The arguments of both authors are, hence, true and fairly acceptable but the charisma lies in keeping a balance between the use of technology (or specifically internet).&nbsp. Carr’ judgments about technology as being an evil are discussed in the paper in detail and evidence is gathered, both, to support and refute the claims.

Nicholas Carr focuses his attention on the search engine Google which is being used by almost every individual in the modern world. The author, Nicholas Carr, is of the view that although internet provides an endless pool of information, there are various inconsistencies about the information accessible on it. He argues that the internet has distorted the manner of our thinking, analyzing and reading. Carr’s arguments on using internet for reading and researching are strong. The author does not deny the easy access of information and help on almost every topic using Google or other search engines but emphasizes on the quality of that information accessed which is or may be questionable. The decreased use of published information and original research material being used is the point which Carr is concerned about. The use of Google or other search engines provides relevantly but to some extent unreliable information to the user.

He proposes that the internet provides us with ample space to waste time. He sees the internet as a broad system which takes up our whole attention and diverts us from the real necessity which needed to be fulfilled. This is quite true in many cases as the internet does not allow us to focus on one topic, task or software.
