Summarry and claim points on Carr's essay

In the essay “Is Google Making us Stupid?” which is a magazine article from “The Atlantic”, by Nicholas Carr, I have read over his lengthy discussions, and have found some interesting points that he has to make, along with references and his own personal opinion. In this text, I have received the view and tone as Carr referring to Google being widely acceptable and easily to use in today’s society. The article in a nutshell, has different views from journalists, all the way to philosophers, and in very interesting how subtle arguments go back and forth in this text. After reviewing my notes, and also taking a deeper look into this article, I think I have narrowed down Carr’s main claim. In the 4th paragraph of “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” I have found an interesting part of the article in which Carr describes his philosophy as so, “For me, as for others, the Net is becoming a universal medium, the conduit for most of the information that flows through my eyes and ears and into my mind. The advantages of having immediate access to such an incredibly rich store of information are many, and they’ve been widely described and duly applauded.” (Nicholas Carr) I feel as if I am feeling exactly what Carr is describing as the Net being a “universal medium” in which we can find anything and everything we want with ease! It’s not only finding articles for research papers, society doesn’t even have to leave home to order clothes, electronics, books, or just about anything. For our world to have such easy access to articles, perfect quotes, we can find anything and everything that we want about a subject, and the written information that will be typed will probably be the best direct quotes, and/or information we are looking for.
As for another interesting aspect, farther along in the article, a, man by the name of Frederick Winslow Taylor is introduced. Taylor would work what he called his “system”, by walking in and timing workers at a Steele plant, and working towards “maximum speed, maximum efficiency, and maximum output..” which is later directed to how the internet has been made to run today. Conventional wisdom has it said today as, “The internet is a machine designed for the efficient and automated collection, transmission, and manipulation of information, and its legions of programmers are intent on finding the “one best method”-the perfect algorithm-to carry out every mental movement of what we’ve come to know as “knowledge work.” (Nicholas Carr) By stating this, Carr is saying a very complex claim, and it is very, very, debatable. I myself agree with Carr on this, and am very enthused that I have the ability to use the internet for my convenience, and for studying on my own time, instead of digging thru books to find the right quote I want. I think what Carr is getting at, is that the internet is now a system that we can find directly what we want, instead of having to dig thru a bunch of useless knowledge to get what we want to achieve. That pretty much sums it up for me.
