The Shallows (book)

*The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains* by Nicholas Carr explores how digital technology, especially the internet, influences our thinking and attention. The book argues that frequent internet use rewires our brains, encouraging superficial reading and multitasking at the expense of deep concentration and reflection. Carr draws on scientific research to show that this shift can diminish our capacity for critical thinking, memory, and understanding. Ultimately, he warns that while the internet offers vast information, it may also be eroding our ability to engage deeply with complex ideas, affecting how we think and learn.
