Social Media II

There was a piece on the front page of the Sunday (7/10/2011) Dallas Morning News, Points section, under Points Summer Book Club; and it referenced a new book by Nicholas Carr called "What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains: The Shallows".  Sounds like a good read, and a great topic; completely in line with my previous thought.
According to the author, as we get used to the Internet, and skimming and scanning everything, and not fully reading or comprehending; we will lose our ability to use contemplative thought.

I will pick it up and read it...and report back.
