How should we interpret this? Do you agree or disagree? One of Carr’s major claims is that the Internet, for many, is largely synonymous with Google—which has become the face of the Web in some ways. He claims that “no matter how long the company is able to maintain its dominance over the flow of digital information, its intellectual ethic will remain the general ethic of the Internet as a medium” (157). What are the implications (or consequences of Google’s domination), and what do we do about them? In light of recent events, what would Carr have to say about Facebook? Use the film and your own experiences to inform your responses. --an Introduction that explains what “They, Say” (utilize the templates provided in out textbook) --A thesis (what “You Say”) --at least 3 body paragraphs that each contain a specific supporting point and evidence to back up those claims --Clear topic sentences --Clear transitions within and between paragraphs --examples and at least ​3 correctly integrated direct quotes​ from ​The Shallows​. You can also use any information from the documentaries we’ve watched, your own experience, or anything you’ve seen or read outside of class. --A conclusion that doesn’t just merely restate your thesis. Why should we care about conversations surrounding the internet?
