Superficiales. ¿Qué está haciendo Internet con nuestras mentes?, by Nicholas Carr (2011)

J. Pere Molina Alventosa

Abstract


The Internet gives us access to a wealth of information as we have never seen before. In this book, Nicholas Carr offers a reflection on the intellectual cost involved in the transfer of certain cognitive processes to that technology. He warns that the use of the Internet and its applications in information search and gathering may be having a negative impact on our processes of deep and creative thought.
