The shallows is an interesting way of tell the history of civilization and people. The story began a little slow for my taste however by the middle of the chapter the main idea of what the book is about started to become clear. The way the book bring information from through out history to make a point more valid and clear is quite interesting. For example connecting the printing press to technology that was the direct cause of social change. And how most of the time the invention that changed everything are not normally not seen its full potential from its creator. It also makes it clear on how society change according to the new inactivation that is presented to it. It also connect well know quotes from through history to show that change isn’t something new–that in fact its something that will happens and will keep on happening through out time. It also talks about how the brain of people changes according and with respect to the  advancement to tech in all fields.
