Hey Everyone!

I came across an interesting find while I was doing my homework and thought I’d  share it here for anyone who’s interested:

It’s an article referencing the article we had a class discussion on “Is Google Making Us Stupid” by Nicholas Carr

here’s the link http://www.wfs.org/node/1000

enjoy 🙂

A Note about Readings

From this point forward, I will expect to you to print out any required reading and to bring it to class on the day that we will be discussing and using it. It is absolutely essential that you do the reading carefully and completely; if you haven’t read the material for the day, there is little reason to come to class, as you won’t be prepared to participate in a meaningful and constructive way.
