"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.

你将要读到的文章,跟几乎卫报所有的内容一样——你可能已经猜出来了——是一台联网的电脑打出来的。显然,电脑和网络使我的调查相对轻松,与文章提到的人物沟通更简单,除此之外没有其他好处了。现在人们对现代通信技术的使用是如此熟稔,以至于完全没有新鲜感。但让我记忆犹...

麦克卢汉曾提出了一个牛逼的思想 “媒介即信息:媒介不仅仅是传播内容的工具,而是超越了自身以及载体。”他断言创造现代世界观的活字印刷,是印刷术决定了知识。而后产生了包括波兹曼等信徒,波兹曼在《娱乐至死》中,针对美国那些看似严肃实在充满娱乐的电视节目,告诫人们...

要去美国上学了,这是学校给布置的reading material。 我看了英文原版的整本书,也与父母讨论过,更看过很多豆瓣上的书评。我写这篇其实不想对这本书的内容作太多讨论,因为其实这本书本身就是很多大家都能看明白的现状的罗列。 也许我更看重这本书的写作形式。可能是因为担...

惊心动魄的一本书!!(本书颇有点罗嗦,不过也许,这是作者观点的见证,人们已经失去了读长篇大论的能力) 作者一上来就用实验数据来证明了,synapses 是用进废退的。经常锻炼使用的大脑功能会越发加强,不经常使用的慢慢退化消失。 网络,电脑,有着太多的distraction,每秒...

作为一个地地道道地网虫,作为一个一天离开电脑离开互联网就活不下去的生物来说,这本书的确更发人深省。 随着视线逐渐模糊,随着颈椎不时疼痛,随着右肩日渐耸起,大脑也发出一个警告,需要戒网了。第一次看到浅薄这两个字,振聋发聩。作者用无数实验和事例告诉我们,人...

看了四个月…这是有多碎片化…争取周末来写读后感

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。
