Possibly. But I think it is one of those things that it depends on how you use it. Basically it's kind of there to help you find the answer to something you don't know, which in turn adds to your knowledge of random facts once you find it. I mean who knows what the capital of Chez Republic is right off the top of their head? Don't know? Google it. (that actually brings up the point that will new technology comes new words, especially in the form of verbs.) Come to think of it, I actually can't think of a con of google at the moment. At first it is easy to agree with the title of the article, and the reasons Carr lists, such as the professors inability to read for along period of time. But i don't think that's google's fault. It's just the evolution (or some might want to say regression) of humans. The world has become so fast paced and it's all about instant gratification. The only way to keep up with the crowd is to join in. So I say, if it's there, you might as well use it.
