Unnumbered but related Thing

My friend Eric (insert broken link. An early blogger, before blog was a word, he ~sadly~ no longer writes online.) is a long time reader of The Atlantic. The topic of conversation over a recent dinner had to do with reading fodder and attenion span. He mentioned Nicholas Carr's recent article Is Google Making Us Stupid? and if you have time, it's worth reading. (Yes, reading. Not skimming, but sitting down, slowing down and enjoying the words as they were put together by the author and taking time to reflect upon his point of view.)
