Nicholas Carr, in “The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains,” explores how digital media affects our cognitive processes, particularly our working memory. Carr argues that the internet, with its constant barrage of information and distractions, overloads our working memory, impairing our ability to engage in deep, focused thought and critical analysis.
