Nicholas carr argues that satellite navigation systems "are not designed to deepen our involvement with our surroundings" what does he mean by that? summarize his argument. is it persuasive? why or why not?

Answer

Hi,

He means that satellite navigation systems will surely get your location but you will never know where you are.

The explanation here is that people lose the sense of connecting with nature when technology takes over. People nowadays do not see the need of wanting to know because they will just look it up in Google! Thus with the current rate of technological advancement, people are losing the mastery and knowledge about the surroundings which develops with time and deep engagements with things.

This argument is persuasive because the meaning of life originates from mastery of knowing things that surrounds us from experience and interaction but if technology does it for us, then what do have to be proud of?

Hope this Helps!

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
