Changing the way we think

I do believe that the Internet and these large search engine have changed the way we think and the way we expect things to be, notably instant gratification. The speed of the Internet has made us as a society impatient, unwilling to do the hard work, like look in a book, to get answers to questions. I find my self experiencing what Carr was talking about when he explained how his mind drifts after only a couple of pages. There does not seem to be any end in sight in the reprogramming of the way we think. We as a society will just have to learn to adjust to this new way of thinking. I'm sure there is a pharmaceutical out there that can help us get focused, more of that instant gratification.
