Is Google making us stupid post

This essay was very interesting to read for me because it is very relatable to my own personal inquiry question. Carr does a wonderful job in the structure of this essay by introducing the question with a grasping scene from a well-known movie then transitioning into the meat of the question while still touching back on that original scene. By alluding to the scene, he gets the audience’s mind moving in the direction of the question. This is key to writing a strong inquiry essay because as an author, you could never know what is on the reader’s mind before delving into your essay. By starting with an interesting anecdote, you as the author accomplishes the task of gaining the reader’s attention in the direction of the question you’re trying to answer. I was slightly disappointed in the title of the essay however. I feel that by asking such a specific question, you really need to primarily address that main question with some other anecdotes thrown in. I do understand why the title is what it is however I would’ve liked to have seen some more discussion about google itself rather than the history of how people used to read literature. Another way that I think would have made this title more meaningful would be to start off the essay with an interesting hook that talks of about google.
