I feel like Carr meant that because it’s so easy to just search up a topic and get so much information on it our brains don’t really need to think much. When looking in a book, you have to find the book, the chapter, then your topic, then break down what you wrote, make sure you fully understand and then use your research. With all this modern technology all you have to do is type in your topic, and worry about how you’re gonna word it. Carr definitely has a point. We’ve become so dependent on knowing that the internet will have what we need we don’t ever do any real digging for info. Millions of articles and sites pop up with all the information. When I was younger, I did walk to the library and I used to walk all around the library, find my books and either research there or at home. From me doing both I definitely noticed a difference. I definitely become a little lazier with researching. In earlier years I would research weeks before an assignment because I knew how long it would take. Now, I could put aside 1-3 hours to research and put together the evidence that I need. The internet gives both. It gives us all the knowledge we want right away, but it kind of takes away the learning sense of it. With researching now, I don’t really hold on to the information for as long as I did when I spent days reading and re-reading it. Now research is more for the assignment or whatever you’re researching for rather than actually taking anything away from it.
