While reading the two articles below, think about how they reflect the cultural assumptions about technology that we talked about in class on Tuesday:
Nicholas Carr -- "Is Google Making Us Stupid?"
Matt Richtel -- "Hooked on Gadgets, and Paying a Mental Price"
Optional but interesting...
For a refutation of Carr's argument, check out this book review in the the New York Times:
Jonah Lehrer -- "Our Cluttered Minds"
