I only got through about 2 paragraphs of the Carr article before my mind wandered to this article
http://www.ascd.org/ASCD/pdf/journals/ed_lead/el200903_wolf.pdf
I vaguely remembered reading this article before, and it turns out that she references Carr.
I didn't read it deeply at the time, but it clearly left an impression. So, maybe that's what we'll have until we learn how to navigate, contain and comprehend the vast amount of information available - a society of people who have the vague imprint of knowledge encountered with little deep knowledge. Or peace of mind for that matter - now, what was I doing again...?
Still trying to get through the article when I began to think about this series about your brain on computers that ran in the NY Times a year ago - great series!
