“[Patricia Greenfield] concluded that “every medium develops some cognitive skills at the expense of others.â€� Our growing use of the Net and other screen-based technologies has led to the “widespread and sophisticated development of visual-spatial skills.â€� We can, for example, rotate objects in our minds better than we used to be able to. But our “new strengths in visual-spatial intelligenceâ€� go hand in hand with a weakening of our capacities for the kind of “deep processingâ€� that underpins “mindful knowledge acquisition, inductive analysis, critical thinking, imagination, and reflection.”
― Nicholas G. Carr, The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains
