The article does a good job explaining how the internet is rewiring our brains. I do find myself being in the same situation where I have little to no attention span anymore then I used to. Finding myself to rely on the internet and making it be a factor in my life, both personally and academically. There hasn’t been a point in my life where I didn’t go “I think I should Google it.” And Carr isn’t wrong about the long term impact, everyone will only have the mental capacity to only rely on the internet because they’re basically programmed to do it. It is scary to think how much of an impact the internet has on everyone and it’s only going to grow. No more having the energy to go to a library to find a word when you can simply do that on your phone, which would always be another factor to the low attention span because why work so hard for something where you can simply do it with a tap on the phone.
