THOUGHTS ON THE INTERNET The Shallows -- Nicholas Carr "With the exception of alphabets and number systems, the Net may well be the single most powerful mind-altering technology that has ever come into general use" why are search engines so bad now? i've gone back to going directly wikipedia, reddit, w3schools etc. because googling isn't finding what i want. do digital detoxes work? do people stick with the changes in the long term? maybe we need to fix underlying issues in our lives for it to actually make a difference? How to make a healthy social media platform??
