“ We don’t constrain our mental powers when we store new long-term memories. We strengthen them. With each expansion of our memory comes an enlargement of our intelligence. The Web provides a convenient and compelling supplement to personal memory - but when we start using the Web as a substitute for personal memory, by bypassing the inner processes of consolidation, we risk emptying our minds of their riches. ”
Nicholas Carr (The Shallows, p.192) in response to the ongoing trend of avoiding the consumption of knowledge and subsequent memorization, as more use the Web as a go-to-guy guide for information retrieval.
“ In a multi-tasking world where pure focus is harder and harder to come by, paper’s seclusion from the Web is an emerging strength. There’s nothing like holding a sheaf of beautifully designed pages in your hands. The whole world slows down, and your mind with it. ”
William Powers (Hamlet’s BlackBerry, p.216)
