Nicholas Carr, author of “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” strongly feels like media, search engines, and technology in general is changing society and the way that people act and think. I believe that Carr and his colleagues are being over dramatic with their stance on media. Carr addresses skeptical readers like myself when he says, “Perhaps those who dismiss critics of the internet as Luddites or nostalgists will be proved correct, and from our hyperactive, data-stoked minds will spring a golden age of intellectual discovery and universal wisdom”. I am one of those skeptics that Carr is talking about here. I feel that Carr is correct that a golden age of discovery and wisdom will be the result of our media filled lives.
