Is Google Making Us Stupid? - Nicholas Carr

"Most of the proprietors of the commercial Internet have a financial stake in collecting the crumbs of data we leave behind as we flit from link to link—the more crumbs, the better. The last thing these companies want is to encourage leisurely reading or slow, concentrated thought. It’s in their economic interest to drive us to distraction."
- Nicholas Carr, from the Atlantic's article "Is Google Making Us Stupid?"
