Trying to reflect the fears he has instilled in himself in comparison to an unrealistic movie. I believe the Internet hasn't changed the way everyone says it has. I think people born into the world of technology have the ability to analyze more deeply what is needed and look for an instant answer when it is not necessary. On the other hand, those who have been forced to adapt, like Carr, find themselves losing abilities they once relied on because they were taught growing up to do both things. Now that the Internet has forced them to adapt, they can no longer focus on both types of thinking. The complexity of our minds runs deep and cannot be made superficial by the ability to obtain instant gratification from information. We just start excluding unimportant things, once the important thing is found it can be analyzed. Although Carr says his mind doesn't go as far as it used to, that's clearly exactly what he did in this essay. He used the old “traditional method” of over-analyzing unnecessary things to arrive at a point that eventually becomes irrelevant. Clearly his use of logos, ethos and pathos, while present, was not enough to prove his opinion true.
