“Above all, what an ecology of attention should help us develop is an ability to modulate our focus, so as to be able to alternately – according to the time and needs – immerse ourselves very deeply in a book or look at it from afar, within the landscape that it composes with other cultural objects. To only value the deep immersion cultivated by our good old books, against the superficial surfing induced by the internet, is to compel us to choose between food and water. […] The real question […] is not whether the internet makes us stupid, but whether we will know how to lay out our environment in such a way as to foster deep and meaningful experiences.”
