Internet or a Book

Would you rather read a book or surf the Internet? I think it is just easier to surf the Internet. The article "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" by: Nicholas Carr is about how the Internet is affecting us on how we learn and read. It states that most people these days don't pick up a book anymore. They would rather just skim the web to get information. Some people can't sit that long or understand what is being said when reading a book, so they would rather just skim through an article to get the information. The way technology is changing it is just easier to skim through things. It also states that we may be reading more then we did in the 1970s or 1980s, but just in a different way.
