In his essay “Is Google Making Us Stupid” Nicholas Carr Claims that the way we read is changing do to the use of internet. Instead of spending the time to read everything that is in front of us we skim for important words or concepts. The internet has many distractions that it is hard for the user to concentrate on the reading. In his essay he talks to Scott Karp a lit major who altogether stopped reading. He also talks to Bruce Friedmen who admits that reading blogs more than three paragraphs is getting hard for him to do. So do to the internet people are not getting into the deep reading that they use to do and beginning to skim more.
