Nicholas Carr explains in “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” some negative effects of technology. He says that he feels as if somebody is tinkering with his brain. I understand the feeling described in the reading, but I personally do not feel the same.

I’ve never been a reader. I would have books, but I just wasn’t interested in them. My mom would tell me not to play games too much, to read a book instead but I felt like “why waste my time reading a book when I can be having fun doing something else?” I just cannot focus on a book. Sometimes, reading a book for class can be engaging, I feel like I’m starting to like a book. I believe that the idea of a book that I like ending eventually is what makes me not want to finish. I would love to read books, but they must have multiple parts to it, like Percy Jackson. I loved Percy Jackson because when I finished the first one, I found out there were like 4 more after, along with 2 movies, so its like the story never had an end. After that series, its like if reading just became boring to me.
