"Reading on the web is almost certainly affecting the way we process information, but it’s not making us stupid. Instead, it’s changing the way we’re smart. Rather than storehouses of in-depth information, the web is turning our brains into indexes. These days, it’s not what you know—it’s what you know you can access, and cross reference. In other words, books taught us to think like they do—as tools for storing extensive knowledge. Now the web teaches us to think like it does—as a tool for recall and connection."

“Your brain is an index,” The American Scene (via mappeal)
