Nicholas Carr in "What the Internet is Doing to our Brains:The Shallows" (2008) asserts that the more technology is used, the less we know to communicate. Carr supports this assertion by explaining that more people are using technology rather than communicating with others. Carr also explains that whenever we use a tool to exert greater control over the outside world, we change our relationship with that world. As more journals are moved online, scholars cited fewer articles than they have before. Silent reading was unknown in the ancient world, but tablets and scrolls were almost always read aloud. Our brains are constantly changing in response to our behavior. Changes in the form of new technology change how we use it.
