"Is Google Making Us Stupid?"

1- This article is speaking about how the way people read has changed so much over the years. Years ago, it took a lot of researching and digging to find out information. Nowadays, everything is accessible with just a few minutes on the internet. The article speaks about how people have changed the way they think because of the way that they are intaking information. Now that people don't have to go out and research the facts about things, it makes it easier to just skim the surface and read what is right in front of you, rather than reading in-depth.

7-Yes because I do the skimming too. I also experience the not reading as much part. I used to be a big reader and now that I have gotten older and used more technology, I do not enjoy reading as I once used to.

8-It matters because now a days people do not get as much out of reading as they once did. People do not take in as much as they once did and really get a chance to understand the reading if they do not take the time to go over it.
