The Shallows
Wednesday, August 11, 2010 at 11:51PM Today I took a look through our local book shop. I always feel relaxed when browsing through the shop. So many great books and so little time to read them all. Today I purchased a book called "The Shallows" by Nicholas Carr. It's sub title is "How the internet is changing the way we think, read and remember". I am looking forward to reading it and will report back what I think.

People who read text studded with links, the studies show, comprehend less than those who read words printed on pages. People who watch busy multimedia presentations remember less than those who take in information in a more sedate and focused manner
An interesting article in The Age about this book.
