The Shallows by Nicholas Carr

"The Shallows" by Nicholas Carr explores how the internet and digital technologies are affecting our brains. He argues that frequent online browsing and multitasking can weaken our ability to concentrate, think deeply, and retain information. Carr discusses scientific studies and historical examples to show how we adapt physically and mentally to new media. The book raises concerns about losing the capacity for deep thought and reflection, suggesting that our digital habits may be rewiring our brains in ways that impact learning, contemplation, and meaningful connections.
