Have you noticed how hard it is to finish a book anymore? Not because books are boring, but because your mind keeps wandering, scanning, hunting for the next bit of information. This isn't a personal failing-it's a fundamental rewiring happening inside your skull. Once upon a time, we could dive deep into complex ideas, swimming through dense arguments for hours. Now we skim across the surface like stones skipping on water, touching down briefly before bouncing to the next shiny thing. The internet promised to make us smarter by putting all human knowledge at our fingertips. Instead, it's changing how we think at the most basic neurological level. We're not just reading differently-we're becoming different.
