1.When Carr says his mind his changing he means that the way he thinks is changing. He find himself getting more distracted while he tries to read and he is unable to finish a long essay or article anymore.
2. Carr does not really like the internet but he does see some good in it. Research that would have taken him days using books can now be done in minutes and as a writer that is very helpful for him.
3. In the 9th paragraph of the article it talks about how "we are how we read." When using the internet to read you expect you get your information quickly, so thats how we read, quickly. We lose our focus quickly because having to read a lot isn't what we use the internet for. We try to be efficient when using the internet. And having to read a lot isn't efficient.
4. He does not want everyone to have to rely on Google for everything. People nowadays are using Google for some really dumb searches. He thinks that eventually everyone would go straight to Google rather than picking up a book and doing actual research.
