Is Google Making Us Stupid?

Is Google Making Us Stupid?Are we getting so used to 'Google' ads, news articles, and other Internet content that we have stopped understanding what the words mean? Is it because we can't read the English language anymore? Or is it because of what the general audience associates with these words?I am sure we all know that Google and other companies do not put too much emphasis on high school grammar. They use their systems to find very specific search phrases. Then they deliver these topics to the searcher using the most appropriate language in their search terms. Why should we expect that the same process will work in this case?If you have ever gotten an essay sample or a question answered on an Internet forum and the content of the article was different from what was said in the blog post, you are probably at least partially aware of the fact that the same language in the articles can make us both smarter and dumb. We hear one part of the word, but it applies to a whole different t opic altogether.You see, with the new way of publishing we have to be prepared for something like this. The Internet is different and with every new trend comes a new way of doing things. If you are just being lazy or reading the news you will always hear something that sounds like 'Google', but if you are reading an essay sample, you will think that the words mean something else entirely.It has also been said that the same words in an essay will require the same grammar, but if you are thinking about English as you might in a newspaper article, you will never be able to figure out what the sentences mean. This is one of the reasons why people get confused when they read in a newspaper.I have seen people tell me they want to take more English Literature classes, but the best way to learn grammar is by reading everything that you can. If you have a computer that is connected to the Internet, then go ahead and get an English course that is free.In conclusion, we do not need to be so i gnorant of what 'Google' means, and the essays samples and questions on forums will never convey the correct meaning. This is just one of the many ways that you are now faced with an increased knowledge of the Internet, or as my friend called it 'Being Googleed'.
