Quote of the Day | 0203
The European: One would think that being able to look up every little piece of information would be liberating and give us the freedom to consider the big picture rather than the petty details.
Carr: I think it is pretty clear that in order to engage in conceptual thinking, you have to be attentive: That is the way you move information from your short-term memory to your long-term memory. It is only in that process that you weave individual pieces of information into a big picture and conceptual understanding.
Nicholas Carr in: ‘We Turn Ourselves Into Media Creations’
