Toulmin Abstract on Carr

Nicholas Carr states in "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" that the use of Google is changing the way people think and concentrate when reading long pieces of writing. We may read more, but in smaller portions than we used to. Adults' minds can adapt to what they take in, and do it frequently. Carr shares that Bruce Friedman remarked that he is unable to " 'read War And Peace anymore. I've lost the ability to do that.' " Carr assumes that everyone who uses Google has experienced the same change in thinking, and that everyone has this technology available to them.

If anyone can add to this or offer any ideas, please do. I had a bit of trouble with this, and I'm not quite sure I got the idea... Thanks!
