In Nicholas Carr's article, "Is Google Making Us Stupid?," is to inform the younger, upcoming generations on how the Internet may have negative effects on the human mind, in that, the way in which we abuse the Internet and not let our brains figure things out without the need of searching it on Google. Nicholas Carr begins by explaining how he feels that the Internet is causing his focus issues, in which he cannot keep focus while reading a book. He then proceeds talking about how the Internet surrounds his life and how that is to blame for his issues towards maintaining engaged in the simplest tasks such as sending a text, because he is a writer. Carr uses personal experiences, and vivid imagery to obtain the viewers attention and persuade them that in today's society, the Internet is causing mainly problems. Carr has his own personal experiences with the negative effects of the Internet, and he also provides research on how other writers had agreed with him on the subject to help support his strategies of logos. The use of the evidence from the other writers helps to draw in the reader and show them the effects of the Internet. He states that one of the articles he got information from had said, "It is clear that users are not reading online in the traditional sense meaning that the way we read now is what we would call skimming. Apparently reading on the Internet doesn't let people read the entire article and it is seen that they go from page to page, losing focus quickly. Carr uses this information because we as readers can relate to it, like he does as well, which is causing people to lose focus when looking at physical readings. Another example of logos that Carr uses is when a writer, Maryanne Wolf, describes how due to text messaging and cell phones we are experiencing a different type of reading today than in the 1960's and 70's; a type of reading that "may be weakening our capacity for the kind of deep reading .
