"Is Google making us stupid?" When Nicholas Carr posed that question, in a celebrated Atlantic Monthly cover story, he tapped into a well of anxiety about how the Internet is changing us. He also crystallized one of the most important debates of our time: As we enjoy the Net's bounties, are we sacrificing our ability to read and think deeply? Now, Carr expands his argument into the most compelling exploration of the Internet's intellectual and cultural consequences yet published. As he describes how human thought has been shaped through the centuries by "tools of the mind"--from the alphabet to maps, to the printing press, the clock, and the computer--Carr interweaves a fascinating account of recent discoveries in neuroscience by such pioneers as Michael Merzenich and Eric Kandel. Our brains, the historical and scientific evidence reveals, change in response to our experiences. The technologies we use to find, store, and share information can literally reroute our neural pathways. Building on the insights of thinkers from Plato to McLuhan, Carr makes a convincing case that every information technology carries an intellectual ethic--a set of assumptions about the nature of knowledge and intelligence. He explains how the printed book served to focus our attention, promoting deep and creative thought. In stark contrast, the Internet encourages the rapid, distracted sampling of small bits of information from many sources. Its ethic is that of the industrialist, an ethic of speed and efficiency, of optimized production and consumption--and now the Net is remaking us in its own image. We are becoming ever more adept at scanning and skimming, but what we are losing is our capacity for concentration, contemplation, and reflection. Part intellectual history, part popular science, and part cultural criticism, The Shallows sparkles with memorable vignettes--Friedrich Nietzsche wrestling with a typewriter, Sigmund Freud dissecting the brains of sea creatures, Nathaniel Hawthorne contemplating the thunderous approach of a steam locomotive--even as it plumbs profound questions about the state of our modern psyche. This is a book that will forever alter the way we think about media and our minds.

不知道各位有没有这种感觉: 浏览网页的时候,常常被文章中间或者侧边栏的链接吸引了去,浮光掠影地从一个链接跳到另一个链接,很少返回最初的页面;有时,也会Mark存档一些看上去很有价值的长文,结果却很少回去读它们。 在电脑前阅读很难有以前读纸质书的全神贯注。我们更...

我们看到过以下的画面吧:手中在处理着工作的表格,电脑右下角的QQ在不停的闪,微博里同时有人@你了,在人人网发表的图片又有人评论了,刚好邮件提醒告诉你有新邮件来了,傍边的手机还在不停的震:因为微信群里面又有新消息了。各种信息载体同一时间,从四面八方向我们扑过来。...

我们的大脑具有高度的可塑性,书中提到的心理学和生理学实验已经足够证明了,互联网改变我们大脑的结构,进而影响我们的思维方式、阅读方式注意力等等,我们不得不面对。就在我读这本书的过程中,我发现我已经不太容易集中注意力将某一章连续读完,即使读完也没有太深刻的印象...

這本書是我這學期的rhetoric課上的用書. 不得不說, 各種中槍. 有了網絡根本沒有耐心靜下來看書, 寧願刷豆瓣看無聊沒意義的直播文也不願意看正真有用的經典著作... 前天讀了第五章, 印象最深刻的是那些統計數字, 說是最近人們面對screen(電腦, 電視, 還有smartphone)評價時間是...

改用kindle刷英文渣书后,虽然还是在读渣书,但是我的良心好受多了

写成了page-turner的科普/文化研究类读物,令人赞叹。信息时代里网络/Google对深度思维和注意力的侵蚀,书中最重要而好看的其实并非这个一句即可概括的论点,而是作者抵达此论点的过程。除了互联网发展史及书籍史、阅读史、传媒理论等,书中例证了大量有趣的认知神经/心理学实验。作者旁征博引,几乎每段话都有引用,却绝无无的放矢的内容。虽然美国人的Google在“毒害”着我们的大脑,但这种有力的批判和反思也来自其社会内部,这应是成熟的社会的一个表征。
