  • THE SHALLOWS: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains by Nicholas Carr

    In The Shallows, the author of The Big Switch brings us a fascinating look at how technology is changing our brains. We are surrounded with the wonders of technology, and while we delight in it, is it good for us? Can we get too much of a good thing? Are our brains being “taught” to scan and skim rather than delve deeply into a matter? Are we losing the ability to think for ourselves? Is our attention span dangerously short? Are we losing our capacity for “concentration, contemplation, and reflection?” These and many other topics are addressed in this thought-provoking book.
