Nicholas Carr’s article titled The Web Shatters Focus, Rewires Brains is easy to read and understand. He used common words in explaining how the Net affects our brains.
The topic sounds scientific, but his explanations are not. He used metaphors instead of jargons and compared the brain process of information transfer to a bathtub being filled with water using a thimble. This gives the readers a clear picture of the process.
Carr enumerated different ways the use of Net makes people easily distracted and less critical by citing situations which are supported by researches and studies of experts. This helps convince readers of the bad effects associated with the use of it.
He also presented the advantages and benefits of using the Net. This is good because it shows balance of the two perspectives, strengthening his argument.
The cause-and-effect pattern of the article engages the readers step by step and therefore grabs their attention fully.
