Article 1 Response

This article is mainly talking about the internet overpowering books. Nicholas Carr states that " Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a guy on a Jet Ski." He is implying that before the internet came about, books were all that people had known. He used to read all the time and have a wide vocabulary and attention spand, toward more difficult literature but now he skims the internet. Others are also aware that this has been happening over these past years. Scientists have done studies and they have predicted that the current and upcoming generations will learn differently than people used to because of the internet and how we read.
