The Different Engine: Rewiring the brain <Link to the article.

N.V. Discusses how the Internet is changing the way we think. He begins the article with a discussion on how the Internet and personal computers and smart phones have really changed our behavior. He also references several authors who have written on the same subject as well. He claims that the Internet is not making us stupid, but its just changing the way we used to think. Before we would research on specific topics by going to a library and reading books and whatnot. But now we are introduced to the Internet, we can do all of this where ever we want, when we want and we get a lot more information in one place. N. V. had some really good points on the subject of how the Internet is changing the way we think and learn, and it was refreshing to find someone who doesn't think we're all going to be stupid.
