Why does Carr (2010) argues that too much Internet use can negatively impact development?

1. Carr argues that the amount and accessibility of information on the Internet encourage people to examine ideas superficially, and this shallow processing is having negative effects on cognitive development. 2. He cautions that "when we start using the Web as a substitute for personal memory, bypassing inner processes of consolidation, we risk emptying our mind of the riches" (Carr, 2010, p. 192). Could easy access to computers actually have an adverse effect our our students' thinking and cognitive development?
