The Book called “The  Shallows” is a interesting book on how technology has changed our intellectual thinking. In the three chapters I read, I noticed the book takes the reader through a history lesson about how maps, clocks, writing and reading came about. It allows for the reader to do critical thinking about inventions like the printing press and what would happen if technology never advanced over a period of time. The quote “The technology of the map gave to man a new and more comprehending mind, better able to understand the unseen forces that shape his surroundings and his existence” on page 41 stands out to me because along side maps was the compass used to know which direction a person would like to travel to. Technology has advanced with our phones showing us directions so we won’t get lost
