How stupid can we get and what does it mean for the world?

I want to encourage you to click and read an article by Nicholas Carr entitled, Is Google Making Us Stupid?, published in the Atlantic Magazine. One snippet:

"Over the past few years I’ve had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been tinkering with my brain, remapping the neural circuitry, reprogramming the memory. My mind isn’t going—so far as I can tell—but it’s changing. I’m not thinking the way I used to think."

The whole article is a fascinating look at what is happening to the way we process information and think it through. After you read it, do what I did and ask yourself how this trend affects whatever it is you do. As a writer, it has profound ramifications for how and what I do, but how about you? Whether you are a mother of teenagers or a teacher or a pastor or anyone who tries to communicate with another person in any setting, this is a great article to have a look at.
