Toulmin Model- - Is Google Making Us Stupid?

In Nicholas Carr's article "Is google making us stupid?" he states that the way we used to think is different specially when reading. Before most of us used to go hours and hours reading a book or an article; it is totally different now."That's rarely the case anymore. Now my concentration often starts to drift after two or three pages.I get fidgety,losethe thread, begin looking for something else to do." as for myself i do the same thing i start reading a book and get distracted or start to look for somethin else todo after the first to pages i read, like going online searching something else or reading my email or going into my social site. Another interesting point that he makes is that "for me as for others, the Net is becoming a universal medium, the conduit for most of the information that flows through my eyes and ears and into my mind. The advantages of having immediate access to such an incredibly rich store of information are many and the been widely described and duly applauded." I agree with because there is a lot of information on the web that we could learn from. It also makes it simpler to read something in just minutes like an article or a newspaper which are free online than having to go to a store and purchasing thos items an spend more time doing so then reading.
What is really interesting about this article and still haven't figured out is that why would Carr write an article about google if he is not going to be talking about google at all he basically just talks about the web itself.
