Nicholas Carr‘s book, The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2011, and his insights about the internet’s extraordinary benefits — and dangers — are more relevant than ever. We discuss the history of technologies that led to the internet, and how we can use them without being taken over by them.
