If you read the Saturday essay in the June 4th Wall Street Journal where Clay Shirkey and Nicholas Carr faced off on the question “Does the internet make you smarter or dumber?,” you might want to read more at the Edge Foundation website. The Edge Annual Question for 2010 is “How is the internet changing the way you think?.” In their World Question Center you will find essays from over 170 members of the Edge community, names like Esther Dyson, Kevin Kelly, Richard Dawkins and Nissim Taleb. You will also find a collection of articles from newspapers and magazines from around the world that have responded to the question.
