Is Google Making Us Stupid? by Nicholas Carr – Atlantic Monthly, July/August 2008"According to Vorgan (The Memory Bible) and Small, one of America’s leading neuroscientists, digital technology has altered the neural circuitry in human brains and triggered an evolutionary process in just one generation. The authors identify the inherent problems and challenges this poses, providing a technology toolkit filled with strategies to preserve one’s humanity and keep up with the latest technology. They make their case based on abundant research in the areas of health, psychology, pediatrics, education, business, and technology. Their exercises include developing face-to-face communication skills as well as mastering electronic games. A compelling as well as timely read, this is highly recommended for all libraries.” "iBRAIN: Surviving the Technological Alteration of the Modern Mind."
