About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
As you read this summary, you will learn that the utopia of information sharing offered by the Internet could be very misleading, even frightening: if a service is free, it is because you - and your personal data - are the product.
You will also learn :
- that the promised technological Edens are turning into dystopian futures;
- that technological evolutions have consequences on our cognitive capacities;
- how the Internet makes you dumber;
- how Web 2.0 is amoral and offers you a misleading mirror of yourself.
The religion of technology seems to promise you a paradise in which computers and robots could finally free you from your physical needs. These prophecies announced by the gurus of Silicon Valley have shaped public opinion. Social networks have instilled a culture of distraction and dependency that has made you forget that you were sharing personal data so that it could be monetized by the GAFA. Via his blog Rough Type, Nicholas Carr has shared many posts, between 2005 and 2015, which show the immorality of Web 2.0, of which he offers you here an anthology.
