His primary arguments seemed to be examples of his own difficulties. He states “Immersing myself in a book or a lengthy article used to be easy…That’s rarely the case anymore.” He continues to write of how his mind starts to wander after a few pages, and he looks for something else to do; reading has become a struggle. Carr says the culprit is the Internet itself, basing his accusation on how in today’s society we can obtain information after just a few minutes on the Net. The media today has started to give us information in as limited amount of words they can allow, so we as users can skim the information we desire then move onto the next sliver of info. He believes our minds have been altered to expect all information the way the Net hands it out: “in a swiftly stream of moving particles,” as he put it.

Most people find that looking things up on the internet is distracting because you are already on the web so why not check YouTube for a funny video, or update your status on the social network.

They reconcile, and the next season, Leslie, now married to Scott, roots from the
As our society develops a greater dependence on technology, in an effort to connect our world globally, the level of sympathy and intimacy in communication and interaction is declining. Through endless options of social networking, it is easier to connect with those who live far away, who would otherwise receive paper and pen letters. Though, in today’s world, instead of taking the time to write a long thorough and sincere letter, busy lives provide the luxury and accessibility of typing a few words of gratitude and kindness paired with only having to press the send button, instead of enjoying a nice walk to the post
Do we really need them? If you are a fast texter, do we really need a slow texter in our lives? My biggest pet peeve is slow texters. I admit that I was a slow texter before but I become a way faster texter less than a week unlike some people in my life where they take forever to text.

Internet helped us to communicate with the ones we loved especially those who are far from us.

Some people will support Carr by saying that the internet really makes us dumber but I’m on the opposite side because I defiantly think it makes as smarter especially with this technology that keeps improving as years come. All these things we have today and are able to access to will not be available without the internet because people or researchers wouldn’t have been able to get accurate information about what they were looking
Sarah Kliff, author of “Facebook: Why I Hate it…” writes, “I have no idea how many hours of my life I have wasted on Facebook.” I agree with this statement because it is true. We have wasted so much time on Facebook and other forms of technology that we have lost time for other, more important things.
