What internet is
doing to our brains-Nichilas Carr
Why do we have smart phone
Benefit
1.
We crave information as sex as it release of
dopamine (encourage you to do things over and over again)
2.
Being able to find information increases a odds
of survival
3.
Know everything that is going around us
4.
We get rewards when we know what is going around
us (socially attractive, raises social status)
Digital environment that we enter through
smartphone
Compulsive behavior to point out phone when
there is no reason to do it (searching for new message or notification, check
phone or computer to go to bed, to get up)
People spend 10 seconds and look for the
link to check another information (grabs a zist and then leave for another
information) (3300 text a month =1 text/6 min)
Adults pull out 160 times in a day
-
Get habit of interrupted.
Drawback
1.
Working memory (tiny capacity, 2/4 elements in
conscious mind at any given moment)
2.
Long-term Memory (long capacity, memory
consolidation)
3.
Keep to deep thinking is being able to take the
information that is coming into mind from what we are learning, from reading,
conversation from short-term memory and transformation from short-term memory
to long term memory is memory consolidation.
4.
Overloading of short-term memory by lots of
information (never keeping information
in our attention to form the rich connections)
5.
Researcher in Stanford in California gather two
groups (one multitasking High), light multitasking. Two groups given basic tasks of cognitive
functions (deep thought, well thoughts). Heavy multitask-er did worse on all
six tasks. (Even on multitasking task,
they were found worse) Burning mental
energy switching from one thing to another.
6. Important information from trivia, multitasks
performed much worse, not able to distinguish important information from
trivia. The more time we jump from bits
of information to bits of information, the less we worry about how important
something is as we will be attacked to new ones, important once is not given
importance.
7. Patrician Greenfield, university of California at Los Angeles. 50 different experiment to see how media influence the
things. There is a benefit for all the
things we spent online. We seem to have greater
visual acuity (we can shift our focus quickly among more images on screen than
before , what we lose is not able to do mindful knowledge acquisition, creative
thinking, reflective thinking and critical thinking)
8. Fundamental aspect of highest forms of human thinking are acquisition of mindful knowledge.
9.
Being slave to technology, we have cut out slaves off from highest forms of thinking.
10.
First step is speed of gathering inform
11.
Second stage, more important to cut oneself from
all incoming information and think deeply what is being discovered and it is
fading away from us due to technology. (society values the speed to gather
information)
Connected but alone?
Sherry Turkle
1. Too many of getting text is a problem
2. They don’t change what we do but also what
we are as well.
3. Text during all meetings,
4. People get connected through text and
emails but they are not physically connected which led them not being able to
even communicate, ie, they can’t say the word that is meant to be said or dealt
in right time, as we can edit and make it what we only good things makes us
unable to deal in real world.
5. Someday siri will be more like best friend
as there won’t be any other person listing to them
6. Roberts will be there for us (sociable robots)
and we won’t have each other. Pretend
empathy.
7. We expect more from technology and less
from ourselves
8. Technology appeals to us most where we are
most vulnerable, we are lonely but afraid of intimacy. Social networks and sociable robots give us
illusion of companionship without the demands of friendship.
9. 1. Put our attention where we wanted to be.
2. We will always be heard 3. That we will never have to be alone. (central to
changing our psyches)
1. Before I have a feeling, I want to make a
call. Now it is: I want to have a feeling, I need to send a text.
1 I share therefore I am
1 Connection to Isolation. (cultivate
capacity to solitude, the ability to be separate to gather yourself) Solitude
is where you find yourself so that you can reach out to other people and form
real attachment.
1 “If we don’t teach our children to be
alone, they will only know how to be lonely.”
1 We need to listen each other.
1Redefining how we care for each other and
how we care for ourselves.
