Just finished watching The Shallows (2016), will try to drop some thoughts or review in the comments. #justwatched #watched #cinemastodon #plex #whattowatch #moviedon https://trakt.tv/movies/the-shallows-2016 #TheShallows #trakt
@hugoestr crazy Friday idea: do you want to have a small book club to read this book together? #TheShallows
The Shallows [https://thebigcity.co.nz/artists/s/the-shallows]
The Shallows were a short-lived Christchurch trio fronted by Roy Montgomery in 1985. Backed by Mick Elborado (bass) and Mary Heney (guitar / vocals) the trio recorded and self-released a sole 7" single over a couple weeks in May, 1985.
The single was the result of a $750 government arts grant - the group laid out their exact expenses on the inside sleeve of the single.

The Pin Group
The birth of Roy Montgomery as a creative force (at least in terms of recorded groups), the Pin Group were a discordant cog that wouldn't fit in the Christchurch scene of the early 80s. Recording the very first Flying Nun Records relea

> There is no exit from #TikTok’s cinema. One college student I know, having recently downloaded the app, told me that she now finds herself watching TikToks until her iPhone battery dies. She can’t pull her eyes away from the screen, but she is still able to withstand the temptation to recharge her phone while the app’s running. Electrical failure is the last defense against #InfiniteMedia.

Puh... #TheReefStalked war leider kein Hailight.
Die Story war selbst für dieses Genre ziemlich fade und die "Schauspieler" waren glaub ich genauso wenig echt wie der Hai 😁
Kann auch sein das die deutsche C-Movie Synchro diesen Eindruck verstärkt hat. Guckt lieber #TheShallows!
The Net is.. an interruption system.. for dividing attention.. the ease with which it can be programmed to send and receive messages.. #EMail.. office workers who use computers.. constantly stop what they’re doing to read and respond to.. e-mails.. glance at their in-box thirty or forty times an hour.. each glance.. a small interruption.. the cognitive cost can be high... frequent interruptions scatter our thoughts, weaken our memory, and make us tense and anxious..

Settling back with a glass of wine to watch #theshallows. Sometimes 90 minutes of resourceful-kick-ass-protagonist-fights-shark is all the simple thrill you need
A #review of the #books #Content by Kate Eichhorn and #TheInternetIsNotWhatYouThinkItIs by Justin Smith:
"How The Internet Turned Us Into Content Machines", The New Yorker (https://www.newyorker.com/culture/infinite-scroll/how-the-internet-turned-us-into-content-machines).

'Difficulties in developing an understanding of a subject or a concept appear to be “heavily determined by working memory load,” writes #JohnSweller, and the more complex the material we’re trying to learn, the greater the penalty exacted by an overloaded mind..many possible sources of cognitive overload, but two of the most important..are “extraneous problem-solving” and “ #DividedAttention.” ' #KeyPerson #KeyThought to remember from #TheShallows, #InstructionalDesign in #TechnicalAreas
'We can’t translate the new information into schemas. Our ability to learn suffers, and our understanding remains shallow. Because our ability to maintain our attention also depends on our working memory—“we have to remember what it is we are to concentrate on,” as #TorkelKlingberg says—a high cognitive load amplifies the distractedness we experience. When our brain is overtaxed, we find “distractions more distracting.” Another #KeyPerson to remember from #TheShallows , #OverFlowingBrian
'..that #BookReading “understimulates the senses”.. makes the activity so..rewarding. By allowing us to filter out distractions, to quiet the problem-solving functions of the frontal lobes, #DeepReading becomes a form of #DeepThinking. The mind of the experienced book reader is a calm mind..[with] the firing of our neurons, it’s a mistake to assume that more is better. ' In #TheShallows #NicolasCarr makes me think of #KurtVonnegut writing that reading books is the Western form of meditation.
' “The current explosion of digital technology not only is changing the way we live and communicate but is rapidly and profoundly altering our brains,” he says. The daily use of computers, smartphones, search engines, and other such tools “stimulates brain cell alteration and neurotransmitter release, gradually strengthening new neural pathways in our brains while weakening old ones.” '
