Is Google Making Us Stupid? Learn what the digital era is doing to our brains.

The internet is a wonderful thing, it has given so much to us and it's probably the greatest invention ever made. But does it have side-effects? The internet is so powerful that because we utilize its features so much (because it makes everything easier), it has taken away from us our ability to read and think deeply. Now we can get answers in a couple of clicks, we don't have to ponder how to resolve the problem.

"We want to be interrupted, because each interruption brings us a valuable piece of information. To turn off these alerts is to risk feeling out of touch, or even socially isolated. " - Nicholas Carr

Borrowing knowledge from different disciplines like neuroscience, philosophy and history, Nicholas Carr gives us a masterclass of this topic and manages to convey his message with a rich narrative. He explains how the Internet is rerouting our neural pathways changing our whole style of thinking into a lazier one.

This book will definitely change entirely your opinion about media and the human mind.
