The “Does Google make us stupid” question receives another (but delayed) rebuttal (Campus Technology). I include this link as much for the comments as the analysis. In a way, I am collecting these posts because I want students in my graduate class on web experiences to sort through the various arguments.
So you have Carr and Bauerlein on one side of this argument and Tapscott, Rheingold, etc. on the other. What are the issues here? Potential vs. reality. Changing values. Changing priorities. Higher order thinking skills not keeping up. Superficial learning tasks.
The list grows and grows.
