Current read
I am still reading "The Shallows", its been a bit over my head and has made me slow down and read it carefully. Its talking of how the internet is changing our way of thinking. Carr has been pointing out how writing changed how we told stories, books changed how we though. But now reading is changing again because we read all day long, now oftentimes unconsciously. He quotes David levy, in stating we read street signs, menus, billboards, and products in stores. But we are reading shallowly, because we never really dive into anything. We skim the surface and never dive deep into what we are reading. I haven't reached the point where he is commenting on the internet changing our thought process yet, he has been laying back knowledge for all the different changes that have taken place in "Technology" and how it affected us.
