How does Nicholas Carr answer the question "Is Google making us stupid?" and what evidence does he provide to support his answer?

Is the word choice and grammar correct?

In the article titled" Is Google Making Us Stupid" written by Nicholas Carr, he supports the concept that surfing through the Web has actually made us lose a lot of our capacity of concertation and instead of reading thoroughly we have become accustomed to skim through the information. Nicholar Carr goes on to state how he isn't the only one who feels unfocused because of the Web, he goes on to say that Bruce Friedman, a blogger on the use of computer in medicine, has reported how he isn't capable of reading and obtaining the material out of a longish article the way he used to, due to the use of Internet altering his way of processing information. He then brings up reliable sources to support his argument about losing concentration due to the Web by stating how the University College London also reported a change in the way we read and think from the five year research program they conducted, which tackled two popular research sites and found that people tend to skim from one site to another and evidently read no more than two pages of an article or book. When Carr states "The clock's methodical ticking helped bring into being the scientific mind and the scientific man. But it also took something away..........In deciding when to eat, to work, to sleep, to rise, we stopped listening to our senses and started obeying the clock", he is comparing the clock to the computer by stating how both are helpful but overpowering and make us adapt to them too much, that we can no longer operate without the use of them.
