"Immersing myself in a book or a lengthy article used to be easy. My mind would get caught up in the narrative or the turns of the argument, and I’d spend hours strolling through long stretches of prose. That’s rarely the case anymore. When I mention my troubles with reading to friends and acquaintances—literary types, most of them—many say they’re having similar experiences. The more they use the Web, the more they have to fight to stay focused on long pieces of writing."

Maki - I actually reference you in this blog post related to Nick Carr's article (http://tinyurl.com/68xgh5). An area he didn't explore is apophenia, finding insight in a large stream of disparate, random data.

Great article, I just finished reading his new book The Big Switch a few weeks ago, I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the internet, computing and what the future may hold.

No, I agree with Socrates and think that books are what has made us stupid. They close our species mental capacities into well tread trajectories while the decentralized knowledge base of the internet is allowing for more expansive thinking abilities.

Duh! Google is a HiveThink. The only thing I use Google for is to correct my spelling!
