"We use to have an intellectual ideal that we could contain within ourselves the whole of civilization. It was very much an ideal-none of us actually fullfilled it-but there was this sense that, through wide reading and study you could have a depth of knowledge and could make unique intellectual connections among the pieces of information stored within your memory."
Carr supports his claim by saying, "the connections are made outside of our mind through search engines and hyperlinks."
What Carr is saying is that we use the internet as a quicker source to information, before our mind. The connections made between pieces of information is made for us by the internet instead of using our own intellect.
