Great Read

An eye opener.It introduced me to neuroplasticity where I could further my knowledge from there.The book covers the most significant information that everyone should know in the 21st century.

Livro em inglês, conteúdo extremamente relevante para os tempos atuais.

Esse livro precisa ser impresso em português o quanto antes! É extremamente essencial para os tempos atuais. Eu li a versão de 2011 em português e esse é exatamente o mesmo, mas com um capítulo a mais no final. Apesar de ter sido escrito em 2007-2009, o conteúdo é atual e alarmante. Nicholas nos mostra, com base em vários estudos, como a internet alterou nossa forma de pensar e agir (assim como outras ferramentas criadas no passado, como o relógio e mapa). Hoje em dia, nosso cérebro tem mais dificuldade em se aprofundar em algo, em se concentrar e em se manter focado por muito tempo. O cérebro acostumou-se com estímulos rápidos e superficiais, graças ao que a internet nos proporciona: acesso a milhões de informações em questão de segundos, de forma muito descomplicada. O último capítulo é mais atualizado e aborda bastante sobre os smartphones e suas implicações na nossa mente. É preocupante, estamos nos tornando mais superficiais e reféns desses aparelhos. Me sinto muito privilegiado em ter absorvido esse conteúdo. Mesmo não tendo inglês fluente, consegui entender grande parte dos textos. Sugiro a leitura a todos, principalmente àqueles que estão preocupados e que notaram que suas mentes estão inquietas e que não conseguem se concentrar por muito tempo.

A wake-up call for the world

A friend of mine recently said that he can't read books anymore; there has to be a hyperlink, picture or video in there somewhere or he just loses interest. Had I known about this book, The Shallows, at the time, I could have given him a brief verbal summary of his difficulty. I would have explained it like this:Every technology that our species has ever invented has caused neurological changes; the wiring of our brains. The development of written language was a momentous shift in our intellect, since thoughts, ideas, beliefs and instructions could be recorded and transmitted among us like never before. Over centuries, the written word demanded a kind of intellectual engagement characterised by deep, reflective thought.The advent of the internet is likewise a momentous shift, but in an unprecedented direction. The internet inundates us with short snippets of information and offers kinds of titilation that our species has never been exposed to. This has a concurrent effect on the brain. It actually changes the wiring in our brains in a way that no longer facilitates deep, reflective thought.But I suspect my friend would lose interest before I finished what I was saying...
