First sentence of a summary - In the 2010 Composure article “The Internet Is Bad,” Nicholas Carr argues that the internet is shaping the way we think and is making us less of critical thinkers., Thesis statement - Carr asserts that the internet is warping the human brain; therefore, I agree that the internet is having a negative impact on information retention and recall and that the internet influences the lack of critical thinking skills., Topic sentence - First, I agree that too much time on the internet is making information too available and is influencing our short term memories in a negative way., Major Detail: Explain topic sentence - People are relying too much on Google and other quick searches rather than focusing on retaining information., Minor Detail: Explain with evidence from the text (paraphrase or quote) - Carr asserts that people who read information from the internet do not understand more than those who read from just one source. He claims that the internet affects the brain and leads to abstraction and information that lacks cohesiveness and coherence., Minor Detail: Explain paraphrase or quote - In other words, people aren’t fully comprehending what they are reading., Minor Detail: Relate the quote to your major detail - Thus, the lack of comprehension skills and short term memory functions are declining because of the internet., Major Detail: Use a transition word and state why you agree or disagree with the article - Therefore, I agree with Carr’s assertion because I have found that I am relying on apps and webpages for the same information over and over again., Minor Detail: Use personal evidence to explain your opinion - For example, I love to cook and oftentimes find myself asking my Alexa to tell me the internal temperature for a medium rare steak or to tell me the cook time for a salmon dish that I cook regularly., Minor Detail: Use personal evidence to explain opinion - That is in stark contrast to cook times, temperatures, and recipes that I learned while learning to cook with my mother when I was a child. I believe that the quickness of the internet has caused my short term memory not to process these pieces of information that I use regularly; it’s just too easy to ask instead of read and research., Concluding sentence: - Therefore, even in minor situations in every day life, the internet affects the memory, and sadly, it could negatively affect many if it is consistently relied upon. If the technology fails at the time of need, it could lead to major problems.,
