Carr And Raja Analysis
Both essays are written in current time period of our life, both sharing the subject matter of computer technology and its effects in our life, although Carr’s essay is more focus on the skepticism of the computer technology while Raja is more interested how it would be useful to us and how we can get more people involve for the future that will come and perhaps our society is not involve enough in developing new technologies rather than being user of technologies, which in some strange way of thinking being only user of computer technology is the same point that Carr mention. Perhaps our distraction by our computer technologies is one of the reason we lost our focus, may be Carr’s sense is right, our brain neural circuitry is changing, and

We cannot deny the comfort and positive affect of computer technologies and google or internet for that matter, we should not ignore the other view point nor the unfavorable effect on our life and our brain. I guess both writers understand our life already formed by technologies and everything evolve during time, whether we believe evolution is fact or theory, it is incontrovertible that human life evolved during history and by evolving so does our technology, now what is left is how we deal with the situation. Perhaps this is what Raja called computational thinking, because with the best programmers and lack of idea, there will not be a program to write and it bring us back to the point Carr makes, lack of focus, not thinking nor learning. We are at young stage of computer age, not only we need to learn how to use the new technologies correctly and how to improve our computational way of thinking, we need to help this adolescent technology grow and become a mature adult to affect our life in better way. Computer technology is now available to everyone, but do not exist independently of human, how we design, improve and use the technology is up to us, the same technology that help us to manage tons of information, undermine our ability to read in depth and focus, or make our children be more interested in playing game on their computer than learn
