Is Google making us stupid part 3

Claim: "Our ability to interpret text, to make the rich mental connections that form when we read deeply and without distraction, remains largely disengaged."

Reasons: Carr reasons this claim by saying that reading is not somthing that comes to us naturaly like speach. It is somthing we have to teach ourselves and adapt to. "the variations extend across many regions of the brain, including those that govern such essential cognitive funtions as memory and the interpretations of visual and auditory stimuli." This is the scientfic proof, Carr goes on to say that our brains will change and adapt to the use of the net that will be different from reading books or other printed works. Maryann Wolf writes that the net is putting "efficiency" before "immediacy" and this may be "weakening our capcity for the kind of deep reading" before with simplier printed texts.
