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?
