TLT CoffeeRead: Web doesn’t make you dumb
Posted on June 30, 2008
Filed Under TLT Coffee Read
“As industry and society become more Web-enabled, there is growing backlash among those who feel the medium is negatively impacting our collective intelligence. A recent cover story in Atlantic magazine asks if “Google is making us stupid,” while the book The Dumbest Generation warns readers not to trust anybody under 30 because of some sort of downloaded dopiness. With all due respect, these arguments are idiotic.”
