Change Isn't Bad, Is It? Part 1

The following articles both analyze the state of current technology and the impact it has upon our culture. I don't have time tonight to write what I really think about these articles but I will publish my analysis tomorrow. For now, I want to present you the two articles so you can begin to make your own decisions upon the current impact of technology.

Anti Technology


This is an article written by Nicholas Carr of the Atlantic. The article is aptly titled, "Is Google Making Us Stupid?". Carr takes a negative look at the advancement of technology and its influence upon our culture and how we think.

Pro Technology


An article written in the Economist, "From Literacy to Digiracy", presents a more balanced view on the idea of technology and it's influence upon our society.

Whether you agree with either author, they are engaging articles that will make you think about how technology is changing the way we think and work, for good or bad.

More tomorrow...
