In chapter three of “The Shallows”, “Tools of the Mind” by Nicholas Carr, the author makes the point about how technology affects the human minds throughout all of history. He presents his topic by using the invention of the map and clockwork; Carr expresses with much detail how is it that these inventions effected the human mind, these inventions weren’t only a set of simple tools that humans used but many also believe that these tools are proof that technology eventually uses us in order to progress it-self, however this is an argument in it self that many side with different opinions. Carr quotes Ralph Waldo when he says that “human beings are nothing more than the ‘sex organs of the machine world'” and that humans are just there to push forward technology to the point where technology can create and/or support it-self.
