times) had to recognize and conform to the way people now read & think in order to remain appealing to thier audience. 4. Carr is worried that we will automatically start to automatically rely on the mass amounts of information the Internet and Google provides to us. He mentions how we will become like "pancakes," wide and flat. So essentially, we will have a wide knowledge base full of mass amounts of facts and whatnot but we will be flat, meaning that we will have no depth to our thoughts. Carr suggests that our intelligence will become "artificial intelligence" which is what Google wants to do with the Internet.
