   Nicholas Carr, the Author of The Shallows states that Google provides the ability for many people to find too much information very quickly. He also states that “Who doesn’t love Google’’. At the same time he claims that what Google is doing to our people is bombarding them constantly with messages and other facts and that people no longer need to think. Google is encouraging us to think superficially and is making people  shallow and causing them to not use the power of their  brains to their full potential. As a student at LaGuardia Community College, I totally agree we the author Nicholas Carr because Google has made it easy for everyone and I can say that I don't" use" my brain as I did before Google.

   Before when people need it to search for information they used to go to the Library and really did the researches for themselves,but now as no need it because Google has everything available for you with toms of information that some time we don't know what to pick.So why not love it. In my opinion the majority of people in today’s world think that the majority of information that they getting is all true. How we know which one accurate just because is there available doesn't meant true.For example, nowadays if we asked a body a particular subject they don't have an answer instead the response is Google. People no longer stole important information like the way people did in the pass.Another example of that is that we can not memorized  facts, phone number, dates,  like the way we did.

   Google is also a big negative influence on our new generations because children don’t have any more imagination ‘’why have it” if our children only need to Google all the facts, pictures, words. When I was in school I remember drawing beautiful pictures, or coloring then, but now the only thing children due is Google print, cut and paste and print, so I don’t think that the new generation is really learning like the way we uses to learn before. What this is doing to our children as like the author states is creating children with shallow brains. That for me is very scaring.

  What people really needs to start doing is to pay more attention and allow the brain to work for what it is for. Even though Google has provided us with very useful information with all the facts. What we can do is take our power  back by minimizes the use of Google and maximizes the use of brain cells.

  In conclusion even thought Google is a good tool to obtain information I believe we should use it is part of overall knowledge instead of the main source of information.
