According
to what he said Nicholas Carr first describes the smartphones as bad, and he
wants to take the smartphones from the audience and throw them away. He likened
the smartphones to sex and he stated it has to do with the brain nerves that
led to dopamine. Dopamine occurs in humans something your effect on our minds,
or something used to it, your body needs Dopamine without your consciousness.
The impact of smartphones is on us, which helps us find new information. First,
it reduces our view of life and secondly social life. He said it had a huge
environment of unlimited information across social networking sites. He said
that it affected us all with compulsive behavior, for example, that we withdraw
our phones from the pocket without any effect, and no notices or before going
to sleep. Then he explained the search rate is ten seconds when the people
search for something and then find several sites with new information. “Social
networking sites want this thing and people continue to do it as companies and
invest money profits as new companies,” he said. And put a point on what if we
used our minds ourselves instead of these sites, and we can easily adapt to it
and according to his opinion said it is very good this way and at the same time
we must consider the negative things. He described how our memory works and how
to get information to our minds regarding what we learned from a conversation
and read it. He said the new information should be linked to something you know
from experience or work. The problem of the mind is when you are looking at
social networking sites there is too much information to memorize. Then the
dependence on our phones or computer or positions of research influenced the
focus of our minds, and they sacrifice the capabilities of our minds. According
to David Brook’s Article “If you’re like most of us, you’re wondering what the
Internet is doing to your attention span. You toggle over to check your phone
during even the smallest pause in real-life. You feel those phantom vibrations
even when no one is texting you. You have trouble concentrating for long
periods.” Almost 95% of David Brook’s Article and Nicholas Carr are of course
similar. This paragraph explains and summarizes the first and third idea of
Nicholas Carr. Nicholas Carr also spoke about the researchers and about email
and Facebook and likened it to an almost infinite crowd of the same analogy for
David Brook’s Article. He also likened social networking sites to constant
anticipation and David Brook’s Article he said was a world of new information.
He also said that neurologist Susan said to people using the Internet had a
short memory and Nicholas Carr gave two examples; Nicholas Carr made a test and
he gave it to two groups; one of them had internet and one of them had books,
and it turned out that the group that was working without the Internet got a higher percentage of the test. And according to what he said, research at the The University of Oslo and a difference between people reading a printed page get
more understanding than those who read on a screen. The second idea for
Nicholas Carr was the positives of David Brook’s Article.
