"Get Smarter" Response

It's hard for me to share my opinion after reading this article. When I first read the Google argument, I totally agreed with it. After reading "Get Smarter" I've sort of changed sides. With Carr's argument about the way new technologies are affecting our ability to concentrate and faking intelligence, I agreed somewhat. Being able to obtain a fact off Google is so much faster and easier than searching through paragraphs of a book, but at the same time, more is read and learned when searching through the actual book. At the same time though, it's easy to agree with the "Get Smarter" argument because it does make sense that the faster the access we have, the more knowledge we have because there's so much we can learn in a shorter time period. I kinda just contradicted myself, but I agree to both in a way. I also agree with when the author talks about the evolution throughout time. All this technology is something we're just going to have to get used to and evolve around; it may or may not be a bad thing.
