The Shallows What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains

It's actually Nicholas Carr's book that began to The Shallows, it began to make me think differently about this.

That's why Nicholas Carr used the term shallows

Remember I was talking about the book The Shallow Shane? The book about the internet and how it's affecting our brain the first half of that is just the history of writing and reading it just goes on for fucking ever they finally explain how the internet affects our ability to learn and retain information, it's fucking nuts.

I was reading so remember I was talking about the book To Shallow, Shane, the book about the internet and how it's affecting our brain.

the first half of that is just like the history of writing and reading it just goes on for fucking ever they finally explain how the internet affects our ability to learn and retain information it's fucking nuts

so when you read a book you just sit there like you're talking about like forming ideas and writing stuff down if you're reading a book

so if you're like your short-term memory is like a like a thimble you can only now you can only have like five chunks of it five to seven chunks of information that's why phone numbers are like six when I like you know you can only they're only like seven digits

they chunk stuff together because if it's more than that your brain will most likely just forget unless you sit and wrote rehearsal it so they're saying how typically if you're reading something or audiobook and same thing really if you're doing that you're taking like your short-term memory is like a thimble and that has to go it has to fill up your long-term memory which is like a bathtub so you only bring a tiny bit of information at a time and try to get it to your long-term memory when you go

I Started I so I have another Audiobook I started dude might be the best thing I've ever ever fucking put my eyes on it's called the shallows

Yeah, it's about I I think it's about it what I thought it was when I downloaded They haven't even talked about it yet how the Internet's changing our brain and how like, you know Computers are changing our brain and they go all the way back

the internet seems to be doing is chipping away my capacity for concentration and contemplation

In 2010 this book coming up by this guy Nicholas Carr called the shallows

I was so mad about that book that I had never read right? I had really strong opinions on it I felt like I was getting smarter on the internet and I was like that's ridiculous, you know

And I think along the way I I actually think it did flip like we went from having The informational boost was was great to the informational boost became too much
