I've been seeing the name of Nicholas Carr's book "The Shallows" pop up several times now in recent weeks. The content seems to be interesting and one that follows the footsteps of Marshall McLuhan and Neil Postman. While Postman only limited the thrust of his argument to the impact of radio and television on public debate on politics, Carr seems to discuss how distractions of modern technology is taking away our ability for contemplation and concentration. I'll definitely be adding it to my reading stack.
