Changing the Way We Think

This article discusses how the use of computers change the way our brains work, it is argued how the visual stimulus we get from screen-based information differs from that of paper or books. Over time books are becoming less and less used as sources of obtaining information. Children in schools are learning more from online programs and sources. Nick Carr states that his use of computers have changed the way he thinks, that he does not think the way he used to. I believe the use of computers has had this kind of effect on everyone in some way or form. It is stated that through the internet we are only receiving bite size bits of information, which is true but through the internet you are able to gain information that you may not have access to any other way. The argument between the use of internet and books has both pros and cons, it depends on the individual and there learning style.
