Notes for this articleNicholas Carr usa este provocativo título para hacer una reflexión sobre la pérdida del hábito de concentración en la lectura y los posibles efectos en nuestra forma de pensar. También hace un paralelismo entre el Taylorismo industrial y el "taylorismo" mental que supone la forma en que Google sistematiza nuestra búsqueda de conocimiento "Ambiguity is not an opening but a bug to be fixed" http://redesenlaweb.blogspot.com/2008/06/is-google-making-us-stupids.html

AbstractI can feel it, too. Over the past few years I’ve had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been tinkering with my brain, remapping the neural circuitry, reprogramming the memory. My mind isn’t going—so far as I can tell—but it’s changing. I’m not thinking the way I used to think. 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.
