Chapter 7: The Juggler's Brain

The more you use the Internet, the better the search for information, but the creativity when considering it becomes increasingly shallow.

In Chapter 7, Carr explains how the use of technology keeps us focused and how we make it difficult to concentrate on what we actually do.

Carl thinks that the Internet has changed our brains, is thoughtful, continues to concentrate, and deprives the ability to understand the meaning we are doing.

Although he thinks that these digital tools are useful in many ways, he does not necessarily help us become smarter.

In this article, the author explains how technology is beginning to endanger family time. In addition to being aware of the technology by children, parents and adults are also victims of this problem.

The authors believe that the more we advance in technology, the more problems are. We do not spend time with our loved ones, they tend to pay more attention to the cell phone and iPad on the table.

So far I do not know if I can understand the impact of the Internet on our brains. Well, good news, it is finally out! This is my favorite chapter. The previous chapter is very interesting and provides a lot of data and information to think and handle, but Juggler's brain is what I was waiting for. This chapter summarizes the impact of the Internet on our brains.

Nicholas Carr, in his article "The Juggler's Brain", tends to make physical movements such as keyboard input, mouse drag and drop, finger, iPad, iPod, iPhone, Blackberry when I go online It was pointed out. wait. On the Internet, I am crazy about three of the five senses; we use the sight to look at color pictures and text, listen to sounds and other signals, touch the keyboard and mouse. Through browsing the web, readers can introduce many activities that will have a positive impact on their brain and help them deepen their consciousness, but book readers are distracted by reading on-line It suggests that the possibility is high. Spreading this distraction can interfere with deeper reading than online readers. He insists that the Internet can influence the reader's thinking by interfering with deep thinking.

Scientists thought that the child's brain developed and stopped at puberty, but now I found that this is not true. Even adults' brains can grow and become smarter. I experimented with an adult who is not a juggler. Half of the group was taught through learning juggling strategies, they taught to learn from failure and learned, and they taught many practice methods. The other half of the team left practice on its own after showing the way of juggling. What do you think? Yes, half of the teams who received strategic guidance encourage me to learn from my mistakes, practice with teachers and spend a lot of time doing juggling well with each other. The other half did not learn to play, and many people ceased trying. Next, scientists compared the brains of the two groups using a brain scanner. When they acquire these new capabilities their brains have actually changed.
