The Shallows

The Shallows
What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains
by Nicholas Carr
W. W. Norton & Co, 2010

Carr acknowledges that several of the bloggers he follows, while aware of the changes the Internet has made in their reading and thinking habits, are not overly concerned about this and actually see more benefits than losses in the exchange. Bruce Friedman, a pathologist at the University of Michigan Medical School tells him that he's "never been more creative" and attributes this to "my blog and the ability to review/scan 'tons' of information on the web."
