I read the first few paragraphs to see where Carr was going with his theory, and by scanning longer passages, the initial idea did not change.

Three comments on that piece:

First, he quotes everyone from HAL in “2001″ to Socrates; how is that any different than hyperlinking, propelling the reader to the very data that Carr claims the Internet is causing? He even has a link to Socrates.

Moreover, this is on a web page; what does the print version of this story look like? Is there a print version?

Second, Carr ironically commits what one of his interview subjects rejects: long blog posts. Is a magazine online article not a blog post when there are “article tools” at the page bottom for emailing, Digging, Redditing?

As proof, pathologist Bruce Feldman says in the piece, “I can’t read War and Peace anymore. I’ve lost the ability to do that. Even a blog post of more than three or four paragraphs is too much to absorb. I skim it.”

Third, I take books out from the library every week. I’m about to walk over there and check out two more titles on reserve for me. Not e-books but real physically-bound books with paper and ink. Am I Carr’s exception?
