Though the Internet is the main subject of his argument, Carr provides insight on other developments as well. By touching on the inventions of such inventions as the map and the clock, he explains that both “changed the way we saw ourselves and the way we thought” (55) and provides example of his idea that the modernization of technology changes our thought process. He illustrates through historical references, the progression of how we read and write. Such examples include: writing on stones and wood, upgraded to papyrus, to tablets, to paper, to typewriters, to computers. Growing up in a time that was predominately print rather than computer, Carr is quick to favor print reading.

Discuss the success of Jindabyne as a new text which brings the old to life for a new audience. Consider ideas, values, voice and medium in your evaluation. The success of Jindabyne, a film released in 2006, as a transformation of Raymond Carver’s So Much Water So Close to Home, first published in 1993, is debateable. Although it is undeniable that through a modern context and the use of film as a medium the story and ideas become more relatable, appealing and tangible to modern audiences and possibly even offer new meaning, certain elements of Carver’s story including the depth and complexity are sacrificed as a result. To fully analyse the success of this transformation one must consider the various ways in which the themes, values and voices have been transformed and the effect that context and medium and introduction of new ideas and themes has had on this transformation.
He agreed with his friend, and said under the sway of the machine, he “changed arguments to aphorisms, from thoughts to puns, from rhetoric to telegram style.” The story suggests that the Internet isn’t the sole reason for changing the way of thinking, but possibly technology in general. To go along with this thought, Carr also mentions how television, magazine, and newspaper ads have started using our new methods of absorbing information to create a compact and to-the-point advertisement design, further proving how our mind states have been
29 September 2009 Market Psychology: How Desires Play a Role New products are unveiled to us, as a society, at an almost overwhelming rate. When we are watching television, searching the internet, or scouring through a favorite magazine, the chance that we will be exposed to an advertisement in some way, shape, or form, is practically a given. In the video Slim Hopes, Jean Kilbourne delivers a well-documented critical perspective on the impact of advertising and the persuasive ways marketing companies use to influence society (Kilbourne). Generally, people do not linger on advertisements, so when dealing with a print advertisement, the impact it needs to make on a person has to be quick and strong. The product needs to be desirable.
The exponentially rapid growth of internet technology brings into our lives a connection with literature like never before, yet in many ways it has shifted the way in which we view the world. In an article titled “Is Google Making Us Stupid?,” Nicholas Carr argues that the development of internet technology as our primary source of knowledge is depleting us of the “quiet spaces” that stimulate contemplation and deep interaction with the written language and replacing them with distractions and deviations. Though he exposes the intriguing relationship this powerful medium has to our society, Carr fails to consider other aspects that cause a shift in our behavior towards written material. What we are losing, perhaps, deals less with our minds and more with our heart, the poetic center for what we value. We’ve become lazy in our efforts to contextualize our lives with the information that is so readily available to us and no longer prize knowledge as we once

In modern society, myth is often regarded as historical or obsolete. Many scholars in the field of cultural studies are now beginning to research the idea that myth has worked itself into modern discourses. Modern formats of communication allow for wide spread communication across the globe, thus enabling mythological discourse and exchange among greater audiences than ever before. Various elements of myth can now be found in television, cinema and video games. Although myth was traditionally transmitted through the oral tradition on a small scale, the technology of the film industry has enabled filmmakers to transmit myths to large audiences via film dissemination (Singer, “Mythmaking: Philosophy in Film”, 3-6).
