He points out that the Internet encourages a kind of “skimming” behaviour, in which we quickly browse through web pages, looking for information but not taking the time to fully absorb it. Carr suggests that the internet, with its constant stream of information and distractions, is rewiring our brains to be more easily distracted, reducing our ability to concentrate intensely, and making it harder for us to retain information. Nicholas Carr’s book “ The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains” argues that the way we use the Internet is changing the way our brains work. Is the internet changing the way we think? Does the good outweigh the bad or does the bad outweigh the good? The Shallows is an in-depth examination of the impact the Internet has on our cognitive abilities The internet is full of information, no doubt, how it is consumed and readily available has contributed significantly to how we consume information.
