Internet Mak Me Dum

Enough interesting (and somewhat alarming) ideas are bandied about in a review of The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains that I'm forced to consider limiting my surfing time: "MRIs performed on people while they read books show that they use regions linked to language, memory, and vision; surfers call on prefrontal sites of decision making and problem solving."

Maybe with the extra reading time I'll check out Ideas that Matter. And you all know you can get reviews emailed to you through the Powells site, right? And while I have a lot on my plate, someone will start this service for Canadian books, right?
