"Is Google Making Us Stupid?: What the Internet is doing to our brains" is a magazine article by technology writer Nicholas G. Carr highly critical of the Internet's effect on cognition. It was published in the July/August 2008 edition of The Atlantic magazine as a six-page cover story. The essay builds upon Carr's book The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, From Edison to Google, in particular the last chapter, "iGod". Carr's main argument is that the Internet might have detrimental effects on cognition that diminish the capacity for concentration and contemplation. As the title indicates, the article specifically targets Google, although it also generalizes about the cognitive impact of the whole Internet and World Wide Web. The essay was extensively discussed in the media and the blogosphere, with reactions to Carr's argument being polarised. At the Britannica Blog, a part of the discussion focused on the apparent bias in Carr's argument toward literary reading. In Carr's view, reading on the Internet is generally of a shallower form in comparison with reading from printed books in which he believes a more intense and sustained form of reading is exercised.
