In this final paper, I plan on discussing Thompson’s paper
for the majority of the time and lightly going over Carr’s paper. Thompsons
main claim states that writing has changed our cognitive thinking in the way of
both clarifying it and in responding to audiences as well. In order to build on
this statement, I will be utilizing a sub claim that technological advances
have aided in society’s building to an extent that can be seen as both good and
bad according to my own experience with technologies rapid growth. This can be
the area of my paper where I will reference Carr and his text regarding, “Is
Google Making Us Stupid?”

Atlantic. July/August 2008. Web.

Laptop in Class.” Times of San Diego. June 12 2014.
