Is Google (or the internet generally) making us stupid? How does the author define stupidity and intelligence? Do you agree with Carr's definition or would you define it differently?
Carr suggests that the internet is encouraging us to think "more efficiently" in the same ways that Taylor's system of streamlining the manufacturing process made factory workers labor more efficiently. Explain what Carr says was the essence of "Taylorism" and how it relates to new forms of "knowledge work." (Hint: Look closely at how Carr describes the method Taylor used to make workers more efficient and what he claims the creators of Google assume about intelligence).
According to Carr, what kind of efficiency does the internet promote? Is efficiency always good, and what might be its cost (i.e. what is lost)?
Carr admits that we cannot know today exactly what might be the future fallout of new technologies. What examples does Carr give of cultural consequences that could not have been predicted when a new media technology was first introduced?
Some critics have claimed that Carr's essay does "not actually seem to be about thinking, or even reading, but culture." What does this mean?
Does reading books really lead to more "deep thinking" and concentration than reading online? How does Carr characterize the difference between online reading and book reading? Do you think it is important to preserve the type of thinking and reading habitsassociated with books?
Does Carr leave us with any options other than opposing/bemoaning the expansion ofInternet use in our daily lives?
In his closing lines, Carr warns that as we "come to rely on computers to mediate ourunderstanding of the world, it is our own intelligence that flattens into artificialintelligence." What does this mean? Do you agree? Why or why not?
