From the article 'Is Google Making Us Stupid' by Nicholas Carr, I remembered most the story he told about Freidrich Nietzsche and his type writer. I remember thinking that if no one could see, just type or think, our minds would go back to that state of concentration before we had internet to provide us whatever we wanted, whenever we want it. I agree with him, that the internet is definitely affecting us. Maybe not making us 'stupid' persay, but it most certainly is affecting our brains in more ways than one.
From the first chapter in Writing Arguments, I remember that the author said that arguments are not necessarily taking one stance and sticking with it. Arguments can come in many different forms, and should be used more to explore different points of views than to try and prove our own beliefs. I think that this was a well-made point, and it caused me to think differently about how to propose arguments in the future.
