Technical activity automatically eliminates every nontechnical activity or transforms it into technical activity. This does not mean, however, that there is any conscious effort or directive will. Jacques Ellul

In the post below Carr sums up some of his thoughts on the internet and our brains. He goes into detail on how we lose the process to contemplate, think deep, and concentrate on one thing at a time. He does however agree that the internet is good in a way, in that it allows us to contact family and friends as well as access information faster. He thinks we become distracted, and that there has been a shift on the emphasis of human thought. We just do not think the same way as we use to because we have access to the internet. You can listen to this 8 minute video and decide what you think.
