Our Dependence On The Electronic Tools

Janet Abbate’s Inventing the Internet explores the history of the Internet as "a tale of collaboration and conflict among a remarkable variety of players." (3) Abbate’s writing concentrates on the Internet’s development through social and cultural influences. The book explores the evolution of the Internet from ARPANET to global networks. The Internet’s expansion has existed within an interworking web of innovators; government and military, computer scientists, graduate students, researchers, cable and phone companies, network users, etc. The details given by Abbate affirm the book’s claim that the Internet was not

The internet has revolutionized the modern world like no other invention has before, except perhaps, electricity. The internet allows sharing and collaboration to take place between people on opposite sides of the globe. Vinton G. Cerf, often called the “Father of the Internet”, admits that when the original idea of an “intranet” was in its infancy, there was no possible way to imagine all of the ways we would come to use it (NDTV, 2013).

Never has a communications system played so many roles in our lives--or exerted such broad influence over our thoughts--as the Internet does today.

Rightly dubbed the information highway, the Internet today offers not only the best in quality merchandise and up to date information, it also offers a myriad of educational experiences for those desiring to further learn about the many cultures found on this planet.

Carr had experiences of his own working with the web. He researched other writers with similar views on the subject to support his own thesis. Using evidence from different reputable sources helps draw in the reader and shows them the widespread effects of the web. Carr states that one of the articles he gained information from said, “It is clear that users are not reading online in the traditional sense”(94). The way we read now is considered as "skimming through titles, contents pages and abstracts going for quick wins”. Usually when people read on the Internet, they do not spend the time to read the entire article, and it is seen that people skip from text to text, focus getting lost quickly.

While trying to attract the reader, Carr utilizes a lot of expository claims. He thinks about the distinctions of the past and the present and how he feels how it has changed himself, as well as others also and how they can understand and center because of the developing way of the web. While looking at this, he aggregated research from a few credited authors who feel the same way he does about the impacts of the web. Carr utilizes individual experience, striking symbolism, and examination supported by research to snare the viewer in and induce them that in today's general public, the web is bringing about predominantly issues.

The author compares the difference from the past and the present and how the internet has changed not only himself, but others and the way that they are able to understand and focus due to the long-term use of the web. While comparing the past and the present the author gathers information from well know writers that feel the same way about the effects of the web. The author's choice of personal experiences, vivid imagery and analysis backed by research hook the reader and persuades them to believe that today's technology is causing mainly problems.

Carr article emphasizes on how the internet has completely changed our way of thinking, from the negative viewpoint. The internet today has become our primary source for almost everything, reading, looking up information, etc. It has been common today to dismiss the idea that when we read online, we are disengaging with the text and therefore we are not able to interpret or make connections. His argument discuss the idea that even though the in internet offers us efficiency, in the process we are diminishing our learning experience. Although I agree with Carr that the widespread use the internet has a huge impact on the way individuals search and process information, I cannot agree that all of these changes are negative.

The web is a worldwide PC organize giving an assortment of data, permitting individuals the simplicity of gets to and productivity of finding the information they crave, however there are a few disadvantages to the web. In the article "Is Google Making Us Stupid" the writer Nicholas Carr's subject on the web is that the data that is expressed to is so efficient and effective to information that our minds don’t processes as well as retain the knowledge thrown at us. Carr contends that the web is rewiring his cerebrum. The way Carr believes is divergent, making basic considering, breaking down, and revealing verifiable dialect in the content exceptionally troublesome. He fears that the web make us lose the not just the capacity to hold the information

As he observes, the amount of data available in the Internet forces us to change the way we process information. We no longer have time or patience to read through the text, analyze it and draw our own conclusions; instead, we rather mechanically skim over pages, and paragraphs in

The development of the World Wide Web has served as a profound educational technique for the way we teach and the way students learn. As technology has become

It's an incredibly surreal experience to consider the Internet not as something magical or intangible like the Matrix, but instead as something as physically corporeal as plugging a vacuum cleaner into the wall. After watching Andrew Blum dissect the multiple processes and components that allow the Internet to function, especially in such a conversational tone, it seems almost silly that I have never before thought of the Internet as an engineered machine built and maintained by real-life people. Most people are already subconsciously aware of the Internet as a man-made creation, but they probably don't spend much time thinking about what actually makes it work. When connecting to a worldwide network is as easy as pressing a button, it's relatively

The data is then sent back through the system to the original user. The information that is on the data coming back could have came from a wide array of sources such as books, financial markets, embedded chips or even made up by someone trying to fool the user. The History? The Internet is first

The conceptual foundation for the creation of the Internet was significantly developed by three individuals and a research conference, each of which changed the way we thought about technology by accurately predicting its future: Vannevar Bush wrote the first visionary description of the potential uses for information technology with his description of the "memex" automated library system. Norbet Wiener invented the field of Cybernetics, inspiring future researchers to focus on the use of technology to expand human compatibilities. The 1956 Dartmouth Artificial Intelligence Conference crystallized the concept that

The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the internet protocol suite to link billions of devices worldwide. Many people today have access to the internet and therefor a vast collection of knowledge just a few clicks away. The Roman philosopher Seneca worried about information overload nearly 2,000 years "Whats the point of having countless books and libraries whose titles the owner could scarcely read through in a whole lifetime?" he wondered. In Too Big to Know, a book on our current age of unlimited data, author David Weinberger observes that those long-ago Cassandras now seem like whiners, “drowning facedown in puddles of information.” Today almost everyone has access to the internet in some way, shape or form. Be it the library or a friends house people have nearly limitless tomes of knowledge at their fingertips, but many people don 't have the luxuries of the internet. War ravaged countries and those in poverty do not have the privilege of the internet. People
