The shallows beginning.
I have started to read the shallows and started to immediately feel much more open to this book rather than feeling very offended like I did during the dumbest generation. This is an intriguing book because he's not exactly calling us dumb. He's just saying we think much more differently than humans used to. We had a discussion in class about how the brains plasticity has changed throughout the growth of technology. and how this system has caused us to think productivity is the same as efficiency. Things like the clock, the map, etc; have changed how we think and do the things that people did a long time ago. The same with google. We can find something that would've taken maybe days to find in an instant on google. Our lives have changed which has caused our brain plasticity to change drastically from someone's who's 20 years older than us. I do very much enjoy this book.
