In this ground-breaking and compelling book, Nicholas Carr argues that not since Gutenberg invented printing has humanity been exposed to such a mind-altering technology. The Shallows draws on the latest research to show that the Net is literally re-wiring our brains inducing only superficial understanding. As a consequence there are profound changes in the way we live and communicate, remember and socialise - even in our very conception of ourselves. By moving from the depths of thought to the shallows of distraction, the web, it seems, is actually fostering ignorance. The Shallows is not a manifesto for luddites, nor does it seek to turn back the clock. Rather it is a revelatory reminder of how far the Internet has become enmeshed in our daily existence and is affecting the way we think. This landmark book compels us all to look anew at our dependence on this all-pervasive technology T

The Epic Scramble to Get Inside Our Heads From the author of the award-winning The Master Switch, who coined the term "net neutrality”—a revelatory, ambitious and urgent account of how the capture and re-sale of human attention became the defining industry of our time. "Dazzling." —Financial Times Ours is often called an information economy, but at a moment when access to information is virtually unlimited, our attention has become the ultimate commodity. In nearly every moment of our waking lives, we face a barrage of efforts to harvest our attention. This condition is not simply the byproduct of recent technological innovations but the result of more than a century's growth and expansion in the industries that feed on human attention. Wu’s narrative begins in the nineteenth century, when Benjamin Day discovered he could get rich selling newspapers for a penny. Since then, every new med
Somewhere along the way, we got distracted. As much as we multitask, love our devices and feel like we’re in control, deep down we know that something is off. Shortened attention spans, declines in critical thinking, lack of sleep, self-doubt and decreased creativity are just some of the effects coming to light in an age of digital distraction. It’s time to reclaim our lives. It’s time to take control. Lifescale is a journey of self-discovery and growth. It’s about getting back into balance and remastering our destinies. Author Brian Solis knows first-hand. He struggled with distraction and all of its ill-effects. To get his life back, he developed a set of techniques, exercises, and thought experiments designed to tame the chaos, and positively and productively navigate our day-to-day lives. Instead of falling victim to the never-ending cycle of newsfeeds, Likes, addictive apps, and bor

Hvad ville der ske, hvis du holdt op med at prøve at nå det hele, så det endelig kunne lykkes dig at nå de ting, der virkelig betyder noget? Det moderne menneske er som besat af vores uendelige to do-lister og overfyldte indbakker, og vi kæmper en evindelig kamp mod distraktionerne og vores svindende koncentrations- evne. Alligevel formår vi sjældent at se sammenhængen mellem de daglige kampe mod tiden og det ultimative time management-problem: spørgsmålet om, hvordan vi bedst muligt skal spendere vores absurd korte tid på planeten – en tid, som i gennemsnit beløber sig til omkring fire tusind uger. Fire tusind uger er en opløft ende, fængslende og dybt realistisk udforskning af netop denne problemstilling. Den afviser vores nyttesløse besættelse af at nå det hele og introducerer os i stedet til red- skaber, der kan bruges til at konstruere et meningsfuldt liv ved at omfavne snarere end
