An author that contributes to this point, Nicholas Carr, argues in his article, “Is Google Making Us Stupid?”, how the internet is turning people into weak-minded thinkers. Carr states his argument by bringing up multiple points such as how we’ve become too dependent on it, how we’ve spent a lot of time doing unproductive things on it, and how

Throughout the last decade, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networking has grown to become worthwhile for use in business models and Internet applications.
