Has anyone ever thought of a robot assistant or teachers teaching on television screens? These ideas could become present in the future if technology advances. In Nicholas Carr's article, he uses the book The New Digital Age, written by Eric Schmidt and Jared Cohen to discuss the technological world that may be present in the near future. Nicholas Carr summarizes their research in an article to discuss whether technology enriches humans with additional amounts of information that could threaten government control. The purpose of Nicholas Carr's article is to further explain Schmidt and Cohen's knowledge and also add his thoughts. As the Internet produces more information, government agencies will be more likely to demonstrate total control over this rapidly growing technology. Schmidt and Cohen state: “Government intelligence agencies will use the Web to spy on rival nations, stealing trade secrets, copying classified files, and spreading disinformation” (qtd. in Carr). The authors point out that only a few individuals, such as professional web hackers, will be able to stay away from the government's sights. Schmidt and Cohen argue “…that only the most brilliant and paranoid among us will be able to stay out of the Big Brother database” (qtd. in Carr). Carr uses Schmidt and Cohen's book to discuss how the government will impose more restrictions on Internet use if the technology becomes more advanced. As noted above, Carr is elaborating on Schmidt and Cohen's book to inform readers of what the future might bring to individuals as technology cultivates. One of Carr's arguments is that growing technology can become a negative innovation rather than a positive one. For example, “By 2025, most people in the world… middle of paper… and the Internet will be closer than before, as Carr transitions into the “dark, realpolitik world of espionage and subterfuge.” most of the article is based on logic, it seems that Carr added a little emotion to reach the reader so that they fully understand his point of view Eric Schmidt and Jared Cohen's new digital age creates multiple theories of technological world that Carr summarizes to develop his opinion. The authors support their work with statistics and research to convince the reader that this will happen. Although the source may have questionable credibility, this technology has not yet been developed and can only speculate on what the future will bring. Carr's article is more logical than personal, but he adds a touch of emotion to his article, which draws the reader into his argument...
