Engelbart's Augmenting Human Intellect [2]
Edge's annual question, How is the Internet Changing the Way you Think? [3]
Carr's Is Google Making Us Stupid? [4]
...and other common criticisms of "information overload"

- alankay1 10y agoCandles, wine and bread aren't technologies? Hard to take this seriously. (And I like to play music, and both music and musical instruments are technology, etc.) A better issue is not getting sucked into "legal drugs" that have no nutritional value. "We are already stupid" -- this is why things could be much much better but aren't. We have to start with ourselves, and a positive way to do this is to ask "what can real education really do to help humanity?"
