So I posted about a year ago about how I don't think Google is making us stupid, and my opinion hasn't changed much.
But I do have to say if one day Google and all of the internet has mad us stupid and dependant then it is our own fault. Personally I will never be able to ignore the call of a good book but that is because I had plenty of opportunity to sit down and read. When I was younger I didn't have cable so I had to play or read. I didn't get cable till I was in 1st grade and then I already had a love of reading in me. Sometimes my mother would have to force me to have some sit down reading time but I have always read.
If parents don't introduce their kids to books, and don't read so they can lead by example. So if Google makes us stupid it is our own fault for blocking books out of our lives and replacing then with the internet.
