I found the "Get Smarter" article by Jamais Cascio to be a lot more interesting than the article by Nicholas Carr about Google.  My reasoning for this is that I got the feeling that Nicholas Carr was no more than an aging old man, that was having trouble adapting to modern technology.  I found Cascio more relatable, because he can accept that Google is changing the way we think, but these types of evolutionary changes have been occurring for years within the human population.  He says, "Google isn't the problems; it's the beginning of a solution." I completely agree with that statement, and maybe that why I found this article a lot more interesting to read.
