The brain's ability to adapt and handle loss of consciousness is proof enough that the Internet is changing people. However, Oliver fires the author of “The Minds Eye”: he shows us that not all blind people or human beings in general suffer in the same way. Sacks explains in his article that the human brain does not stop learning and evolving beyond a certain age. In reality it is the exact opposite: the human brain adapts over time to any circumstance that may test it. It is thanks to this discovery that it is surprising that blind people are able to adapt to their disability. The same way Nicholas Carr, author of “Google is Making Us Stupid”; highlights how the Internet and technology in general are changing the way humans interact with everyday life. It is because of the Internet that Carr says that “now my concentration often begins to waver after two or three pages. I get nervous, lose the thread and start looking for something else to do. I feel like I'm always dragging my wayward brain to the text. The deep reading that came naturally became a struggle” (67). The influence technology has on Carr's mind may scare him, however with the knowledge Sacks has discovered it is possible to link the loss of deep reading ability to blindness. So if the brain can adapt to the loss of vision, the same could be said of the loss of deep reading. Blind people have been shown to adapt to their new lack of sight; however, what relationship do measures of blind adaptation have to Carr's argument about the ease of technology? Carr may fear deep reading and technological changes, but Sacks demonstrates that we may lose nothing if we simply conform to a new approach. Technology changes you, but... middle of paper... there is no answer that disproves this idea. So he should open his eyes to the reality that nothing is ever truly lost.. sacks writes "to liberate one's creative abilities and one's emotional self, and both have achieved a right and full realization of their individual worlds" (317) . Therefore every single blind human being is satisfied with the way they experience life. It may be a bitter truth for Carr that close reading will survive just not in the quantity he wants. Unfortunately, removing technology is not a simple solution. We need people to suffer certain losses in order for the human race to progress and prosper. The ability of the blind to adapt and live with a sense of comfort and peace thanks to this pseudo sight. It's proof that even when you lose something significant, you might get something in return that you never thought you'd get.
