What the internet is doing to our brains (AND how to reclaim the your right to a limitless mind) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Book Review of "The Shallows" by Nicholas Carr
Description
You don't need to read this book because the title says it all - your suspicions are correct, the Internet is NOT very good for our minds. The book charts the course of human cognitive development that parallels (and perhaps follows) the development of media technologies from Sumerian tablets to Facebook.
I hate to dissuade you from reading this because it's a pretty good book but if you're willing to accept that the Internet takes a high toll on your mind, you don't need to. You just need to habituate the working memory exercises I detail here.
