Agenda: Nicholas Carr bij John Adams Institute

Nicholas Carr’s 2008 essay 'Is Google Making Us Stupid?' opened a new chapter in our relationship to digital technology. In his new book, The Shallows, How the Internet is Changing the Way We Think, Read and Remember, Carr -who was previously editor of the Harvard Business Review - explores how the internet is changing our very brains. As The Wall Street Journal put it, 'We all joke about how the Internet is turning us, and especially our kids, into fast-twitch airheads incapable of profound cogitation. It's no joke, Mr. Carr insists, and he has me persuaded.' Join us for an evening with one of the world’s leading writers on the implications of technology.
