Summary Of Is Google Making USupid By Nicholas Carr

Google, this giant of the new technology, according to the author of the article submitted to our analysis, seems like an almost unavoidable application in all the currencies used in the world to the point where one could say that it governs and controls the individuals and the companies over the past years and today. Nicholas Carr in "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" submitted to our analysis is an illustrative case that shows the domination and control of memories in people. The author here will try to express the impact that this technology has on his ability to focus on reading and writing, reflecting, thinking, and perceiving the world. Carr begins his story to express his feeling of trouble and fear for his memory in full gestation and mutation,

From his analysis, it appears that, Carr, in order to convince public opinion or its readers, uses ethos to make credible its sources on the fact that everything that says about the Web is true. Using his personal experience, he will soon realize that he was not the only one to feel these negative effects of Google when he said: “I’m not the only one” (Carr). He cites an example of bloggers like him defending the same causes like Scott Karp who said: “I was a lit major in college, and used to be [a] voracious book reader.” Karp wrote:” What happened?” (Karp), and speculates on the answer: “What if I do all my reading on the web not so much because the way I read has changed, i.e. I’m just seeking convenience, but because the way I THINK has changed?”(Karp), and Bruce Friedman who said, “I now have almost totally lost the ability to read and absorb a longish article on the web or in print.”(Friedman) Taking Friedman and Karp as an example plus himself, Carr thinks he can convince the world the impact of the web on the

Here Carr expresses his emotion at the beginning for that he feels a changeover years. Carr described the thesis that technology leads to a weakening of our intellectual abilities. In addition in a year back, he was using internet like many other people by then he has seen the greed benefit we can get when we go online but at the same time he knows that he was losing his ability to concentered. He thinks is a robot referring to HAL. Another example of pathos is that “what makes it so poignant, and so weird, is the computer’s emotional response to the disassembly of its mind: its despair as one circuit after another goes dark, its childlike pleading with the astronaut (Carr)—“I can feel it. I can feel it. I’m afraid” (Carr)—and its final reversion to what can only be called a state of innocence” (Carr). In the information age, it is easy to have information overload! People can easily forget things, even if you have the best memories. The internet is essentially the collective consciousness of the entire human race, at least the ones able to log into the internet and contribute to it. We tend to forget that sometimes and over-rely on it and take our natural instincts for granted. Not to mention the thousands of hours of mindless garbage we waste our lives on while on
