3 quotes from The Shallows

  • 'The Internet is an interruption system. It seizes our attention only to scramble it.'
  • 'What the Net seems to be doing is chipping away my capacity for concentration and contemplation.'
  • 'The medium is the metaphor: the Internet is not just changing what we do; it's changing who we are.'
