“Immersing myself in a book or a lengthy article used to be easy. My mind would get caught up in the narrative or the turns of the argument […] That’s rarely the case anymore. Now my concentration often starts to drift after two or three pages. I get fidgety, lose the thread, begin looking for something else to do. I feel as if I’m always dragging my wayward brain back to the text. The deep reading that used to come naturally has become a struggle.” — Quote from Is Google Making Us Stupid? What the Internet is doing to our brains by Nicholas Carr
