Is Google Making Us Stupid? - The Atlantic (July/August 2008) - 0 views

  • It is clear that users are not reading online in the traditional sense; indeed there are signs that new forms of “reading” are emerging as users “power browse” horizontally through titles, contents pages and abstracts going for quick wins. It almost seems that they go online to avoid reading in the traditional sense.

      I have a stack of books I should be reading right now, but I am cruizing the internet instead.
  • Wolf worries that the style of reading promoted by the Net, a style that puts “efficiency” and “immediacy” above all else, may be weakening our capacity for the kind of deep reading that emerged when an earlier technology, the printing press, made long and complex works of prose commonplace. When we read online, she says, we tend to become “mere decoders of information.” Our ability to interpret text, to make the rich mental connections that form when we read deeply and without distraction, remains largely disengaged.
  • As the media theorist Marshall McLuhan pointed out in the 1960s, media are not just passive channels of information. They supply the stuff of thought, but they also shape the process of thought. And what the Net seems to be doing is chipping away my capacity for concentration and contemplation.

      Maybe we are learning a new mental skill and as a choice are letting go of a skill that we no longer find useful?
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • The more they use the Web, the more they have to fight to stay focused on long pieces of writing.
  • He speculates on the answer: “What if I do all my reading on the web not so much because the way I read has changed, i.e. I’m just seeking convenience, but because the way I THINK has changed?”

      I'm not sure that this is necessarily a 'bad thing'?
  • I’ve lost the ability to do that
  • “power browse” horizontally through titles, contents pages and abstracts going for quick wins.
  • “We are how we read.
  • mere decoders of information
  • Reading, explains Wolf, is not an instinctive skill for human beings.
  • our writing equipment takes part in the forming of our thoughts.
  • The last thing these companies want is to encourage leisurely reading or slow, concentrated thought. It’s in their economic interest to drive us to distraction.

      It is scary to beleive that this organic change to our brain is being driven by commercialism!
  • In Plato’s Phaedrus, Socrates bemoaned the development of writing. He feared that, as people came to rely on the written word as a substitute for the knowledge they used to carry inside their heads, they would, in the words of one of the dialogue’s characters, “cease to exercise their memory and become forgetful.” And because they would be able to “receive a quantity of information without proper instruction,” they would “be thought very knowledgeable when they are for the most part quite ignorant.” They would be “filled with the conceit of wisdom instead of real wisdom.”
    • Bruce Vigneault
       
      Ahhh... so with each new step in technology this same 'scare' is felt by the elite ;)
  • The Italian humanist Hieronimo Squarciafico worried that the easy availability of books would lead to intellectual laziness, making men “less studious” and weakening their minds.
  • I come from a tradition of Western culture, in which the ideal (my ideal) was the complex, dense and “cathedral-like” structure of the highly educated and articulate personality—a man or woman who carried inside themselves a personally constructed and unique version of the entire heritage of the West. [But now] I see within us all (myself included) the replacement of complex inner density with a new kind of self—evolving under the pressure of information overload and the technology of the “instantly available.

    SMeech Welcome to my Blitter. A blitter is the combination of blogging and my use of Twitter. I have found that twitter tends to serve my personal needs a little more than full time blogging. Thus, I am combining my blog and Twits into my own blitter. As always... My philosophy stays true... Technology in Education isn't the Future... It is the Present!
