Claim: "the kind of deep reading that a sequence of printed pages promotes is valuable not just for the knowledge we acquire from the authors words but for the intelectual vibrations those words set off within our own minds."
reason/Evidence: carr goes on to talk about how deep reading is indistinguishable from deep thinking. we think we can get all the information from the internet when the real deep thinking comes from reading a book and getting all of the details possible for a certain subject.
Claim: there is a tendency to glorify technological progress, there's a countertendency to expect the worst of every new tool or machine.
Reasons/Evidence: people doubted the printing press sayin that it was going to make men lazy and undermine religious authority. also they said it would demean the work of scholars and scribes and spread sedition and debauchery. people are always complaining about some sort of new technology when it is evident that the new technology has taken over, there is always going to be some sort of critic to any kind of new technology.
