1) Yes, Maybe! But more than that, it has opened new ways to today's generation to explore new things just on a single tap. From my perspective, at least for 85 percent, Google is helping and guiding us and the whole world. 2) After reading the author's thoughts on "Is Google making us stupid?", it makes sense. For one thing, even I feel bad for what impact does google has made is digital reading. Most part of the world has forgotten traditional reading. I feel bad for this because I love to read the book and to read from computer screens.
