Shallows: How the Internet Is Changing the Way We Think, Read and Remember Paperback – 3 September 2020

Nicholas Carr does a very good job of explaining how significant technologies throughout our history have changed our perspective of the world, about ourselves and our collective culture. In addition to this, these technologies bring physical changes in us and change the way we experience things. He then delves into the latest such technology - the Internet, which arguably has had and continues to have the greatest impact on us among all technologies. While we embrace this change merrily, we never stop to think and reflect on the potential side effects or harm that the Internet might bring on to us. The author does a very good job of explaining this very thing and this book forces you to consider whether just embracing the internet or any new thing for the sake of convenience or efficiency is truly a good thing in the long run or whether this had devastating effects which might negate our humaneness and all the good and the bad that comes with it.As someone who was lucky enough to have a childhood before the internet and smartphones took over, this book made me conscious of how much our thinking and mental abilities have changed with the Internet. A must read for pretty much everyone.

A well researched book, deals a lot on brain functioning, simple language, discusses a lot on how brain adapt8to things and how it is being influenced by the internet a good read

This is the first book I read on such an offbeat subject. But I doubt if I could have picked up a better one.

It would be a regret if i didn't read this book. Basically, I got the reference of this book by reading "Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport", which is also one of the best book."The shallows", the best way to tell the story of different media evolution. And nicely narrated. You will not regret finishing this book. I finished it in 2 week with my workdays. That much attractive.

The books is very intriguing in parts and sometimes dull, but yeah you can read it once for sure and go ahead if you want to.

Might get a little gloomy in the middle. Vocabulary of the author is good.

EXCELLENT. Definitely worth investing your time and money. The amount of knowledge the author has put in shows the research that has gone into it and the tone of the book is quiet good.

A well written book . A must read for those who looking for influence of gadgets on our thought process. Worth of money
