We skim like flat pebbles over the water's surface, eventually, inevitably sinking into Davy Jone’s locker. The end. I am also concerned about alienation and losing humaness, I think it ultimately could alter the depth of our emotions as well as our thoughts. kids just flitter through information without thinking to deeply about much. 2. PilotDan wrote: It is my belief that information is on the Internet but KNOWLEDGE is in books. We scan the Internet but when we read we take deliberate time and absorb what is written on paper. 3. Roy - Washington DC wrote: The internet is a tool, just like anything else. If you're the kind of person who doesn't have the patience to sit down and read a book, you're not going to have the patience to read anything in-depth on the internet either. 4. Abner wrote: I could say the Internet promotes surface reading, i.e tacit acceptance of information which leads to superficial retention for exams. Im speaking from a college or university context. In many campuses around the world, students simply copy and paste material on the net that they deem relevant to a given task or assignment resulting in plagiarism. Some students think that the Internet is full of knowledge and I keep telling them that the Internet is only awash with information. 5. Sir Digby Chicken Caesar wrote: I think it's a generational thing. The Gen Y types have this " saying" called " tl; dr" which stands for " too long; didn't read". I also have noticed changes in the way I think. I have a hard time reading long articles, or books because my mind wants to wander. 6. Gary Paudler wrote: I think that Mr. Carr is correct. It's been noted that information isn't the same as knowledge, so any medium that allows us to dip into shallow, and unqualified, information has the potential to work against the development of more thorough knowledge. BUT! I recently returned from a week of backpacking, in the wilderness without electricity, my laptop would have been dead weight, so I took a book; China Mieville's " Kraken" which I thoroughly enjoyed and might not have read without the respite from the internet but about which I might never have known but for the New York Times book review that I read - on the internet. 7. gary indiana wrote: Once I was skeptical of all I read, heard, and saw and then the internet happened and…no wait, I’m still skeptical of everything I read, see and hear. Hey folks, the net has inherent trade-offs just as does any other communications medium. It can cut quickly, but in a broad and shallow way. Deep and precise research still requires multiple, usually none internet, resources and a good bit of effort applied with common sense. 8. Tara Ballance - Montreal Canada wrote: The Internet has enhanced my life. I always read books, but now thanks to Project Gutenberg, I can find and read many more of them. I always kept in touch with my family, but now thanks to Facebook, email, and Skype, I can stay much closer to them. I always enjoyed learning, but now thanks to Wikipedia, innumerable online dictionaries, and university online courses, I can access more information about more topics than ever before. I've always stayed abreast of politics and the news, but now thanks to the range and breadth of media outlets on the world wide web, I can follow events from more than one point of view. I've always been good at critical thinking, but now thanks to the glut of data that's out there, I'm exercising it far more than I used to.
