Has anyone ever thought about a robot assistant or teachers teaching on television screens? These ideas may become present in the future if technology advances. In Nicholas Carr's article, he uses the book The New Digital Age, written by Eric Schmidt and Jared Cohen, to discuss the technological world that may be present in the near future. Nicholas Carr summarizes their research in a paper investigating whether technology infuses humans with additional amounts of information that could threaten government control. The purpose of Nicholas Carr's article is to further explain Schmidt and Cohen's knowledge and also add his own thoughts. As the Internet produces more information, government agencies will be more likely to exercise complete control over this rapidly growing technology. Schmidt and Cohen state: “Government intelligence agencies will use the Web to spy on rival nations, stealing trade secrets, copying classified files, and spreading disinformation” (quoted in Carr). The authors point out that only a few individuals, such as professional hackers, will be able to stay out of the government's line of sight. Schmidt and Cohen assert "...that only the most geeky and paranoid among us will be able to stay out of Big Brother's database" (quoted in Carr).

Although most of the article is based on logic, it seems that Carr added a little emotion to reach the reader in a way that makes his point fully understood. The New Digital Age by Eric Schmidt and Jared Cohen creates multiple theories of the technological world that Carr summarizes to develop his own opinion. The authors support their work with statistics and research to convince the reader that this will happen. While the source may have questionable credibility, this technology has not yet been developed and one can only speculate about what the future holds. Carr's article is more logical than personal, but he adds a touch of emotion to his article, which draws the reader into his argument..
