Facebook and Twitter. There is simply no experimental evidence to show that living with digital culture fundamentally changes brain organization in a way that affects one's ability to focus. Of course, the brain changes any time we form a memory or learn a new skill, but new skills build on our existing capacities without fundamentally changing them. We will no more lose our ability to pay attention than we will lose our ability to listen, see or speak.
The idea that the Internet might make us shallower has some instant appeal, because it is easy to see how the cognitive performance of people around us drops when they are distracted. But the notion that prolonged focus and deep reading mark the best path to wisdom and insight is just an assumption, one that may be an accidental consequence of the printing press existing before the computer. To book authors like us it seems a weird notion, but it is possible that spending 10 or more hours engaged in a single text might not be the most favorable way for building brainpower.
So don't be afraid of the digital era. Google is not making us stupid, PowerPoint is not destroying literature, and the Internet is not really changing our brains.

Snow and rain forecast for Monday morning is expected to bring to an end to the heavy smog that has blanketed much of the north for the past two days.
Many cities in China were all hit by smog on Sunday, according to the National Meteorological Centre, leaving much of the north of China under a yellow alert for pollution for the second day in a row.
The mainland has a four-tier, colour-coded, weather warning system. Red represents the most severe weather, followed by orange, yellow and blue.
Beijing has twice issued a red alert when air quality reached dangerous levels, ordering schools to postpone classes and carrying out traffic restrictions.
Many local residents have complained of inconveniences caused by the restrictions, and are growing more impatient with authorities' failure to improve the air quality.
Official data showed Beijing's PM2.5 levels had improved from January 2015 to October 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, but pollution had bounced back significantly in November and December.
Winter months are usually the most polluted in northern China, due to the increased use of central heating in downtown areas and the burning of coal.
