神經心理學、媒介生態學、傳播研究

neuropsychology, media ecology, communication studies

N. Carr的著作《淺薄：網路正在影響我們的大腦》***，是一本很重要的、結合媒介生態學、心理學、神經生物學與哲學等領域的鉅作。因為它不斷提醒我們，網路可能會對我們的大腦與文化產生深遠的負面影響，使得它也成為相當具有爭議性的教材。作者希望透過書評方式，引起傳播學者的注意，並引發跨領域的討論以增進了解數位媒介對大眾的影響。

"The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains" is an excellent work connecting media ecology, psychology, philosophy, and neurobiology. It is also a provocative book, because it reminds us that the Internet evokes pervasive negative impact on our brains and culture. In this review, we suggest that researchers in communication studies should actively be involved in interdisciplinary discussion with other fields, such as psychology or Artificial Intelligence, to improve our understanding of the impact of digital media.
