Lecture by Nicholas Carr
Author of The Shallows -What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains
» Het ondiepe: hoe onze hersenen omgaan met internet,
(Maven Publishing - Amsterdam 2011)
Is internet changing us on the inside? If so, what is it doing to how
we learn, think, read and concentrate? Long after the introduction of
technologies that open up worlds of possibilities, we reflect on how
they fundamentally alter the human experience and inherently influence
new ways of thinking. Internet in the digital age is heralded as an
epoch tool for the brain. Nicholas Carr, author of The Shallows â What
The Internet is Doing to Our Brains, poses the thorny question, âIs
Google Making us Stupid?â.
The New York Times, Guardian, Financial Times, Die Zeit, de Volkskrant
and NRC have featured his provocative reflections in the search for an
answer. Carrâs book, The Shallows -What the Internet is Doing to Our
Brains has just been translated into Dutch; » Het ondiepe: hoe onze
hersenen omgaan met internet, ( Maven Publishing - Amsterdam 2011)Â
