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

Kirsten Laman ENGL 1301-61507 Professor Jackson 30 October 2014 Cognitive Effects of the Internet The book The Shallows by Nicholas Carr states that the introduction of the internet into society has had a profound effect on our culture. In other words, the internet has affected the way people think, read, and remember. The rapid access to tons of information has also affected people’s behavior making them less patient and less productive. According to Carr, “The Net commands our attention with far greater insistency than our television, or radio or morning newspaper ever did” (117). In today’s world, the internet has become essential to work, school and entertainment.
The mass media is the means by which messages and images are communicated to a mass audience, it does this through its various Mass Communication Technologies (MCTs), and for instance the Internet is a very powerful and influential MCT communicating worldwide. MCTs educate, persuade and inform as well as entertain their audience. Media is geographically dispersed and has no limits due to its global domination. It is also culturally diverse and socially mixed. Pluralists believe that the mass media is reflective of social reality, and acts as a 'mirror'.
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
A Humanitian . Quantity of Unlimited Text Stephen Marche’s article “The iPad and Twenty-First-Century Humanism” is about the importance of how the rise of the Internet and the advancement of technology has de-materialized the notion of text. In his article, Marche discusses the need to sort out good information from the bad ones from the vast sea of unlimited text. Marche focuses on the emergence of unlimited text, the devaluation of material, the rebirth of credibility, and the challenge made to humanists. Thanks to the advancement of technology the use of the internet is far greater than before.
He explains how people are on a disadvantage when they rely on e-books rather than books. Carr uses very meticulous instances to illustrate his way of thinking and then he uses his logical discussion to prove that Google is making our lives more “machinelike” and lazier. The instances and references used such as results of reliable studies and opinions from people from a variety of professional background are well-organized, which proves the profound knowledge of the author in many fields. Since this source has strong. Since this article strongly disagrees with those who support the use on internet for daily tasks like reading, this article helps me to lay my argument that internet deteriorates our reading ability.
