Atlantic Monthly had a similar article. Cover reads "Is Google making us Stoopid?"
If you ever watched the movie the Lawnmover Man, there is a scene where the lawn mower man is actually listening to just sections of cds saying that is the best way to absorb info.
For ME, the internet/google has been able to bring so much more topics available to read about, even in snips. However, it will always be up to the person on how much they will dive into any topic. People like to be entertained & just knowing that (& this was in that documentary for the online generation) kids going to school now have to be taught in a way that holds their attention.
Kind of scary to see an entire generation growing up w/the need to be entertained instead of being able to entertain themselves.
