What the Internet is doing to our brains: Is Google Making Us Stupid?

Good historical article on how technology changes our lives and how we work. Very informative story about Friedrich Nietzsche, who bought a typewriter in 1882, and the changes that came about in his writing style as a result of using this new technology.

Similarly, the author, Nicholas Carr, discusses how Internet technology, such as Google, has changed the way users read and use the Web.

Well worth the read on The Atlantic.com
