RWS Carr Claims

Overall Argument: Thanks to the ubiquity of text on the Internet, not to mention the popularity of text-messaging on cell phones, we may well be reading more today than we did in the 1970s or 1980s, when television was our medium of choice. But it’s a different kind of reading, and behind it lies a different kind of thinking—perhaps even a new sense of the self.


Carr discusses the overall argument and supports it through expert testimonies, examples, and historical examples.  Carr is able to organize, and frame the issue in a way that the audience can understand. Additionally, his use of repetition throughout the article contributes to the audiences view and understanding of the subject as well.
