well-researched and quite thought-provoking, provided great introductory information for a variety of fields relating to cognition and information technology
评分前半本都在讲发展史,完全可以略过不看
评分写成了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。
评分改用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
评分读起来像是《娱乐至死》的进一步阐释,能在飞速变化着的环境下停下来,跳出去反思的人都很伟大。但讽刺的是,这样一本由一篇文章衍生出来的书也多少受了它所讨论的网络时代的负面影响。作为一本社科类图书,深度或是可读性都挺一般的。
Nicholas Carr is the author of The Shallows, The Big Switch, and Does IT Matter? He has written for the New York Times, The Atlantic, The Guardian, Wired, and other periodicals. He lives in Colorado with his wife.
"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.
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。...
评分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...
评分去年读了一本叫做《浅薄》的书,副标题很唬人,叫做“互联网如何毒化了我们的大脑”。没错,互联网的确毒化了我们的大脑,在崇尚速度、炫耀数量的互联网面前,我们很快就习惯了蜻蜓点水式的略读,却丧失了另外一些可贵的能力:专注、沉思和反省。 看看我们一头钻入互联网的怀...
评分你将要读到的文章,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...
