"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.
需要认真做个笔记
评分写论文的还是赶紧把社交网站注销了吧!
评分本书主要阐述互联网、计算机如何改变人们的大脑。一句话总结:我们认为自己是工具的主宰,而工具其实才是我们的主人。
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
评分前半本都在讲发展史,完全可以略过不看
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 ...
评分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...
评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...
评分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...
