Nicholas Carr, author of The Big Switch, wrote an article for The Atlantic titled Is Google Making Us Stupid?: What the Internet is doing to our brains. “My mind now expects to take in information the way the Net distributes it: in a swiftly moving stream of particles. Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a guy on a Jet Ski.” This is a superb article, and I couldn’t help but notice the strong tie-ins with TSK’s “1024 Window”.
