My Impressions on Karr

It sounds as though Carr is a believer in the internet in general. He sees how it can be useful and how everyone else has found uses for it as well.

The thing Carr seems to doubt is the ability of people to have much of an attention span after getting used to all the quick answers and fast flowing information on the Internet. People tend to just skim headlines and click on links until they get the answer they are looking for.  They stop trying to comprehend a whole body of work and instead just browse for Cliff notes. He explains how his own use of the internet over the years has seemed to reduce his ability to concentrate for very long on any one subject. Carr also describes how things may go downhill further where computers are actually doing all of the thinking for people, essentially making us obsolete.

Carr seems to imply that the changes that are occurring in the way humans read and process information will be a detriment to our race. I think people will adapt to process information how they prefer to. There will still be those who like to sit down and read a good book, but there will also be those who only read the 140 characters provided in their twitter stream.

Is Nicholas Carr

In my opinion, Mr. Carr was a doubter in the article about the internet and the way we think.  He had evidence supporting both arguments pertaining to the question “Is Google Making Us Stupid.”  A doubter would look at both sides of an arugument, essentially analyzing before coming to an ultimate conclusion.  Carr in fact had long and “drawn out” facts and opinions on both sides of the matter.  If he was a believer, the article would be (readably) short as well as less supported before coming to a comclusive decision.
