Who better to argue against the internet than Carr? The internet destroys the traditional book. The book is disapearing due to the fact people read short summaries or articles on the internet. The internet is shutting down books stores everyday.
So I start to think. Who better to fight and turn people against the internet than an author like Carr. Carr writes books and a growing population turning against the internet would probably increase his sales in books. Like every conterversial topic there are two sides. I feel the authors of the world of course are resentful of the rise of the interent and how it has destroyed the humans will to read long passages.
I am not saying Carr’s book is biased, because he includes facts within his argument. But for everything he says it does not apply to all. The idea of telling someone that the internet is bad because you can learn just as much information in a short time rather than reading a book for 4 days is just selfish. No matter what positives the internet might bring I doubt we will see them raised in this book anywhere.
CARR- ” DOWN WITH THE INTERNET”
