Is Google Making Us Stupid?

  • information is a kind of commodity, a utilitarian resource that can be mined and processed with industrial efficiency. The more pieces of information we can “access” and the faster we can extract their gist, the more productive we become as thinkers
    • For those who still read books, this reminds me somewhat of Jean Baudrillard's 'The Ecstasy of Communication':
      "Obscenity begins when there's no more spectacle, no more stage, no more theatre, no more illusions, when everything becomes immediately transparant, visible, exposed in the raw and inexorable light of information and communication. We no longer partake of the drama of alienation, but are in the ecstasy of communication."       - on 2008-07-21
