1.) Is google making us stupid?

I can understand how one would come about this question in their mind, but i do not agree with it all. If anything Google has expanded our knowledge, maybe not exactly with things we "necessarily" need to know. With such ease anything you want to know is just a click away. I do not understand how Nicholas Carr can question Google when he quotes Scott Karp's blog. A blog that is only possible with technology, including Google. I think search engines are necessary to human kind and there's no going back. Google does so much for us all from entertainment, knowledge, research on papers, questions, communication, directions and the list goes on. One negative thing I might say about Google though, is that it's not making us stupid, it's making us lazy. Instead of having to get up and go to the library to do research, anything we need to know is at the comfort of our phones, laptops, computers, ipads, and tablets. We have the convenience of not having to leave our homes for anything really and as a result thus making us lazy. I personally can say that at times I do really on Google for things I have no answer to, but without it it may take me anywhere from hours to days to figure such a simple question. I think it's just time to face it that we are living in a world with such an ease as a result of the advancements of technology and that things have changed greatly over the years. We are in a technological worl and it's time to adjust and just accept it.

2.) How would the world react if there was no more Google?

3.) Are libraries becoming a thing of the past?
