As a part of it, I am considering Jonathan Zittrain's The Future of the Internet, and how to stop it. To be a crowd pleaser for a Monday morning class, I will use an interview he did with Stephen Colbert to illustrate his argument.



I am also using the recent piece by Nicholas Carr in The Atlantic Monthly titled "Is Google making us stupid: What the Internet is doing to our brains", as an item to discuss in tutorials.
