Nicholas Carr's Google article in the Atlantic is really getting people talking (if not reading)! The latest copy of aldirect features SF Gate columnist Mark Morford's "You are not reading enough: Has the Internet killed the joys of sitting down with a good book?"
Morford agrees with Carr but also writes: "Ah, but I do believe all is not lost. There is lingering hope. I am moderately sure a brain thusly amped on the wicked energy drink of the Web can, through honest time spent, through forcibly yanking the Ethernet cable out of one's cerebral cortex, be re-rewired, untrained, re-addicted to the deeper juice. In fact, it isn't that difficult, really. We just like to think it is."
He has a funny ending to his column, too. Check it out!

Sorry - This is the correct URL to the column even though it's not working live from here!
