“Is Google Making Us Stupid?”
MAX=> 100 words.
RESPONSE: Take a metaphor used by Carr (jet-skier, brain as computer, shallows, depths, cathedral, etc.) and come up with a similar metaphor and a scenario which makes a point about how you (or other people) are effected by the Internet.
Make sure not to use the exact same metaphor Carr uses. For instance, where Carr uses a cathedral, you might use a Greek temple, a gurdwara, a mosque, a synagogue, Yankee Stadium, the British Museum, or the downtown Vancouver library.
You can use your own experience, create a fictional scenario, or give an explanation. Remember that the response must be in one paragraph and cannot exceed 100 words.
FORMAT: Identify Carr’s metaphor, then put an arrow, then put your metaphor, then write a paragraph using that metaphor to make a point about using the Net. Put the metaphors in bold.
