Ross, I agree with that statement but disagree that it applies to Carr.
He has the humility to talk about what he believes Google is doing *to
him* as well as to others (and for that matter, phrase it as a
question). When Carr writes, "I’m not thinking the way I used to think,"
I identify -- in part because he isn't standing on a mountaintop
sneering at the scatterbrained masses. I blogged about this today...
after pushing myself to read for a couple of hours, even though the
laptop beckoned from the next room. 

I don't agree with everything Carr says, but I agree with the way he
says it.
