We've all enjoyed the many benefits of the Internet and other digital media, but how might our growing dependence on the technology be affecting our minds?
In an eye-opening, thought-provoking presentation, Nicholas Carr will draw on the latest studies to describe how the Net is dramatically changing the way we think and even rewiring the circuitry in our brains.
We are becoming more adept at skimming, scanning, and multitasking, but what we are sacrificing is our capacity for more attentive ways of thinking, contemplating, and reflecting.
The effects are being felt not only in the depth of our individual intellectual lives, but also in terms of the richness of our social interactions and culture.
What price are we really paying as we find ourselves increasingly glued to our alternate digital realities and how can we better use the newfound hyperconnectivity so that we do not become caught in the dark side of the Net?
