I will re-envision my using a poster magazine from Time’s magzine’s poster on September 30th 2013 with the title “Can Google solve Death?”. In the article Harry McCracken and Lev Grossman highlight Larry Page’s success as Google’s CEO where he transformed the company and efforts to extend human life through Calico a company focusing on health and ageing. Even Google has “Side Effects” that was based on Nicholas Carr’s "Is Google Making Us Stupid”. In the previous essay, I analyzed Carr’s use of persuasive rhetoric, appeals and language to support his viewpoint that the internet has been detrimental to human beings as it has reduced ability to think critically and write. I have the internet intensively to learn and research, and it is a surprise that Carr glosses over this.

I go beyond my previous paper where I focused on Carr’s effective use of persuasive appeals as the article is an opinion piece. Thus, using research data would have provided insights on the potential long-term effect of the internet. It is likely that the internet does affect cognitive functioning, but different people sue the internet in different ways and there are those who use digital technology on a daily basis and those who use the internet occasionally.
The first step in the rewind paper was to consider both the original article by Carr and the response, and then reimagining the paper by considering the benefits of Google in meeting information needs. I was looking to go beyond Carr’s main point that the search engines and the internet as whole have negatively affected how we process information and made us inattentive. Finding a lot of relevant information via the internet is not what makes people intelligent, as there is a need for deep thinking, attention and concentration to reflect on the information than one access. However like any new form of technolo...
