he thing about the Atlantic Google/Nicholas Carr article is that it said absolutely nothing new that wasn't said at least five years ago by any number of people. So yeah, he weaved in Nietzsche, it didn't really add anything to this debate, in fact the whole article didn't add anything to this debate. So although I love that you point out that his article is long and exactly what he's saying the web has curbed, it is fairly vapid, which is exactly what he says the web has done to brains. He basically namechecks a lot of things but shows no fresh thought.
Funny. However, I don't attribute that to the proliferation of information/web, I think it's just a weak article. I agree with you to some degree that the accessibility of info enhances the ability to think.
