ci5475_5330 CI_5475

I can feel it most strongly when I’m reading. Immersing myself in a book or a lengthy article used to be easy. My mind would get caught up in the narrative or the turns of the argument, and I’d spend hours strolling through long stretches of prose. That’s rarely the case anymore. Now my concentration often starts to drift after two or three pages. I get fidgety, lose the thread, begin looking for something else to do. I feel as if I’m always dragging my wayward brain back to the text. The deep reading that used to come naturally has become a struggle.
But that boon comes at a price

- And what the Net seems to be doing is chipping away my capacity for concentration and contemplation.
- His thinking, he said, has taken on a “staccato” quality
- suggests that we may well be in the midst of a sea change in the way we read and think.
- They typically read no more than one or two pages of an article or book before they would “bounce” out to another site.
- But it’s a different kind of reading, and behind it lies a different kind of thinking
- We are how we read.” Wolf worries that the style of reading promoted by the Net, a style that puts “efficiency” and “immediacy” above all else, may be weakening our capacity for the kind of deep reading that emerged when an earlier technology, the printing press, made long and complex works of prose commonplace
- When we read online, she says, we tend to become “mere decoders of information.” Our ability to interpret text, to make the rich mental connections that form when we read deeply and without distraction, remains largely disengaged.
- We can expect as well that the circuits woven by our use of the Net will be different from those woven by our reading of books and other printed works.
- One of Nietzsche’s friends, a composer, noticed a change in the style of his writing
- says that even the adult mind “is very plastic
- But it also took something away.
- we stopped listening to our senses and started obeying the clock.
- The result is to scatter our attention and diffuse our concentration.
- Old media have little choice but to play by the new-media rules.
- the gradual substitution of science for rule of thumb throughout the mechanic arts.
- Taylor’s ethic is beginning to govern the realm of the mind as well.
- The Internet is a machine designed for the efficient and automated collection, transmission, and manipulation of information, and its legions of programmers are intent on finding the “one best method”—the perfect algorithm—to carry out every mental movement of what we’ve come to describe as “knowledge work.”
- In Google’s view, information is a kind of commodity, a utilitarian resource that can be mined and processed with industrial efficiency. The more pieces of information we can “access” and the faster we can extract their gist, the more productive we become as thinkers.
- Still, their easy assumption that we’d all “be better off” if our brains were supplemented, or even replaced, by an artificial intelligence is unsettling.
- Ambiguity is not an opening for insight but a bug to be fixed.
- should
- The last thing these companies want is to encourage leisurely reading or slow, concentrated thought. It’s in their economic interest to drive us to distraction.
- But, again, the doomsayers were unable to imagine the myriad blessings that the printed word would deliver.
- The kind of deep reading that a sequence of printed pages promotes is valuable not just for the knowledge we acquire from the author’s words but for the intellectual vibrations those words set off within our own minds
- In the quiet spaces opened up by the sustained, undistracted reading of a book, or by any other act of contemplation, for that matter, we make our own associations, draw our own inferences and analogies, foster our own ideas. Deep reading, as Maryanne Wolf argues, is indistinguishable from deep thinking.
