Toulmin model

Is Google really changing the way we think? Upon further thought I think that it is. I remember back in grade school I could sit down and read for hours. I read through the first two Harry Potter books, both over 300 pages, with ease. Once I started getting larger assignements that required research, I'd use Google to skim through and do quick readings. I think that this trained my brain in a way to only stay focused on reading for a short amount of time then move on to something else. Now I find it hard for me to thoroughly read a novel without loosing focus. In fact, I usually use Google to try and find sparknotes for books. Google is just a way to make research and finding information more efficient.
