"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.
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.
需要認真做個筆記
評分2011年是讀這本書開始的。如今有必要復習一下瞭
評分改用kindle刷英文渣書後,雖然還是在讀渣書,但是我的良心好受多瞭
評分寫成瞭page-turner的科普/文化研究類讀物,令人贊嘆。信息時代裏網絡/Google對深度思維和注意力的侵蝕,書中最重要而好看的其實並非這個一句即可概括的論點,而是作者抵達此論點的過程。除瞭互聯網發展史及書籍史、閱讀史、傳媒理論等,書中例證瞭大量有趣的認知神經/心理學實驗。作者旁徵博引,幾乎每段話都有引用,卻絕無無的放矢的內容。雖然美國人的Google在“毒害”著我們的大腦,但這種有力的批判和反思也來自其社會內部,這應是成熟的社會的一個錶徵。
評分well-researched and quite thought-provoking, provided great introductory information for a variety of fields relating to cognition and information technology
我标准的一天大概是这样的: 6:00左右 被邮件推送惊醒,这个时间除了隔着时差的导师就是广告了。看一眼标题,继续沉睡。 7:30 等待闹铃响,赖床时间解锁手机,校内、豆瓣、微博挨个看一遍。 8:15 翻下床,洗漱,换衣服,带上ipod出门上班或者上课,毫无疑问,音乐均是download ...
評分要去美国上学了,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...

評分惊心动魄的一本书!!(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...
評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...
