Once a month, Jerry Trumbule, M.A., ABD and I get together on blogtalkradio to discuss psychology. I later put the show up here. In this show, the discussion focuses on whether Google and the Internet are making us stupid. In the course of the discussion, we refer to three different articles. The first is by Leonard Pitts, Jr., a nationally-syndicated columnist. His piece was in reaction to a recent Atlantic article by Nicholas Carr,”Is Google Making Us Stupid?” Synchronistically, an article in the most recent issue of Wired struck me as relevant, as well: “The End of Theory: The Data Deluge Makes the Scientific Method Obsolete” by Chris Anderson.
