Carr, N. (2010). The web shatters focus, rewires brains. Wired. Retrieved from http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/05/ff_nicholas_carr/
Carr(2010) asked, "What kind of brains is the Web giving us?" This question might sound something new to most of us, but he added that the said question will surely be the main topic of scientific studies in the coming years. News about these diverse effects on the web are are already around us and we might not notice it, but it's been giving us bad results. More researches conducted by psychologist, neurobiologists, and as well as educators arrive at a same conclusion: "When we go online, we enter an environment that promotes cursory reading, hurried and distracted thinking, and superficial learning. Even as the Internet grants us easy access to vast amounts of information, it is turning us into shallower thinkers, literally changing the structure of our brain."
