This Life of Leisure: Back to Paper, Back to Work
C.J. Chilvers shares why he’s shedding some of his digital habits now that he’s learned of “a scary summary of the decades of studies that have revealed how hypertext measurably alters pathways in the brain.”
Within his post is a mini-summary of The Shallows, and though I hadn’t heard of it before, I wasn’t at all surprised to learn it was written by Nicolas Carr, author of The Big Switch.
Chilvers’ post alone makes a lot of sense to me, but having read Carr’s books before, I’m very interested in reading this one too.
