Is google making us stupid?

We have become immune to reading texts. Due to the fact that there is so much information on the Internet, we have become distracted by short and sweet articles. These articles are easier to read, and we are less likely to get distracted. We have become happy with the gist of the idea, and not wanting to find out the details of information. The Internet has effected our thought process because we are willing to jump to a conclusion and don’t care about processes information. The horrible part about that is that the Internet is not necessarily accurate.

I have decided to study the tweets by Kim Kardashian. I don't have a twitter, so I don't fully understand the effect of twitter, but I am learning. The reason I want to study Kim is simple. She, a very public figure, has the ability to leverage her power in the world. She has the ability to create herself in a variety of ways. There are so many people that look to her for fashion trends and often dream of a lifestyle like hers. If she was willing, she has the power to do some good in the world. I want to study how her tweets do the opposite of that.
