1. we think that when Carr says his mind is "changing", we think he means how you look at information and how you look it up on the internet verses reading it in a book. In his piece he says " Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a guy on a Jet Ski. ". whe he says this, we think that he means that its faster to use the internet rather than read.
2. One advantage of using the internet is the speed. How fast you can find information. Another would be its very universal. It can be used for anything and everything now a days. A disadvantage however is how it can be a distracation and how not everything you read is actually true.
3. "We can expect as well that the circuits woven by our use of the Net will be different from those woven by our reading of books and other printed works." meaning your mind works a different way when reading pages verses reading something off the screen.
4. Carrs primary concern with this piece we believe is that we are going to get lost in the internet and consumed by things that are not true. that the effects of the internet is a negatiave influence on the mind and thinking process. it makes it to easy to just go to another tab or page to look for the answer your looking for rather than challenging your mind to think.
